Anybody who remembers what happened at the end of the 05-06 Rangers season and the 2007 Mets season knows that those percentages mean nothing.

Do you remember we had a 9 point lead with 5 to play over the Devils?

Hockey Reference makes it a chore to view standings on certain dates. I've done it before now I can't figure out how.

Silliness. That's like saying anyone who won the lottery knows those odds mean nothing. You're using one exception to the rule as an example to say that percentages mean nothing.

I just don't see the point in them.

We lose 2 games, get some bad luck on the scoreboard and everything can be changed. Poof. It can happen fast.
 
Oil Change: The Story Of Perserverance followed by the Teeter Hang ups commercial.

Lots of laughs on the NHL network this afternoon. :laugh:
 
New York state has a 8.82% state tax rate for income over $1,026,251

$6M salary. $529,200 in NY State taxes

6 years. That's $3,175,200.

No state income tax in Florida

That same $6M is worth more in Florida.

TB is in Buffalo tonight. Buffalo would need to offer $6.5M per to match $6M from TB. Callahan wanted $6.5M from the Rangers. $6M in Florida is the same money. Buffalo could front load the contract but will they really do that considering that's a major rebuild?

Tampa Bay would like to add Callahan as a long-term member of its hockey family, as well. A pending unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, Callahan said the Lightning have been great in just allowing him to get familiar with his new surroundings and acclimated into the locker room without the pressure of dealing with contract negotiations.

But so far Callahan has been comfortable with everything since being acquired from the New York Rangers on March 5.

“I’m really happy to be in Tampa and I couldn’t have landed in a better spot,’’ he said.

In 11 games with Tampa Bay heading into Saturday against Buffalo, Callahan has four goals, eight points and was a plus-3. On top of the points, Callahan also brings intangibles to the table that don’t often show up on the scoresheet and plays a gritty style of game.

“He fit in right away with us,’’ Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. “You want that in a player, there wasn’t a situation where you had to find chemistry on a line with Ryan. You plug him on a line and the chemistry just exists, so he’s been a good fit right from the get-go.’’

Safe to say that Maple Leaf Nation will complete its meltdown if the Leafs lose tonight to Detroit?

I'm excited to watch that game....
 
OMG Leafs. So lol. Can they make it 8 in a row, ALL in regulation?! That is just too epic. To think they had beaten LA on the road before this descent into madness.
 
If I were a Leafs fan I'd leave now. What the hell is Helm standing all alone for!? The defenseman was doing literally nothing.
 
I actually kinda like the Leafs but watching their downfall is just fascinating in a morbid sense. :laugh:
