Eastern Conference Wild Card Watch

It’s so over. Both races were getting so interesting too.

A Detroit win vs Montreal would make things a bit interesting

 

[JustAHabFan]

The Habs need to beat the Red Wings tomorrow to be sure of making the playoffs.

It’s so over. Both races were getting so interesting too.

I wouldn't say it's over, but it feels the Habs have a 3-1 series lead right now. The red wings need this game tonight (and they probably need it in regulation) or else I think the race is virtually over.

Funny to look back now. I think in January, there was a time when 6 teams were separated by something like 1 point, and it seemed we were destined for a photo finish.

I feel like there Habs just got a lot scarier if they can hold their spot.

Not feeling it with -20 goal differential, and 25th in goals against.

Not feeling it with -20 goal differential, and 25th in goals against.

I was referring to Demidov joining the team...

Also the negative goal differential was largely caused by the horrible start the Habs had. They lost a ton of games by big margins.

Part of me wants Detroit to sneak in for the yzerplan to finally take place. The other part is I want Stevie to come back to Tampa and start scouting our next core to replace Hedman, Kucherov, and Point over the next 5 to 7 years.

He doesn’t qualify for playoffs

Edit: wasn’t aware of the exceptions.
I thought a contract had to be signed by December 1, like Nylander, to qualify.

 

[Captain97]

He doesn’t qualify for playoffs

Just replied to you in another thread. Yes he's does. Just had to be on the reserve list.

Other examples Cole Caufield and Cale Makar

He doesn’t qualify for playoffs

Personally, I find it INCREDIBLY entertaining when someone is so smugly self-assured while being so utterly incorrect.

A Hab win would feel more appreciated.

 

[Captain Mountain]

He doesn’t qualify for playoffs

He definitely does qualify for the playoffs.

 

[ole ole]

He doesn’t qualify for playoffs

Sorry to disappoint you but yes he does.

Not feeling it with -20 goal differential, and 25th in goals against.

Demidov should help with those stats.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Did anyone tell that Ottawa fan that demidov qualifies for the playoffs?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Personally, I find it INCREDIBLY entertaining when someone is so smugly self-assured while being so utterly incorrect.

I’m glad it affects you personally then.

But all I was thinking at the time was,
I thought a contract had to be signed by December 1, like Nylander had to, to qualify.

He’s allowed to play in the playoffs this year. Just a heads up

Yes that’s obvious if you follow the quotes and the replies since, thanks

Well done on coming back to own up to your mistake. A lesser man might have done a dirty delete and ran away.

 

[jbeck5]

Wait, so does demidov qualify for the playoffs or not?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Wait, so does demidov qualify for the playoffs or not?

No

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

No

...yes, he can...might wanna look it up, amigo...

 

[Sensatauro]

Wait, so does demidov qualify for the playoffs or not?

Yes, unless he plays the Sens. Then, No.

If the following all happen today:
Detroit wins in regulation - 81 pts
Isles win - 80 pts
Columbus wins - 79 pts
Buffalo wins - 76 pts (they went from the depths of hell to being 13th in the east somehow)

Will make the race continue at its current chaotic pace.
