Around the NHL: Part XLIX (Playoff Edition)

[Hire Sather]

Sabres and Isles both going through the motions.

Isles turn it on in the 3rd and win 3-1, probably.

I don't understand rooting for CBJ. They wil be our divison RIVALS next year. 4 teams make it. Isles are improved. You really want CBJ to ride the positive vibes of a playoff birth into next year?

We can't afford this ******** division we're gunna be in to be even better.

I love the former Rangers, but their future success now hurts the Rangers.

I like a lot of their players. Next year doesn't really matter to me yet. I will learn to hate them in time. For now, I am rooting for the Blue Jackets

Why are you rooting for them to miss the playoffs? Do you want them to have a shot in the draft lottery for the #1 pick the year before they come into our division?

Crosby is far and away the best player in the NHL.

Going to have to agree to disagree then. I never thought he was better than Ovechkin outside of those strange slump seasons.

You're crazy, TBH.

Crosby is far and away the best player in the NHL.

Really?

 

[*Bob Richards*]

You're crazy, TBH.

Sorry. I never thought he out performed Ovechkin outside of one season. Also, health is a pretty big factor and Crosby just can't stay on the ice.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Really?

I'm with Kershaw on this. Guy was putting up 2 points per game prior to his concussion, and he was just passed in the scoring race after missing 11 games.

 

[silverfish]

Crosby can go **** himself, but he is the best player in the NHL today.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I like watching other teams play because offense and stuff

lol, fair... fair.

Just the idea of them starting to build success doesn't make me feel much better about our chances in this new format.

 

[Kreider Typical]

looks promising for the jackets. bobby deserves that veszina... at least a playoff performance

Well, there is certainly no doubt that the Rangers got shafted in the new re-alignment. I never thought the "Atlantic" could get any better, but here we are.

Just have to hope for continued struggles from the Flyers and Devils, but I'm not so optimistic about that either.

 

[Kreider Typical]

who cares who's better between ovi and crosby? sather will sign them both for 100m a piece when they're in their 40s

His trade reminds me of the Kiprusoff one. At first everyone's like lolwut, then they're like oh wait...

 

[blue2noise]

Just to be clear, a loss by the Isles to the Sabres guarantees and Isles / Pens 1st round?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Just to be clear, a loss by the Isles to the Sabres guarantees and Isles / Pens 1st round?

A regulation loss, yes.

And they tie it.

Yessir.

 

[LetterJ]

Just to be clear, a loss by the Isles to the Sabres guarantees and Isles / Pens 1st round?

Yes.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Miller you idiot

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

And Aucoin makes it 1-1

 

[Boruto]

LOLL Miller

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

If the Islanders win, please be in a shootout.

This made me lol. It's true.

 

[Hire Sather]

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Isles go to OT
