First Tie breaker is RW, which NYR leads handily by like 5 over the other clubs in that race, Unless they only win games in extra time for the rest of the season every other club will need to get 1 more point than them.
Sure I get that but the NYR only play the NYI one more time and zero other teams they are chasing so they lack the 2 birds with one stone technique.

It's just such a lackluster "competition" right now and for the last couple of weeks as no team is deserving.

At least the Blues have stepped up in the west.

Canucks are behind in RW to Stl and Min.
Canucks are done 6 points is too much to make up.

Minny loses to keep us alive. Next up we gotta beat Winnipeg. Minny has a very interesting schedule to finish the season plus we play them.

I still believe.

Given the insane heater that St. Louis is on, Minnesota (hell, maybe even Edmonton) seem like the more realistic targets to catch.

…watch them both go on winning streaks now that I’ve said that.

If Minny does have a bad stretch to end the season - say, 6 points in 8 games - we still need to get 13 points in 9 games. Something like 6-2-1 is a tall order and it'll only be good enough if the Wild are bad enough.

15-2-2 from STL since the break. Just wild.

Have to be cheering for the Flames tonight now. I don’t think it’s a better chance that we catch Edmonton, but the more teams in the mix. Math is f***ed. Obviously they’re not all going to hit 100 points, but yeah, even 7-2 for us if it miraculously happens.. probably not enough

Am I the only one who wants Edmonton to lose, I seriously think we can catch them.

Update: not after that comeback

Honestly, whoever draws the Blues in the first round is in tough. Imagine winning the West and facing the hottest team in the league. Oof.

This Blues heater is wild. Good on them, but sad that the playoff beard is likely going to have wait another year. Holding out hope they can catch Minny, but not optimistic.

Last year was sick for growing it out for the first time since the 2011 run, and given during one I was a teenager and the other in my 30s, comparing the pictures side by side were hilarious.

Yeah, it's not happening. You never see teams this far back and having to rely so heavily on other teams failing in order to make it in. The Canucks playoff hopes were dashed, finally ruined, when they lost to the Rangers.

Going further back, coming into the season with that defence.
 
Up late doing work
The radio is on and an Edmonton fan went on a rant to end all rants

I had no idea Holloway is the on the verge of putting up maybe 70 points potentially by seasons end

This rant had me dying of laughter
“How the FRANK do you not match that offer sheet then give more money to Jeff franking skinner who is one of the biggest losers in the history of hockey with less playoff experience than Holloway yet is 11 years older”

“So we get older, softer, smaller, and slower??”

“Broberg I get not matching, that is rich for his sample size, but Holloway at his AAV, the GM should be arrested for not matching, all he had to do was check the box saying “we match” and he was too damn stupid to even do that, so we gave away a player that we developed patiently yet he barely makes more than he did on an ELC at $2.3 million"



😂🤣😂🤣😂

Yeah, the fumbling of Holloway and Broberg is kind of amazing to have watched unfold and continue to unfold. Holloway has been an absolute beast for St. Louis on their run to the playoffs.

He's exactly right. The Broberg one has worked out for St. Louis but it was a really high AAV based on anything Broberg had shown so far and you could understand not matching.

But the Holloway one was small potatoes to match and should have just been a no-brainer based on his age and skillset and play in the 2024 playoffs.
