Around the NHL: Part XLIX (Playoff Edition)

[Kershaw]

Imagine if we got the sedins instead of Gabby and Prospal in 2009 FA lol.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

So... We need to win....

So... We need to win....

Just like always.

Was thinking about it today. IF the Rangers manage to make the playoffs, it doesn't matter who they play in round 1. EVENTUALLY you have to go through the Penguins.

 

[Kershaw]

The funny thing with the Matteau incident is that if he was a Ranger prospect, he'd get labelled as a bust.

I could maybe see a healthy Sens team giving them a run for their money

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Funny enough, I would love to see an Isles-Pens round 1. I'd actually be rooting for the Fishsticks.

I'd 100% root for the Isles there. I hate the Penguins with a passion and would love for them to lose to the Isles.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Rangers are officially in 7th. possible 6th tomorrow?

I'm hoping the Islanders somehow end up in 8th. Huge upset alert. Bad blood between the teams too.

Doubtful. Islanders probably win 6-2. They have a lethal offense and Carolina has no goaltender.

edit: best chance to make up points on them is against the Flyers. that doesn't say much...

We would have never seen the Sedins play the way they do now. MSG is where Free Agent Splashes go to waste.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Tortorella would have the Sedins grading behind the net and blocking shots before you know it.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Grinding* behind the net.

 

[BBKers]

The force field around the NYRs opponents crease would stop the Sedins were they to occasionally make it out of the grind behind the net - no?

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Not only would the force field stop them, they would be turned into 6-7th defenders to replace Stu Bickel's intangibles. Tortorella would have the, blocking shots all game, and foolishly chipping the puck along the boards and dumping the puck in any chance they get. I'd rather the Sedins stay where they are and enjoy the beautiful game of Hockey than have them come here and turn into 65 point grinders.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

The Sedins don't have enough jam for Torts. They'd be benched on the PP and replaced by Boyle .

 

[The Gloaming]

Sedins are actually one of the best at behind-the-net play. Torts just wouldn't like that they then get the puck to the slot. That's frowned upon in this area.

I know everyone is rooting against Winnipeg so we guarantee ourselves a spot, but not me. I really want to see Peg win that division and have Washington miss out completely. That's my ideal scenario. And then have us match up against them, maybe.

How about WSH beats WPG tonight, we win tonight, clinch, then WSH doesn't win another game this season and WPG doesn't lose. everybody happy

If the Caps win in regulation, the Jets can't catch them anymore.

 

[Thunderhead]

He has food poisoning.

All the junk food he's forced to eat.

 

[Thunderhead]

I really want the Sens to miss the playoff , but it will not happen. Jets are done, imo.

 

[Boruto]

It may take until as late as Sunday until we can clinch: Senators.

Also, the Rangers clinching =/ Jets being eliminated. Realized this myself.

 

[Jabroni]

I REALLY hope we don't have to match up against Washington again...
