Around the NHL: PTO Season Becomes Waiver Season

[Sabreality]

Disagree, they’ve gone ice cold plenty this year. Better to try to get two wild card spots in play.

and the Isles are a mess, dont care that they got Horvat, many of their fans want Lamberts head on a stick, they arent a good team. let em steal 2 tonight ty

Yea, the Islanders stink. They are not a threat (just watch this game to see, lol).

Natives are restless and I can't blame them. This is horrible, got the tix for free and still overpaid.

Getting run in a must-have game isn't a good look. Shots are 29-9 for the Pens now.

As long as they have that goalie, they are going to be a threat. I don't suspect Lou is done trading, either.

Better for the Pens to win tonight so that we have a greater chance at the last spot instead of a good shot at last spot and minimal chance at 7th anyway?

 

[DapperCam]

Islanders are hanging around somehow even though they are being outplayed

 

[NotABadPeriod]

At this point I don't care who wins, as long as they do it in regulation.

Same. Seems like we might wind up disappointed though as it's now tied at 4.

If the islanders and penguins go into OT I'm gonna flip out..

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Ehh, it's not like the Penguins have collected that many loser points this year, right?

 

[DapperCam]

Okay…somebody score…

Feels like they are both playing to get to OT.

 

[Chainshot]

Parise scores. Somewhere Matt is smiling about that one.

Islander goal with 2:40 left

 

[Chainshot]

Super slowmo shows it was Rust into his own net?

 

[DapperCam]

Islanders interference is kind of funny when your team isn’t the victim of it. Just straight up checking players who never had the puck.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

No loser point for Pittsburgh tonight!

 

[Dirty Dog]

Thank god no OT

 

[Chainshot]

Pat Kane trying to audition tonight? Scored his second to tie it late against the Sens 3-3.

 

[DapperCam]

Now Pens lose to NJ tomorrow night and they will be within striking distance. NYI, PIT, WSH and DET all have tough matchups tomorrow. BUF and FLA have easier matchups. Could be in the second wild card by point % after tomorrow night and just behind the Pens for the first wild card spot (3 points back with a game in hand).

 

[Chainshot]

Tkachuk just had an amazing check on Dickinson in that Sen-Hawk game. Sens fumble away a 2-goal lead in the third to the tanktastic Hawks, would be good for the Sabres if the Sens lose tonight.

 

[Chainshot]

Sens only get one point, Hawks manage to claw back to win.
