Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[LeafalCrusader]

famous last words....inner hasek channeled against us and ready.

He's an Ontario guy too so yeah he's going to stand on his head lol.

 

[Gary Nylund]

I think the 79 Flyers still have the longest streak without a loss. Recollection is that it was 35 games, but I was pretty young at that point and I barely remember anything that happened yesterday.

It's definitely the Flyers, 35 sounds right. I vaguely remember that happening, it was surreal.

OT has been around since 1921 so...

Not in the regular season it hasn't.

Correct.

Regular season was 1983.

The Islanders would have the longest win streak without OT at 15 in 1981

What I remember about that season was the Cup final between the Flyers and Islanders, because there seemed to be fights in every game. Imagine the idea of seeing a fight in a Cup final game these days?

We lost 3-2

 

[Stephen]

Have they announced a game?

They should rebrand the Chicago event the Winter Asskick. Blackhawks suck!

I'm pretty sure the Leafs will win just to irritate people even more.

They'll probably win and then drop the game in Ottawa against the lowly Sens on Saturday.

Snipe from Vegas

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO Dubas' new signing is a booger licker LOL

 

[tmlms13]

TY knights

It's bad enough with all the canucks fans coming out of the woodwork, don't need Oiler fans to become insufferable too

 

[stickty111]

Finally the streak is done.
Today is the first great team they played during this streak.

 

[Divine]

The Oilers benefit from a weak division more than any other team in the league. Somehow they've convinced some hockey analysts they're contenders by beating a weak LA Kings team in the playoffs every year.

Ironically enough, since McDavid was drafted the Leafs eliminated the strongest team between both teams. The best part of the emergence of Vancouver is that for the first time in years the Oilers might have to play a real playoff team in the first round. If Vancouver sucked it'd be another season of getting to play a weak LA Kings team who hasn't won a round in a decade to prove they can win in the playoffs.

 

[Jojalu]

The streak ends tonight.

Good call.

It was a very good game. Hill was unbelievable

Still time of course, but Aidin Hill may be the starting goalie for Canada in the next Olympics.

Say that 10 times and all you can do is just shake your head. The guy looked like a complete stiff not even 2 years ago. He's turned things around greatly, but it also says a lot about the state of Canadian goaltending.

Pepperidge farm remembers some posters here wanting to grab Hill has a UFA as our backup a few year back.

Goalies are voodoo

Even if Samsonov returns to his former self having the likes of Brodie playing in front of him won’t stop the bleeding………..

 

[Dekes For Days]

Vegas is a middle of the pack team defensively this year.

We'd crush them in zone time, and probably "scoring chances" but of course in reality, in the playoffs 40 foot shots with no one anywhere near the front of the net aren't really scoring chances..

It's a pretty grim position for Canada. Skinner? Jarry? Hill? Those are your options. If they let the Russians play in the Olympics, Shesterkin and Sorokin? Yikes.
