Unless Carolina actually clinches the division a bunch of games before the season is over there most likely won't be too many games that are meaningless.
I still want the division and the possibility of home ice for 2 rounds.

Blackwood hasn’t played much this season. He’s had 16 starts and 17 GP. He hasn’t played since February 19th and he has 7 GP (out of 34 games) in 2023.
I don’t see the team not getting him games before the playoffs if he’s healthy. He less useful without them, both VV and Schmid would have to be injured before you put in a goalie who hasn’t played a real game in months.
I also doubt Blackwood is particularly willing to sit on the sidelines and pretend he’s injured considering how little he’s played.
An AHL conditioning off the regular IR can be up to 14 days long, he can work out his shit down there.

I practically live off caffeine between my addiction to Monster (the Juice varieties mostly) and Mountain Dew. I honestly wish I liked coffee and tea more because they're better for me than all the chemicals I consume.
Starbucks coffee- some half and half and cinnamon. That’s all I need. Yes, I’m a Starbucks snob…haha….not a fan of iced coffee at all!! Did you hear that Hamilton and Rango?!
Aside: Dunkin Donuts coffee is “great” if you like water.

That's basically where I'm at.I practically live off caffeine between my addiction to Monster (the Juice varieties mostly) and Mountain Dew. I honestly wish I liked coffee and tea more because they're better for me than all the chemicals I consume.
I drink my fair share of caffeine (apparently still not enough to feel awake when I'm not moving around) but it's in the form of those fruity, juicy carbonated drinks and diet soda. I'd probably be better off with coffee, as it's cheaper.
And spare me the ''Diet soda is bad for you!'' spiel. I drink it because it's got zero calories.
I'm not about health as much as I'm about maintaining my weight and I'd rather eat 500 more calories in food than drink 3 cans of 150-160 calorie soda.
A lot of the diet energy drinks suck though That green can of ultra zero monster and the white one is pretty good though. They have like 10 calories per 16 oz can. They used to have 0 per 16 oz can or at least they were advertised as such haha.
Not to take this too far into TAN territory but I hear you about the zero calories part. About a year or so pre-pandemic I quit regular soda and energy drinks and was down to either just a 16oz can or 20oz bottle of diet soda per day. I lost like 10 pounds probably just because of that. I've fallen off the wagon since between some personal stuff and the general insanity in this country over the last few years (I'm a stress eater). I think that might be why I'm enjoying this season so much and not worrying about bad games here or there.
I'm a computer programmer, the definition of which is "a device that converts caffeine into code".

I hear ya on that. In the second half of 2020 through about October of 2021 I fell off the wagon of my diet and maintaining my weight. I started drinking anything (other than alcohol) eating anything. I drugged myself with food and gained I think like 70 pounds over about 1.5 years. I’d bet the last 50 were in about 8 months. Mostly over the very slow and painful end to a relationship with someone I really loved, but she turned out to be no good, on top of substance abuse issues. I’ve been over that extensively on here. It even led to some people reaching out and sending me messages, as they noticed I wasn’t very active during the 2021 off-season.
I was able to lose all 70 of those pounds between October of 2021 and probably the end of last summer.
So now I’m back to normal somewhat. I still have my issues, but I’m at least back to life now.
Yeah, eating is my drug. Fortunately my only one. I still allow myself a massive cheat day where I pollute my body with so much terrible food haha.

Looks like me when I was in my 20’s.
Just give him some brown eyes and quite a bit darker hair.
Very fitting while I’m on topic of food as a drug haha.
I wish my face was that full now lol.

Well holy sh*t! 
Looks like the only path for the Division is STILL AVAILABLE.
We needed the Rags to beat the Canes in Regulation tonight....and they did just that.
Now we need to sweep the Weekend like @Emperoreddy stated.
The door has been left open, Devils fans.
It's up to the Devils to walk through it and take advantage.
LET'S F'N GOO DEVILS!!!!

We went to a fancy Italian place for my wife’s birthday tonight. It was amazing. I had tagliatelle with various mushrooms in truffle sauce and a dessert of coconut sorbet. At my age I have no business eating like that. To make it worse I ate half of my wife’s roast chicken and whatever apple tartlet she got. I probably gained three pounds tonight and it will take me a week to lose it . I will have to ride a bit extra this weekend.
Happy Birthday to Mrs. 3C
I know I joke about her being a tough divorce attorney but she is truly amazing and I hope everyone finds someone they truly connect with and love. Thanks for the kind words.
Thats why she is Mrs. 3C! Aka Mrs. 1C.
