Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[ULF_55]

Tampa is firing on all cylinders right now. Think they might end up taking the division.

Are the Leafs?

Leafs and Lightning both 5-4-1 last 10 games.

Looks like Tampa needs home ice ...

 

[Evilhomer]

So projecting:

'Canes, Caps', Panthers and Leafs win ...

Leafs play 'Caps?

In the playoffs? I think Carolina will beat Washington in the second round and the Leafs will beat either Florida or Tampa in the second round. I think there is a scenario where Tampa could potentially beat Florida in the first round if Tkachuk doesn't come back.

Isles

Isles

The dreaded combination of a struggling goalie, a bad defense, some key injuries and a mediocre coach. It says something about the Eastern conference that the Islanders are still in contention for a playoff spot, and in fact may be the most likely to get the 8th seed.

Lightning 11 13 shots 3 goals halfway through game.

Islanders, 19 shots ... zilch.

Kucherov and Point showing the Isles who is boss.

 

[ULF_55]

So do we see a 10 year buy-out of the Giraffe this summer?

10 * $1mm

Or will Islander ownership clean house of everyone in management including Lou and never has been good enough Roy behind the bench?

Same two teams play in a couple of nights on Long Island. I think the islanders will probably win that game.

 

[BallardEra]

11 points in the last 3 games for Kucherov and has now tied MacKinnon for the Art Ross race.

On March 14, MacKinnon had a 10 point lead on him:

The guy chasing me for first has him in our pool. I absolutely dread checking Tampas box score.

In those 10 games:

Tampa: 5-4-1
Colorado: 8-1-1

 

[BallardEra]

More stats padding for Kucherov.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Blues have closed the gap on the Wild from 16 to 2 points since January 31. Now part of that is certainly due to Minnesota’s key injuries but still impressive nevertheless.

 

[TheShape]

Kucherov is generational. The guy doesn't get talked about enough.

 

[Nineteen67]

CBJ in OT and Rags beat SJ is the best case scenario tonight …….then Florida crush that team out east tomorrow.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Hopefully they grab the first wild card and knock off Vegas.

 

[Nineteen67]

Looking like worst case scenarios tonight.

Rangers in a must win now.

It’s been a long day of hockey. Still watching the battle of Alberta and hoping for a war.

So weird. Collapsed fan on stairs.

Pulling for the Flames, but it feels like the West playoff race is over as far as who is getting in.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jesus, when did Vancouver and Calgary fall a million miles outside of the playoffs?

The Blues can't stop winning. Flames have four games in hand but seems like no one will catch the Blues

How does a team have four games in hand on another team this late in the season?

Shame. Would’ve been more interesting to have Calgary or barring them Vancouver in.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Klapka and Nurse tee off on each other.
