It used to be better when Philly and Buffalo were good too. It ain’t a popular opinion around here, but I would much rather those three teams or Chicago over Win, Ed, Van.

This race is everything we hoped it would be. Great games to watch down the stretch. Wings or Caps making it in over the Pennsylvania teams is icing on the cake to a great season. Been a fun one.

Man, Buffalo could use Babcock without the baggage. I actually credit him a lot for turning this team around. Matthews helped, yes, but it’s not a guarantee. Buffalo had Eichel, so what? They still couldn’t make the playoffs. Too bad he is a psycho, or a sociopath, because he is EXACTLY what they need.

I could see Buffalo calling for Boucher in the off-season. I could also see Berube having decent success there with the kind of squad they have.
The other possibility is that Keefe could find himself on the shelf if the Leafs flame out early, which would be very weird if it happened.

As his career is winding down, Crosby in the playoffs would only be a good thing. We should see one of the all-time greats get a chance to shine in the "second season" once more. That being said, I definitely hope Pittsburgh misses. Will also make for an interesting conversation this summer, wondering if Crosby will stick around as the team starts its quick descent, or he asks for a trade to end out his career.
I'm rooting for the Red Wings to make it. Young, fun and exciting team. Would love to see the winged wheel and its fans back in the playoffs.

What's funny is the hoopla for McDavid's 100 assist season.
Unless shutout the next 1 game Kucherov will join him.
I agree it is special, and perhaps Kucherov doesn't get it, but if he does he's one of the greatest all time players?
Maybe Kucherov is underrated?

Considering only 99, 66 and 4 had done it, I'd say the hoopla is warranted. Kutcherov is 100% underrated.
It's ridiculous people use the empty net points against him.
Take a look at the list for all time empty net points.
Gretzky
Lemieux
Crosby
Ovechkin
All near the top

It definitely factors in. We should also consider goals and assists scored in regular season OT which were not available for some of the greats. Imagine going into OT against Gretzky, Kurri and Coffey or Mario, Jagr and Murphy.

I hope the Sabres hire Berube so Tre doesn't. 
Sabres needed a fun time coach so the players wouldn't revolt. Now that they're locked in, adams can move on to a tough ass.

Kucherov is a world class piece of shit
Definitely hoping the Pens get the last spot in the East.

Sens were supposed to roll over. Looks like Bruins and Florida doing their best to get the Leafs in round 1.
