Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

[LucianoBorsato]

Still like their chances a heck of a lot more than the Jets.

Avalanche will find a way to outscore their goaltending inconsistencies all the way to winning the Stanley Cup.

That goes without saying they have a better chance the Jets. But I don't see them getting past a team like Dallas, if they give up big leads early in a game.

 

[ps241]

That's not my point. I know Maurice would never say that.

I just don't think it's funny

It’s not remotely funny.

 

[bustamente]

Bruins lead the preds 2-0 late in the third

 

[gojetsgo]

nashville loses to boston so 7 points up(tie breaker) with 7 to go

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Predators now lose 3 in a row since that insane run they were on ended.

Canucks are also stumbling into the playoffs, losing 4-1 to Vegas. Their last win against a playoff team was Winnipeg almost a month ago. Of course this also coincides with Demko being injured.

And Maurice's Panthers have lost 8 of 10

 

[tbcwpg]

I'd say a matchup with Colorado in round 1 looks likely and the next 7 games will just be deciding home ice.

Sportsclubstats has it at 74%, the highest likelihood of any 1st round matchup in the league

68% chance they finish 2nd and 74% chance that we finish 3rd but of course those numbers can take wild swings at this time of year on a night where we win and they lose. We're only 4 points back

Yeah, the only playoff bound team that has been worse than the Jets in the last 10. A bad time to play like suck.

I still think that this could be Maurice's and the Panthers' year. Last year's somewhat lucky run (Bob) gave them a lot of important playoff experience. If goaltending doesn't shit the bed in one of their series, they have a good chance.

East should win it this year. Far easier conference.

These other contenders stumbling makes me feel much better

I don't cheer for any team other than the Jets, but I am hoping they make it to the final.

The NHL is a grind and everyone will have their ebbs and flows. The team that times their hot/lucky streak in May June usually comes out on top.

When it looked like Nashville was going to reel us in because of a combination of them not losing and us not winning I mentioned that the clock will strike midnight at some point for them and it has.

Maybe this is the season the Jets get hot again at the right time. Lord knows we are in a incredibly competitive group in the Central and any one of the teams will need good fortune.

Trouble is that Bob is looking very mortal heading into the playoffs.... and Vas is finally hitting stride - I don't see any easy playoff series in the East this year...

 

[PaulPooley]

Watching Leafs and Lightning and the Tampa powerplay looks brutal enough to make Brad Lauer blush.

 

[bustamente]

Simpson and CC knob polishing again tonight, Keefe sends out the 4th line against the Bolts top line and they are gushing about what a great move that is, bang it's in the net and they back track

 

[Mud Turtle]

Laine put his Columbus condo up for sale today. Hmmm…

 

[PaulPooley]

Laine put his Columbus condo up for sale today. Hmmm…

Possible he’s done with the NHL or even hockey altogether.
“I could have told you Patrik, this NHL world was not made for one as beautiful as you..”
Apologies to Don McLean.

 

[ERYX]

He really does look like a failed Bond villain.

Looks like a Harkonnen to me.

 

[robertocarlos]

Laine put his Columbus condo up for sale today. Hmmm…

He's got the papers from his doctor. He's retiring and booking it back to Finland.

 

[Duke749]

F*** Ryan Hartman. And f*** Ryan Suter for no particular reason.

I don’t hate Ryan Suter, but man he really rides that line with his stick work.

 

[kanadalainen]

Rempe may be a player who finishes his career with hella brain damage.

 

[bustamente]

Rempe may be a player who finishes his career with hella brain damage.

His 15 are almost up he's really not a very good fighter and hockey skill is not much better.

 

[Moloch]

As it stands, it's looking like DAL Vs LAK first round would be possible, so even if we beat Colorado isn't there a chance we would play Dallas in the second round?

 

[Buffdog]

Rempe may be a player who finishes his career with hella brain damage.

I'm yet to see him win a fight

Or even not lose one

 

[Jets 31]

Dallas sure made Edmonton look like crap last night, Dallas is going to be a tough team to beat this playoffs .
