Completely off topic, but I'm really tired of looking at Baldina. I added some Ogie hair for you

Nice! Any chance at a gold tooth and maybe a few more chains?

Interestingly enough, he hasn't smiled in a team photo since he went bald. No BS, do a Google search. So you'll just have to imagine the gold teeth behind those tight lips.

Maybe as a child he was frightened by a Mister Clean commercial.

 

[Bench]

For whatever it's worth, the Draft Kings odds have the Flyers as the slight favorite tomorrow. Very slight, but still.

Also still very strange to see gambling odds right on the NHL official schedule.

Or maybe Mr Clean banged his mom, baldness is hereditary.

Let's hope it doesn't get to this tomorrow night:

They wouldn't "have" to pull the goalie. They might, but wouldn't have to.

 

[Henkka]

Hope Ovechkin will miss the empty-netter.

 

[moropanov]

Philadelphia will screw it they are very bad team top 3 worst in league in ability.

 

[Chelis Chili]

Oh boy, what a game! I hope it wasn't unnecessary. But it doesn't look really good. Damn, just 1 or 2 more points would be so nice! This stupid garbage 7 game curse is probably costing us the PO's
But we also lost to the Caps a week ago totally unnecessarily! Just the OT there and 2 points tonight would be enough.

Capitals–Flyers rivalry
Can we rely on it or is the rivalry no longer to be taken seriously?

 

[Snuggs]

Playoffs for my rec volleyball league at the same time the game is on tonight. Considering skipping out for this last game...

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

They wouldn't "have" to pull the goalie. They might, but wouldn't have to.

It would be pretty stupid on their part to not.

Getting the loser point does f*** all for Philly in terms of the playoffs.

They absolutely must win in regulation and have a lot of other shit go right. In a tie game, they will undoubtedly pull the goalie in that last minute to pour it on

 

[Sentinel]

So, can someone break it down for me: what must happen for us to make playoffs? We must win and -- what else?

Capitals to lose in any fashion

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Capitals to lose in any fashion

So if we assume each of the two games is a toss-up our chance of making the playoffs is about 25%.

But I'm sure those odds sites will have it at 63.471% or something.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

So, can someone break it down for me: what must happen for us to make playoffs? We must win and -- what else?

* We need a point and to have Washington lose in regulation and Pittsburgh lose at any point.

* We need a win and to have Washington lose at any point... if we win, Pittsburgh doesn't figure into anything, nor does Philly.

* We lose in regulation and we're 100% out because Philly or Washington both have the tie-break over us.

Stress-free day for me. I don't think there's a chance in hell the Caps lose. Just looking forward to the Wings playing well and winning, capping off the best season since pushing TB to seven games nine years ago. And with more optimism about quality of young players here and those coming than anytime in past twenty years.

nah f that, we want playoffs

Moneypuck has Washington at 43% , Detroit at 37%, Pittsburgh at 15% and Philly at 5% probability of getting the WC2 spot.

Technically they can get in, even if they lose in OT.

Essentially they need to get 1 more Point than WSH. However if they only get one Point, then Pittsburgh has to lose their last games (in OT or Regulation).

 

[Sentinel]

I don't see Washington losing in regulation.

 

[Hen Kolland]

I don't see Washington losing in regulation.

Why? They lost in regulation as many times as they won in regulation this season, and have lost 3 more games total than they've won. It isn't like we are asking for the Sharks to beat the Rangers in regulation

 

[izlez]

* We need a point and to have Washington lose in regulation and Pittsburgh lose at any point.

Is this right? I was thinking OTL from us would get Philly in if they won. But this does seem right now that I'm looking again

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Fedotov gonna lay down the shutout, flip off Ovie and tell him "bring this to Putin"

 

[Retire91]

Would be nice to get in, the days of draft position are over let's go boys!

 

[Ezekial]

Washington has to choose whether or not to ride Lindgren in a back to back nights (faced 16 SOG last night in a shutout) or turn to Darcy Kuemper who has not been good at all this season. So we have that in our advantage I would think, I would expect Lindgren 100%.
