Live, recorded play-by-play and color commentary of Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs’ Western Conference Semifinals series between the Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche with Owen “Redbox” Parkin and Ian Genge.
Both the Winnipeg Jets and the Dallas Stars closed out what might have been the best opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in recent memory. They stages multi-goal comebacks in their respective Game 7s, with Dallas trailing 2-0 in the third before storming back with Mikko Rantanen’s hat trick on his former team, one which will go down as one of the most memorable periods of hockey ever, to win 4-2, the first regulation multi-goal comeback in Game 7 NHL history. Winnipeg held their own with their comeback, down 3-1 with less than two minutes left in Game 7, scoring twice, including one with three seconds left to force overtime, the latest tying goal in Game 7 history. Then after 36 minutes of OT, Adam Lowry tipped a point shot to complete the Manitoba Miracle and win the third-longest Game 7 in NHL history. While both teams advanced to the second round, they had their fair share of struggles. The Jets allowed the Blues to run up the score in multiple games and come back to force a Game 7. The Stars, meanwhile, took a Game 1 drubbing and at times looked overmatched against the likes of Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. But both teams pulled magic out of their hats. They’re also dealing with significant injuries. Mark Scheifele has been out since the first period of Game 5 and Josh Morrissey played all of two minutes before leaving Game 7. Jason Robertson returned to the lineup, and it’s a big boost for a team that already has plenty of offensive production. Miro Heiskanen remained out of the lineup entering this game.
