Wait, so today is:

Go Bruins
Go Hurricanes
Go Lightning
Go Penguins
?

I'd say:
Go Bruins, Canes, Habs, and Wings, myself.

I just got a text today saying that I have playoff tickets available for Carolina. You know who I want to see the Caps play in round 1

 

[tenken00]

I'd say:
Go Bruins, Canes, Habs, and Wings, myself.

I'm assuming Lightning over Habs so Habs eliminated and we won't have to try to clinch Metro against a desperate team.

I'm assuming Pens over Wings so that they won't drop to WC1.

I want to clinch Thursday and use that last NYI game on Saturday to rest a lot of players.

The Habs losing doesn't eliminate them I don't think.

On the other hand, if Pitt loses in regulation today, they can't win the Metro.

Actually you're right.

The scenario above has Canes at 95, BJs at 94 and Habs at 92

Edit

Malkin will be back before the RS ends, but looks like Letang is more long term.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

We're in agreement that Carolina is our best matchup right?


I think you have to be huffing paint if you want any part of Columbus right now.

 

[Sam Spade]

Bolts are starting Ed Pasquale and have no Hedman, so I think the Habs have a chance.

Go Bruins and Canes for sure. Also hoping for the Avs goalie to pitch a shutout.

Absolutely no problem with someone going for an ENG with 2 seconds. If the net is empty, you haven't called uncle and everything is fair game.

Oshie just didn't like losing. I don't mind that. I don't buy his reasoning though.

If it were a Cap I would pissed to take the foot off the neck, and, goal differential is a thing too.

What is sad, is a guy scoring an ENG is what firms up rivals in the current climate, which creates the high ticket grudge matches all fans love.

 

[Portable Mink]

Go anyone playing anyone we can face. I’d rather see all those teams unable to win when they really want to than anything.

Also go Colorado. A nice 2-0 shutout please.

I think even with no Hedman and Vis the Bolts still could walk the Habs in their sleep.

I think part of the issue is it clearly wasn't just potting one to secure a W. Gourde was hunting fo this 20th and he celebrated as if he tapped in a Joe Juneau game 7 winner.


Also TBL was so far ahead in the standing so at that point goal differential was never a factor. I'll put it this way, Oshie probably doesn't race that way if it's Montreal doing that. They're a team trying to fight for the ploffs, trying to secure tie-breakers, and trying to build momentum.

Oshie probably had a bigger issue with it because it was a personal stat padding and it was done by a team that had trounced every team they'd played this season. You also have to factor in the existing bad blood.

 

[895]

Rooting for the Bruins is such a foreign feeling.

Quick FYI Verizon is running the NHL package free right now as a promo....

 

[marcel snapshot]

MoJo with a goal. Was always surprisingly good around the net

 

[kicksavedave]

Quick FYI Verizon is running the NHL package free right now as a promo....

So is NHL.com.... they're giving the last 2-3 games away free, but you sign up for next season as part of it, and then have to cancel that if you don't want to pay for next year.

Tks. Guessing it's related to MLB opening week or so. It's been a few years since I made the investment, so it's nice to have a few viewing options while the promo lasts.

So is Comcast. Center Ice is available because there's a free preview of MLB League Pass, and hockey and baseball out of market packages share channels, so they end up enabling the NHL,games when they're on the shared channel

Every time I watch the Red Wings I think: man this team plays so much better than their record

I know we are all happy with Vrana but imagine this team with Larkin instead.

I know we are all happy with Vrana but imagine this team with Larkin instead.

Definitely some teams wondering how they helped allow Larkin to fall to #15. Of course, Pasternak went even later that year. At least Vrana provides something close to comparable value, relative to one other 2014 picks ahead of Larkin and Pasta.

The guy on Detroit who looks better to me every time I see him play is Athanasiou

 

[ChaosLord]

Leafs playing with their backup goalie. Could bode well for Carolina.

 

[txpd]

Toronto sure is stinking it up
