League News: 2018-19 NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) Vol. 4

[sycamore]

Columbus loses, Carolina, Montreal and Detroit winning comfortably...someone up there likes us.

 

[txpd]

so far, so good

 

[BackToTheBasics]

MTL almost doubling TB in shots 45-23. Everything is going right for the Caps tonight. Thursday's game is definitely not going to be easy.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Holy shit. I just realized CBJ only has one more game left after this. They’re f***ed.

Edit. Wrong, they have two. Regardless this is crazy close and multiple teams with season on the line likely on the final game of the season.

No Hedman, TB pretty clearly not much left to play for. Thursdays game will feature four goals by Ovi!

 

[895]

Reallll good night so far. CBJ might even miss if the Habs hold on to beat Tampa.

 

[Red Dread]

Holy ****. I just realized CBJ only has one more game left after this. They’re ****ed.

Eh, they still got Rangers and Senators. Easiest schedule compared to CAR and MTL.

Two more: @ NYR and vs OTT

But Carolina is in the drivers seat: vs NJD and @ PHI

 

[Blades of Steel]

Eh, they still got Rangers and Senators. Easiest schedule compared to CAR and MTL.

Yeah, I mistakenly thought this was game 81 for them. Still going to be close, those other teams have young kids playing spoiler with nothing to lose.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

DET with ENG. Pens won't get any points tonight.

Reallll good night so far. CBJ might even miss if the Habs hold on to beat Tampa.

I don't want CBJ to miss I want them to beat up Tampa in the 1st round.

 

[marcel snapshot]

So the Red Wings have won 6 straight and 8 of 9. They're a threat to take the Pens again Thursday night

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Might not be a bad thing if Caps face a motivated Habs team on Thursday, knowing how uninspired their play was against an unmotivated (standings-wise) FLA team on Monday.

I don’t know about anyone else but even as a fan when I see the panthers on the schedule I’m not thrilled. I always plan on doing something else because the games aren’t very fun to watch. Something about certain teams that are just a bore to watch the Caps play, not to mention the Caps always play down to the boring team.

I could see the players having the same feeling, their play sure seems like it.

 

[sycamore]

I have to say, before tonight, I had Boston winning, possibly, but Carolina, Montreal and Detroit? Crazy.

 

[Sam Spade]

The Pens losing is sort of irrelevant but I was pretty dang sure they would run the table against the Wings, Wings, Rangers, and posted it here.

That being said Pens are missing Letang, Dumoulin and Malkin, so there ya go. Also, this win streak is killing the Wings draft position.

Figured the Canes would win, Leafs have nothing to play for, liked the Habs chances without Hedman and with a minor league goalie starting for the Bolts. Shocker was the Jackets, they came out flat and got wrecked.

Pretty sure all of these results tonight were good for the Caps right?

 

[tycoonheart]

Just realized Pens could still miss the playoffs.

 

[Portable Mink]

One from Tavares puts him at 47

Ovi - 51 - 2 games left
Draisaitl - 47* - 2 games left, one in progress
Tavares - 47 - 2 games left

Common Ovi hold on....

 

[troyerlaw]

The Caps don’t play Tampa again. We play montreal and then Isles

... and win the lottery!

 

[sycamore]

Just realized Pens could still miss the playoffs.

Also just realized that Carolina could pass them.

 

[kicksavedave]

Just realized Pens could still miss the playoffs.

Yep, two games to go and they haven't clinched anything. LOL

 

[Portable Mink]

Washington 102
Islanders 99
Penguins 97
-------------------
Hurricanes 95
Jackets 94
-------------------
Montreal 94

PIT - DET, NYR
CAR - NJD, @PHI
CLB - @NYR, @OTT
MON - @Was, TOR

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Also just realized that Carolina could pass them.

Yup. Might have to root for a Pens win next game.

Yeah, I kinda mixed messages there. No Hedman, no motivation for TB, means don't take Habs beating them for meaning too much.

Separately, Ovi loves playing Montreal, I expect him to have a good game vs them.
