Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

No, I'm afraid you don't understand. Detroit already had a point playing in OT, which eliminated Philly, when Torts pulled his goalie in a tied game.

Didn't mean Philly would've just stopped playing. They went for the regulation win, like they should have. Was Torts going to tell his team to pack it in?

 

[ohbaby]

He had to pull the goalie because they needed a regulation win. The only argument is if he pulled him too early.

Did you guys not watch the games? Philly was eliminated a good 4 or 5 minutes before Torts pulled the goalie. He gave away a chance to be spoiler, in winning the game in OT and denying the Caps a playoff berth.

I'm assuming he wasn't aware of that at the time.

Michelle vs Alexa

[DialUp]

I thought it was a shorter window than that but whatever. We should win the first round if either Detroit or Washington is the opponent.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Feel so badly for Wings and their fans. Horrible way to finish things.

The Wings have had much more success than we have. My heart bleeds.

 

[Boris Zubov]

So we get

Canes-Isles
Boston Toronto
Florida-Tampa
Rangers-Caps

The league's wet dream.

This is very unlike you with this stupid reply. No, what it meant was, they had a chance to win it in OT. The only reason for Torts to pull a goalie in a tied game, is if they still has a shot to make the playoffs, which they didn't. So they should have played the rest of the game, like any other game, and that is to win it,... in OT if necessary.

I would not be surprised if torts wanted 0 info from the other game.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I doubt Torts knew. He's a lot of things but f***ing other teams out of a spot isn't who he is.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone upstairs just wanted to f*** Pittsburgh out of a spot though lol. Sucks for the Wings but f*** the Pens.

 

[ohbaby]

Detroit is eliminated because Bonehead Torts gave the Caps an empty netter to make the playoffs.

 

[n8]

Flyers clinch if they beat Washington in regulation and everyone else loses. It's crazy, I had to go down the list but with that RW those two teams time on RW, ROW, W, and even games won against each other. This game will be the tie breaker for that tie breaker. If the game is tied late in regulation, you could see the Flyers pull their goalie.

oh dang! it happened! Does this mean we are going to see a Rempe vs McIlrath matchup?

 

[ohbaby]

I'm assuming he wasn't aware of that at the time.

Well it was a dumbass move on his part for not knowing. Giving away a win for no reason whatsoever, other than his complete incompetence to understand the situation at hand.

This will make headlines tomorrow.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

The Wings have had much more success than we have. My heart bleeds.

 

[17futurecap]

The wings scored, and I immediately went to the Philly game and the goalie was already pulled, it wasn’t 4-5 minutes after the Wings tied it.

 

[DialUp]

LOL what?

 

[Tob]

hope the pens get as dirty as physically possible without killing someone tomorrow. Malkin's time to shine

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I remember the prepare to lack an ass comment now hahahahaha.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Charlie won't be inviting Ryan over for a dinner of salmon

I bet he intentionally undercooks it this time !!!

 

[ohbaby]

This makes no sense either. What happened in the other game, dictated how they should approach this game. They through away a chance to win the game outright, due to incompetence.

And why are people still talking about the Pens. The Caps are in,.... thanks to Torts bonehead play. And it was a good 3, 4 or 5 minutes. All they had to do, is have someone watching the game in the booth, and tell Torts the minute Detroit scored with 3 seconds remaining.

 

[Svenhart2008]

I’m pretty sure it had to be a regulation win, no matter what. Wsh held RW tie breaker. Playing for OT had no meaning.

They were eliminated regardless. They knew they were on the outside looking in and needed a miracle. They didn't get it.

Alexa in a landslide. She's stunning.

I've never seen anyone wear an evening dress for a sports broadcast, by she did it tonight

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Unbelievable that not a single matchup is set in the West. Every game over next two nites is meaningful.

Not to get ahead of it in the East, but one could think it will be a Florida-Rangers divisional final, eh?
