Around the NHL (Part XVIII) - Tankiest tank to have ever tanked

[Pepe Silvia]

But the Preds were unstoppable, and there was no chance of the Blues or Hawks catching them. ****, the Hawks might not even make the playoffs.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Even if the Hawks make the playoffs, they'll go down in the first round like the losers they are.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Very possible

This team isn't making anyone in West worry

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Definitely. I mean two Stanley Cups, four deep playoff runs, and one of the deepest/most talented/experienced teams in the league.

**** this team

 

[Pepe Silvia]

But Q gonna Q. Smart money is on them not making the playoffs, or getting embarrassed if they even do.

Oshie got destroyed tonight by Phaneuf. Goodness gracious

While Phaneuf's team loses 6-1 and Oshie takes second star of the game.

Phaneuf in a nutshell.

Robidas season over due to shoulder injury. Will require surgery to repair torn labrum + rotator cuff

A season of nagging injuries for Robidas shouldn't be surprise to Leafs. He is oldest dman in NHL I believe

But hey they gave him multi-year deal. Expected to be ready for training camp

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Also Kadri sent home by coach after missing team meeting

“He missed a meeting, so I sent him home,” the coach said. “He showed up, but not when I was doing it.”

When asked if Kadri would play next game

“he’s available, if I want him.”

Leafs are a trainwreck

Um, the Hawks have a better chance at making the playoffs than the Kings. What does that tell you? If you were being sarcastic, my apologies.

The Oilers got up 3-0 on the Canes...and then proceeded to give up 6 unanswered goals.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Even for the Oilers, that's just bad....

 

[Nothingman*]

Wild down 2-0 after 2.

hahahahahahahahaha

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Calgary may have lost in the shootout, but they were able to dig their way out of an 0-4 hole to force OT, so they earned that point.

 

[AmericanDream]

God that Gaudreau goal in the shootout was RIDICULOUS

... odd schedule?

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Two 6:30 starts and three 9:00 starts today.

... odd schedule?

Those 6:30 starts are 7:30 local time in Detroit and Toronto - and that's when non-weekend home games for both teams typically start.

I wouldn't mind if the standings stayed the same when the season ends.

 

[scarchelli]

I wouldn't mind $100k, but I'd prefer a $mil.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yeah what he said.

 

[DPHawk]

I wouldn't mind $100k, but I'd prefer a $mil.

Any scenario where the Kings don't make it in is a dream. Any other preferential matchups after that is gravy.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

On one hand, I'd like to see the Kings miss the playoffs. On the other hand, you just know that their luck would mean that they'd land McDavid in the lottery if they missed, no matter how low the odds may be.

Regardless, I'm just hoping that the Flames find a way to hold on.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

I'd like to pass STL and capture home ice. Last change will become even more crucial assuming Kaner isn't back yet. Luckily there are still 2 games remaining with them that will be crucial points.
