That was a tough one for the Preds. They need to win in regulation on Weds if they want to make the playoffs.

Yupp. Florida would be smart to let somebody else pay him this summer. Having a top 10 shooting percentage season ever at the moment.

There's still 30 games left.. Nothing is that dire at the moment.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing for Tampa and Florida to kill each other.

I don't disagree, but I don't see the standings shaking out that way given the games in hand. I don't think it's realistic that the Leafs will lose all three games in hand on Tampa, or for Tampa to maintain its current pace given its road record and its record against good teams.

I mean, that's what I think as well but considering you had us catching Boston imminently such a short time ago you're making me second guess myself.

For sure. I can't imagine anyone here has ever been incorrect in their predictions.

True. They've played more games than the Blues and Kings so a regulation win against LA would certainly be better for them.

I think they'll be an easier matchup, but they might surprise this playoffs.

No one is expecting much, plus as McAvoy put it prior to this season, they can show this is their Bruins iteration now.

I would prefer Bruins to Panthers, but it's far from an easy matchup. Especially if they manage to get at least 2C at the deadline.

I'm pretty sure Boston fans have high expectations and the Bruins going deep wouldn't be a surprise to me, not even a little bit.

Tied for 1st in PTS%, 2nd in regulation PTS%, 6th in goals per game, 4th in goals allowed per game and 1st in goal differential, sounds like a cup favorite to me.

Most likely this is as weak as Bruins get. They have cap penalty from Bergeron & Krejci signing and are missing centers

They might add grit, as some suspect, but sooner or later they will add 1 and 2 C and improve by leap.

Just for fun, this is how we compare to Boston.

11th in PTS%, 13th in regulation PTS%, 8th in goals per game, 12th in goals allowed per game and 13th in goal differential.

I keep coming back to what O'Dog said - this is not a serious team. Yes, it is that simple.

I have to say, I'm surprised that they're this good this season but they're good, no doubt about it. They're like that monster in the horror movie, just when you think he's gone for good ...

Considering Jeff is the guy who compared Marner to Jiri Tlusty, I don't think we should take him seriously.

I wonder if Boston finds a way to acquire Lindholm from Calgary...
