Eastern Conference Wild Card Watch

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Au revoir, Habs. Hate to say it but I told you so, Habs fans. Team is junk and their luck was going to run out eventually.

Far from au revoir. Still very much in this race. Super exciting race to the playoffs in the East, so many teams still in it.

This WC2 race is hilariously bad

lol, what is exciting about a group of 5 teams that have have records of, like, 3-7 in their previous 10 games.

It’s battle of the shit

 

[BallardEra]

Pressure turned up and the Habs are folding.

Surprise surprise

Jackets pass the Habs for WC2

Jackets pass the Habs for WC2

I believe Montreal still holds tie breaker over them(most regulation wins)

ETA: I was mistaken, Montreal played 1 more game. I thought they both played the same amount

 

[Romang67]

It just takes one good run for any of the teams fighting for that last spot. That or hoping Ottawa completely collapses

I'm not convinced any of the other teams break 80 points this season, so the Sens might be safe even if they completely collapse.

''hate to say it'' lol

Anywai you underestimate how bad every team in the race has been but you're doing a victory lap with 10 games left to go, if cringe could kill I'd get vaporized rn

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

The Jackets are 3-6-1 in the last 10 to rip the WC2 position away from the other 4 teams who so desperately want the post season.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

The Jackets hidden ace in the hole may be the recent return of Monahan and Jenner. The faceoff wins alone between these two can win a tight game.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The Rangers are 1-4-1 now in the last six and get only one point in Anaheim.

This is an untimely swoon but ‘junk’ seems kinda harsh. You don’t think they have a bright future?

 

[jcs0218]

All of these teams competing for the 2nd wildcard in the Eastern Conference are pathetic.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

The Jackets hidden ace in the hole may be the recent return of Monahan and Jenner. The faceoff wins alone between these two can win a tight game.

The Jackets were 67% today

Fantilli 9-6
Sillinger 5-1

Monahan, a ridiculous 20-4

 

[voyageur]

87 points is probably enough in this race.

Nice to see Columbus still fighting.

I think the home ice for 6 games in Montreal in April probably gives them a boost.

NY Isles next 3 games against Tampa and Carolina will be a challenge for an undermanned team.

Detroit needs a miracle with their schedule.

 

[ViD]

Sens still have 3 games against Columbus and 1 against Montreal

Let’s split all our games with 3 overtime games

You can have 5 points, we will take 4.

 

[chaser17]

Turned the rangers game off after the 2nd, my jaw hit the floor when I saw the final score lmao.

 

[Schennanigans]

This race is hilarious. Everyone in contention shitting the bed completely.

Whoever gets W2 gonna get their azz whooped by the Caps

Didn't realize how abysmal the East Wild Card race is compared to the West. The Blues who are currently 8th in the West would be 11 points above the 9th team in the East. They would also be 3rd in the Metro. Right now the teams battling for the final spot in the East are all playing horrible hockey.

Montreal has 75 points in 71 games and in their last 10 they are 3-3-4
Islanders have 74 points in 71 games and in their last 10 they are 4-3-3
Rangers have 74 points in 72 games and in their last 10 they are 3-6-1
Columbus has 73 points in 70 games and in their last 10 they are 2-7-1
Detroit has 72 points in 72 games and in their last 10 they are 3-7-0

There are 5 teams that could have easily gotten ahold of the final spot within the last couple weeks and not a single one has stepped up to the plate. If any of St. Louis, Calgary, or Vancouver were in the East they would be in the playoffs. Even Utah would be tied for the last spot with one more game played.

Having terrible teams in the West helps make those teams look better.

A team in the west having 5-10 more points doesn't mean much when the 3 worst teams in the league are in the west.

You can't just look at points without looking at those factors...who has more easy points against bottom feeders? The west.

So take their point totals with a grain of salt.

Exactly and as an Islanders fan who is concerned about our prospect pool and our GM I ask what’s the point? It’s the same shit every year sneak in and out after 5 games. Only this season Lou didn’t trade a first but he still bundled the deadline.

I think it’s down to the Habs and CBJ, but yeah I doubt they get to 90 points.

 

[mm11]

Isles are gonna surprise next 3 games.
