Boston is out, imo. By point % they are out of the playoffs today. Ottawa will make it, and one of those other teams like MTL, or Columbus, or Detroit

Out with the old(farts), in with the new(punching bags), I say!

 

[Fogelhund]

Detroit is coming in hot... seven wins in a row, and they've put themselves right in the mix.

This could be a very close race to make it into the playoffs... not necessarily great to being a buyer at the deadline, as there could be more teams trying to add, and less selling.

The Full Story: Idiot Takes Puck From Boy, Penguins Fans Go Nuts

There was side drama to the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday evening. Many fans at PPG Paints Arena and those watching on screens large and small were left to wonder what in the world was happening as a larger corner of the arena was going bonkers and chanted...

Off topic.

Is it just me or does the posting frequency and general interest in this site appear to be on a steady decline?

I don’t spend much time on the mains or other teams boards so maybe they’re maintaining a steady pace but that doesn’t appear to be the case here. Not that long ago if you skipped a day here there would be umpteen pages of new posts to catch up on. I miss yesteryear.

Lots of good posters have been driven away.

Division back down to 1 if Philly doesn't come back in the third.

Time to right the ship this week.

Not sure how Cal has hung around for half a season. Parity I guess is good for bad teams

I think the flyers will win this game. Florida looks pretty disinterested.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

That little bump out pass by Michkov on the Flyers 3rd goal was pretty sweet.
Now the Flyers take the lead. It’s been something like 60 straight games since Florida blew a 2 goal lead.

Leafs fans would lose their minds if Toronto played the way the Panthers are playing.

Here's hoping

Cates had an awesome game.
I know theres one poster that keeps bringing up his name on the trade board, saying he's the center we should make a play for.

6 points separate 9 teams from WC1 spot and Boston has played the most games.

Sens will definitely grab one of those two spots.

I'm expecting a dogfight between Sens and Wings. It might be impossible for the Bruins to finally fall.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Wow Philly, good job.

Do you think Columbus can keep in themselves in the race. They have been a really interesting team.

Bruins will be out of the playoffs this year.

Well..

You called that

I don't think they'll hang around.

 

[Evilhomer]

Wow Philly, good job.

I think a lot of people haven't actually watched any Florida games this season. It's not the team you remember from the past two seasons. It's why I keep saying that the Leafs will comfortably win the division, and they will likely do it with a lower point total than in previous seasons. The competition at the top end of the division is just not as good anymore.

 

[leafsfan5]

this division stinks, wow

We really need to take advantage and get some separation

I don't think it will even matter. The separation will be created simply by virtue of the fact that the other teams in this division are mostly just middle of the pack teams at this point. The leafs will fall ass backwards into winning the division whether they play well or not. That may not actually be a good thing, but that's the reality of the Atlantic division right now.

It really emphasizes the importance of us getting our game back to where we want it to be

This is the clearest pathway to the final 4 we've had since the Canadian division
