Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Jojalu]

With the way the team is currently playing, I don't think there is any reason to be concerned about playing Arizona.

For whatever reason, they have been awful against Arizona. It just doean't make sense

agree, somehow Arizona keeps parading out Vezina candidates against the Leafs

 

[BallardEra]

Pens are now 9 points out of the final WC spot with 3 games in hand.

Nice to see some regression for the Canucks team SV%

But they still scored 7 goals on 24 shots lol. In the words of Jesse Pinkman, "(they) can't keep getting away with this!!!!"

 

[Dave92]

Nice to see Detroit sprinkle a little salt on the wounds of the delusional Sens fans that think they still have any chance at the post season.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Monahan has a Hattrick for the Jets. Damn he’s fit in well there.

And then no one else scored for Winnipeg as Calgary scores 5 unanswered to win 6-3. Jesus.

Breaking Bad still maybe the best television series ever made.

Hey look, another mediocre game for Vasilevskiy.

Panthers 9-1-0
Rangers 8-1-1

Leafs 7-2-1

To be fair, the Senators never said when their era of unparalleled success would start.

Tampa Bay getting destroyed lately too. 9-2 to Florid and then lose to the Sens tonight.

Toronto is 3 points ahead of TB with 3 games in hand
Toronto is 4 points ahead of DET with 1 game in hand

We will likely up as A3

I think Tampa is just going through what every multi-championship team eventually goes through. Once the important depth guys have moved on for more money elsewhere, it's hard to keep the ship together. No shame in what's happening to them now. It's the cost of winning.

 

[BallardEra]

There were actually 3 hat-tricks yesterday in that Canucks/Wild game.

McDavid also has 50 assists in his last 34 games.

At least. A2 is not out of reach

I think second in the division is more likely than third. Boston has the toughest schedule in the league down the stretch (for whatever that is worth, I guess), but more importantly they are struggling mightily at the moment. The leafs will obviously need to win their two games in hand, but the opportunity to pass Boston is there if they can also take 3 of 4 points from the two games remaining against Boston. In any event, I don't think they will even need home ice advantage to beat Boston in the first round.

Not sure I’d go that far personally, but I do think Boston is potentially catchable.

If the Leafs don't win their two games in hand or lose both games against Boston, then no chance they take second place.

Jaromir Jagr being savage during his speech, he still got it

"I would like to thank my girlfriend Dominika, but she is too young to remember me playing for Pittsburg"

Don't often see this:

Vancouver Canucks vs. Minnesota Wild | 2024-02-19 | TSN

The Wild scored five goals in the first five minutes of the third period to erase the Canucks' two-goal lead entering the period to secure the stunning victory on Monday. In the win Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov both scored a hat-trick and recorded three assists. J.T. Miller picked up his...

He had won 2 stanley cups before she was born.

It's kind of wild the Devils are currently out of the playoffs. Their goaltender woes are really bad uh? They've also had some big injuries as well... but their depth seemed very good.

Yeah, they’ve had a real rough go in net. That said, I wouldn’t be shocked if they take either Tampa or Detroits spot before it’s all said and done.

If I was a betting man and had some "fun money" to play with, I would have put some money down on the Devils winning the Cup this year before the season started. They seem(ed) to have all the tools necessary to do so, and their trajectory was rocketing skyward.

I have them at the top of my list of biggest surprises/disappointments this year.
