The Washington Capitals were hanging by a thread, backs slammed up against the wall after Carolina Hurricanes’ last W. Down 3-1 in the series, the Caps brought the fight back home for Game 5, with puck drop hitting at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday at Capital One Arena in D.C.; a do-or-die kinda night with the crowd buzzing and hopes hanging in the air like playoff magic.
Now here’s where it gets fun. While fans were locked in, holding their breath and maybe crushing some wings, the Carolina Hurricanes decided to step up and seal the deal. And honestly? Their playoff dub didn’t just knock out the Caps, it totally saved Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets fans from a last-minute streaming scavenger hunt. With Carolina taking care of business on time, there was no overtime mess, no channel hopping chaos, just pure hockey and streaming!
Sean Shapiro hopped on X mid-game with a lil’ heads-up for hockey fans everywhere, dropping: “Programming note: if Canes-Capitals goes to OT and you want to watch Stars-Jets, find TruTV or stream it on Max.” Basically saying don’t freak out if TNT switches things up, just grab the remote (or your phone) and flip to the backup plan.
And speaking of Stars vs. Jets… oh boy, it’s crunch time in Winnipeg! The Dallas Stars are rolling into town, sitting pretty with a 3-1 series lead, and the Jets? Well, they’re hanging on to their Cup dreams by a thread, tryna avoid packing their bags. It’s Game 5, and it’s all going down this Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 9:30 p.m. ET on TNT (or TruTV… or Max, ya know, pick your fighter). The stakes? Sky high. The vibes? Tense. The drama? Chef’s kiss.
