2024 2025 Around the League Part 2

I would understand it more if Martinez or Maroon were a long time Jet player, but neither of them ever played for them.

Yeah, I actually had to double check if either Maroon or Martinez ever played for the Jets. I knew they didn’t but went ahead and checked anyway LOL

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Martinez and Maroon are retiring after this game.

Not directed at you obviously, but man I don't give a SHIT about Alec Martinez or Fat Maroon. Very unremarkable players the both of them and should just retire in silence

 

[sethro109]

Oof. First Ekholm and now Ehlers

I would loose my shit if a linesman hurt one of our top 6 players.

 

[dahrougem2]

Canucks up 1-0 on Minnesota.

If the Canucks can win, the Flames control their own destiny. Their remaining schedule is against the Ducks tomorrow, then two games against the Golden Knights and Kings who might be resting their better players.

The Wild IMO need to win tonight.

I still want Kelly Sutherland's head on a pike for diving randomly in front of that dump in

It's too bad that it's too late for both the Wild AND the Blues to hilariously collapse and miss the playoffs

 

[missionAvs]

Man. Wild going into the 3rd down 2-0. Flames might have a shot here.

And just like that. 2-2. Nucks suck at everything.

Yep. Canucks suck.

 

[BaconNater]

Please Naz lead the Flames and accomplish this really funny thing.

Calgary still has a chance but insanely unlikely at this point.

If I'm not mistaken, scenarios:

Minnesota clinches with a win OR any Calgary loss

St. Louis clinches with a regulation win OR any Calgary loss

Calgary clinches in a couple scenarios:

1) Going 3-0 and either Minnesota or St. Louis lose game 82 in regulation

2) Going 3-0 all regulation wins, St. Louis can win game 82 but only in OT/SO as Calgary would have the RW tiebreaker, 32-31.

Round 1 I'm hoping for

TOR - OTT .... battle of Ontario
TBL - FLA .... battle of Florida
WSH - MTL ... Ovi vs MTL cinderella?
CAR - NJD ... who cares

WIN - MIN ... battle of middle of nowheres
DAL - COL ... battle of Moose/Necas
VGK - STL ... battle of heavy teams
LAK - EDM .. battle of 4th times the charm

Looks kinda meh, other than TBL vs FLA and DAL vs COL.

Last 8 will be spicy though.

Sadly WIN and EDM wont be tested at all in the first round. LAK or MIN winning the first round would be a big upset for me.

St Louis has the tiebreaker over Calgary if RW is tied?

Have you seen how cripplingly injured the Oilers are suddenly? They lost Ekholm for possibly the whole season, Skinner got dinged up, McDavid got reinjured, and Draisaitl was a game time decision of "no"

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Oh and Trent Frederic also injured. So is Zach Hyman.

Oilers are screwed

I hate the Oilers as much as anyone but that sucks. They were cup favorites at the beginning of the season.

I'd rather see them lose when healthy than this.

It's very unlucky for them, but I have no pity to spare

Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game. It’s harsh but it comes with the territory. Better them than us.

Ekholm would be a huge miss! I doubt McDavid will miss playoffs.

 

[EdAVSfan]

With all of the nonsense we’ve gone through over the years with regards to injury, substance abuse, suspensions, etc. I have zero sympathy for any other teams bad luck. I reserve sympathy for the fans of teams who are run horrendously, like the Sabres.

 

[Ceremony]

It's a good thing the Edmonton Oilers were 2024 Stanley Cup Champions. It would've been a real shame if they had blown that chance, given all the injuries they're suffering this year.

 

[dahrougem2]

St Louis has the tiebreaker over Calgary if RW is tied?

Correct, they have a lot more ROWs

So true. It's just part of the game. Sometimes you are lucky sometimes not.

Well, oh my
