We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

While I don't see Islanders overtaking Ottawa unless Ottawa has a complete collaspe. I would love to see Islanders-Leafs first round. Put an exclamation point on Tavares career as a Leaf
Every team has a bad stretch here and there. Islanders lost 3 in a row and I wasn't paying much attention to the standings. Next thing they are 2 points out of a spot.

rags are going to flip that switch. Too much talent. Laf will lead the way
The Isles have been doing this for the last 6-7 years. They lie low. Everyone forgets that they exist. By seasons end, they’re right there in the playoff hunt. Often jumping into a spot at the end.
Laf signed his big contract already. That’s just about all he wanted from the NHL.
Islanders schedule is brutal after the next few games unless those teams have nothing to play for, they still play the Florida teams multiple times, Caps multiple times, Canes, Devils. Only thing going for them is a home heavy schedule
Yup. So, if they make it, they’ll deserve it.

Won’t matter when JT Messier puts the team on his back and leads them to the promised land

I could see a world where the Sens keep losing and the Isles and Habs streak to grab the Wildcard spots.

It amazes me how the Isles hang around. They are so mid. Credit to them.

Jackets have 1 goal in the last 4 games... No wait I don't think you understood me, not one goal in each of the last 4 games, but one goal in the last 4 games.
If they don't turn it around tonight, it may be the beginning of the end for the playoffs this season.

It’s even crazier when you see they have the worst PP in the league, the 30th ranked PK, and they have had so many injuries all year, and traded Nelson. Sorokin doesn’t have amazing stats, but he has been fantastic. I think Roy has been an excellent coach for this team.

The cushion is only 3pts on Montreal and they have a matchup in april. So not as comfortable as it seems. IMO, there's a big gap between the top 6 teams and the wildcards. When everyone's healthy of course.

Yeah, I knew about their special teams too . Sorokin is great, no doubt

Have teams finally figured out how to neutralize the Jackets offense? I don't think the Jackets scoring well above their expected goals for was due to luck, but I think a mixture of a strong system, injuries actually bringing up players that teams didn't scout for, and naturally quite a few players being talented made the Jackets score far more than people would expect earlier on.
I think the clock has struck 12 and the Cinderella story of a season for the Jackets is over.

Born and raised in center of the universe until the turn of the century. Was lucky our family were Leaf season ticket holders. As much as I loved Toronto and most sports teams, Yyzerman and then Lidstron were my favourite players, add the 80's Tigers and Pistons. I gravitated towards Detroit. Hating Montreal and then Ottawa was part of the deal in Toronto. The 80's Leafs were hard on us all.
