Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Cleetus]

Apparently if Wild had instead gotten scored on they would have got zero points. I wasn't aware of that rule. And after learning of that rule this is even more crazy

I was yesterday years old when I found that out crazy!

A point is a point...except when it isn't a point???

I suppose that it's a high-risk, high-reward scenario which can make a coach look really good or really bad.

The last time a team pulled their goalie during OT and scored was LAK vs BOS Oct 28th 2017.

LOL Bruins

You need to stay within one, when you pull out your goalie, they will concede a goal !

yea think that was on that face off they drew it back and Toffoli sniped with like barely anytime on the clock that was crazy

From all the rumours it seems goalie market is going to be intersting in the off season

- Apparently Connor Hellebuyck wants out
- Jacob Markström (Flames owner is a cheap moron and Markstrom has signigng bonuses starting next July 1st)
- Swayman or Ullmark I think one of them is gonna go
- Saros (if preds are gonna go the rebuild route he may be available)

Should be interesting

I dont think we'll see Helly going out tbh. He seems very loyal and wants to go all in with his team. The others...yea it will be interesting.

Canucks had their starter for 49 out of 66 games.
Leafs had their starter for 30 out of 64 games.

Canucks will be fine...

Edmonton has 3 games in hand though, 10 points back .. DeSmith is sporting a 0.898 SV%

A mini slump could see the Oilers catch them

Oilers have 19 games left in < 37 days, so they might go through some struggles themselves, or need to do load management

 

[BertCorbeau]

A tonne more space with only 7 skaters on the ice, but yes if they pulled the goalie in regulation and won, 2-0 for points distribution.

I think they should revise the rule so that if you do that and win your get 3 points, the loser get 1 … but if you lose you still get 0.

Go full gimmick

I’m not saying it’s going to happen or likely but making up 10 points with 3 games in hand is doable if the Canucks struggle

They also have one head to head matchup left

Strong bounce back game from the Jets tonight.

 

[Evilhomer]

Rempe gets tossed before they give him and MacDermid a chance to go. I'm pretty sure that was the only point to Jersey acquiring MacDermid.

 

[Fogelhund]

Sandin with a offensive blue line give away, leading to a rush chance the other way…

Ovechkin just isn’t a good hockey player anymore. He still has his shot, but just slow and plodding.

Rempe threw an insanely dirty elbow to the face, then taunts the Devils bench (not in this clip)

What an idiot. I wonder if he'll get 5+ games?

Encouraged by DOPS by ignoring his charge against Lyubushkin.

NHL created this, along with idiot fans who ate it up.

Sounds like the Wilds' coach did not know about this rule, otherwise he wouldn't have pulled the goalie in OT...this would be a move with a couple of games left in the season and you need all the points to make the playoffs. He was lucky it worked out, otherwise it would be a total embarrassment.

Well they were 10 points back of Nashville, 7 from Vegas for the final two playoff spots.. Not many games left to start making up that difference so I think the chance was justified against the team they are chasing.

Some goals just stick with you, and this one is near the top for me. Hard to believe it was over 6 years ago...

He was aware, given his post-game scrum. Wild entered the game with <10% chance of making the playoffs, so it was full on "Hanta Yo, Baby!" for them. Now it's in double digits at least lol

Imo it's a very dumb rule to begin with too.

Exactly. This is just as much on DOPS as it is Rempe.

Man the established vets who are fighters are going to really start feeding this kid if he starts doing this shit
