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 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.

I think entertainment wise Devils collapsing enough for Hurricanes Rangers would be best, over Hurricanes-this version of Devils or the annual Hurricane Islanders. Hurricane players must be used to New York and have their favorite accommodation and restaurants.

Looking at the Habs remaining 13 games, there is a path to go 9-4 and finish with 93 points.
- Flyers x 2 (one home one away)
- Bruins at home
- Chicago at home
- Detroit at home
- Nashville away
- Hurricanes at home (last game of the season, Canes probably will have nothing to play for)
- Florida at home (they play them away too, I’ll count that one as a loss)
- One of Ottawa and Toronto (3-0 vs Ottawa so far)
I’ll count the Blues game away as a loss, they’ll lose one of the Florida games, one of Toronto and Ottawa and the Hurricanes away game.
93 points forces the following teams to have the below records to tie the Habs in points:
- Rangers 9-1-1 (they’d have the tiebreaker and would pass the Habs)
- Islanders 10-3 (tiebreaker TBD)
- Columbus 11-2 (tiebreaker TBD)
- Detroit 11-1-1 (tiebreaker TBD)
If the Rangers and or Islanders actually get to these records, they probably pass NJ for a divisional spot anyway.
9-4 would practically get the Habs in.
Interesting last three weeks!

Written by someone who doesn't live in the area
They are living in long island which is a different section of New York. *checks notes* to make like I'm making a point, *checks notes* NEW YORK, brah, NEW YORK!!!
NYI and CBJ a 3 point game is the worst case scenario for the Habs 
Thinking NYI gets in, though.

In most of your posts lately, you talk about Montreal. Why is a team that has finished at the bottom in recent years and that you feel is riding an unrealistic streak taking so much of your headspace ?
For the same reason a random poster on a sports forum is taking up so much of yours

I had no idea who you were before a few moments ago. I thought your post was laughably inaccurate and wondered which Atlantic team you likely cheered for, only to be met by a barrage of posts about Montreal in your posting history. Its a weird obsession, you have a team to cheer for you know?

That has to be the easiest schedule of all the teams in the race. Columbus still plays Ottawa 3 times, those 4 point games are either going to ascend or eliminate someone. Islanders have a tough sled ahead. Rangers don't seem consistent enough. Detroit I don't know if they can climb back from the hole they dug.
Yea, I agree with this, but the Habs still have to win those 'easy' games.

Criminy, it's not like Long Island is a shiat hole. I mean it's not like they're in fricking Staten Island.
Seems like you’re putting a lot more effort trying to figure me out than I have talking about the Habs

He probably doesn’t even know how wealthy Long Island residents are or how rich the owners of the summer homes in the Hamptons are.

I hope the Canadiens make it in.
I'm a Leafs fan, but they're an exciting young team and hockey is always more fun when your buddy's favourite team makes the big show, even if they're a rival.

It's true, but they've given fans little hope that they have such a run in them. We'll see.
Thing about this "race" is nobody is running away with it.

Remaining schedule isn't everything but Ottawa is 8-2-1 in March and has BUF, DET, CBJ, PIT (all non-playoff teams) before April when 8 of their last 9 games are at home. Only 3 of their 13 games left are against teams currently in the playoffs.
They have a 5-6 point cushion, so if they blow this it will be an implosion of epic proportions.
I think MTL gets the final spot and plays Washington

I still think that the last spot will go to the Islanders or the Habs. The other teams would have to get really hot for like 10 games to get in.
Tonight's loss to the Blues was a bad blow for Montreal. If the Islanders win tomorrow... Would suck to lose our spot to a team coached by Patrick.

Can’t believe the rangers are this bad now. Just doesn’t make sense
