What about this one ?

Nobody takes that one seriously

 

[Dotter]

Yes it was, high danger chances of 25-3, DRW weren’t really in the game.

Whiffing on pucks don't count as shots. Which has already been addressed. Wings controlled the o-zone. The opportunity was there; the execution was not. It was also addressed Wings played 4 games in 6 nights. The other team played 2 games since break and were well rested.

That's life. But just pointing out this was a scheduled loss. Not to mention the lucky bounces that was in favor of CBJ.

There season series between these two teams is tied 2-2.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I'm pulling for any two of Detroit, Columbus, or Ottawa. The Bruins and Rangers just don't need to be in the playoff this year.

JVR been tipping pucks for 100 years...all lucky bounces. I love it.

Remember when the wings beat us earlier in the year last minute? Luckiest bounce to a guy out of the box I've ever seen. Shouldn't have even counted as a win tbh.

In the last 63 days the Devils have 1 win against a team currently in a playoff spot.

I personally don’t think that’s a strategy that can be effective in the postseason, but I fully support NJ’s right to try it

Very nice, hoping they tumble down the standings and can get to that 11th overall draft spot (Flames get that pick babyyyy).

Actually amazed that the Habs and the Flyers got back into this race.

Columbus schedule is absolutely brutal in the next 6 games

On paper, but 4 of the next 7 are against the Devils and Rangers and they haven't been lighting things up recently. They can basically knock the Rangers out of contention and they could pass the Devils if they keep winning as they have.

Islanders have 61 points with 59 games played. If Philly is on there so should the Islanders be on there

That's two wins since Dec 13th!

 

[HabsQC]

So Habs beat Buffalo

4 wins in a row and playing vs Buffalo in the next game again.

Apparently they also have the easiest schedule


Also, can you guys stop winning ?

[le_sean]

I’d be excited but beating Buffalo isn’t exactly an accomplishment

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Habs probably not gonna make it, but it's fun to be in a playoffs race anyways

Not the worst feeling, as a fan

Montreal going on a Hamburglar type run to end the season and secure a spot would be the cherry on top of the shit sundae that has been the Boston Bruins 24-25 season.

I miss Habs-Bruins playoffs. That's why we watch hockey.

No no, they’re done now, Habs won both because the Sabres play hockey like drunken pirates. We lose to Sj tomorrow.

Could be a nice bet to make

It'd be great if those games in April against Detroit and Ottawa mattered for the Habs.

Looking at their past pedigree, I'd expect the Rangers to be the team in that pack most likely to make the playoffs at this point.

Boston seems to be in a downfall and they are lacking key players at the worst time in the season. Montreal is on a surge, but unless they can bring their winning streak to 7 or 8 (sweeping that Western Canada trip), I wouldn't put my money on them. Ottawa and Detroit could go either way. These two teams have disappointed in the past seasons when we thought they might be ready to join the playoffs again. Columbus..., well, I said a month ago that I expected the Blue Jackets to get into the playoffs and go on a cinderella run for Gaudreau. They are in a good position to fulfill the first part of my prediction.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Rangers have a decent advantage in RWs over the teams around them, especially Detroit. Have to finish 1 point clear of them at the end of the season.

The first 60 or 70 games are the pace car at Indianapolis 500. Then the "race" starts.
