Eastern Conference Wild Card Watch

[JKG33]

Yes Ullmark is the best out of the three. But Forsberg is also the worst out of the three. When you look at the tandem speaking, Talbot and Lyon's goals saved above expected per 60 is better than Ullmark and Forsberg.

You're not winning every game regardless. I'd much rather start Ullmark 80% of the remaining games and take those odds.

And come playoff time.. it's like that saying about QBs... if you think you have two starters you really have none.

NJ is not far enough ahead.

Habs and Bruins in the playoffs is what Hockey is all about. Those series ALWAYS boil over.

Are they going to have a special exhibition for this as Boston is slowly slipping out of a spot and a loss against the canes tonight might seal their fate.

Right now Bruins are 3 points out and teams have 2 games in hand and there are 3 teams they are chasing as well.

Habs are sitting better but are still outside looking in after a 5 game win streak and they will have a valley to their recent peak so......

Teams just need to keep winning and some will start to lag behind even with a single loss like if Detroit and Columbus win tonight and the Habs and Bruins lose the hill just gets stepper with less games to do it in.

Bettman math is usually a suckers game.

NJ is not far enough ahead.

They are actually with 5 points up and RW win advantage over most teams barring a complete collapse.

Will they go like 9-8-2 or 10-7-2 without Hughes? Not sure.

And if Detroit and Columbus both lose and the Habs win the hill will have been taken over. No matter what team squeaks in i don't see them going past the 1st rd.

Sure the bigger hill is for Boston though, they are in must win territory

I tend to agree with that but every year there seems to be an upset or 2 so who knows.

Well that is unless one of them faces the Leafs. Than all bets are off.

Detroit is out of the race

Every year in March they absolutely collapse

Loser mentality is everywhere in this organization

Well nobody really wants it. I guess the Islanders can have it.

Edit - Oops just saw trade.

Red Wings fighting hard for the middle of the pack draft pick again. So depressing, it's a constant yearly cycle.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

The Devils aren't making it. Someone will get their spot, I assume NYR gets Metro 3 and CBJ/OTT make it.

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Not Detroit

Rangers vs Senators in OT

well with them squandering a 2-0 dominating lead last night and watching the Sens beat NYR in a 3 point game they have to be down in Detroit,
