Its looking like the wildcard race in the East is going to be exciting

[BB79]

Yeah....exciting for everyone whose team is a playoff team and isn't caught in the middle of it

 

[HockeyVirus]

the team that choked a 3-1 lead in the playoffs 4 years ago? Or hasn't won a cup in 57 years? One playoff round win in what? 20 years?
That hockey virus has afflicted you with the memory of a houseplant.

losers until proven otherwise

is correct

Wow thanks for telling me I had somehow forgotten

 

[Sens With Benefits]

The goal difference is wild for Boston and Pittsburgh.

 

[deca guard]

Exciting like a 5 car pile up.

exactly . a capped nhl has made for lack of power house teams , its now a bunch of unexciting hockey of mediocre teams determined by power plays

 

[HuGo Sham]

Wow thanks for telling me I had somehow forgotten

[Mike C]

Meanwhile in Buffalo...

......and on Long Island....

It will be a rollercoaster ride for sure, there's so many team fighting for a playoff spot it's gonna be a wild ride and at the end of the day it's great for the fans.

More exciting finishes to the WC races always makes a fun end to the year (as long as it's not your own fanbase desperately OOT scoreboard watching every night)

 

[Pavels Dog]

The Wildcard race looks more like someone has to make the playoffs, but noone probably deserves it.
Really exciting.

CBJ, Montreal and Detroit are a combined 25-4-1 in their last 10. That’s a 140 point pace.
What pace would you consider ”deserving” of playoffs?

 

[Sam de Mtl]

It's been great being able to cheer for wins in Montreal finally.

A WC spot would be awesome, but just being "in the mix" is a fine objective for us this year (as stated by GM Hughes at the beginning of the season).

I just want to see Boston drop out of ploofs!

Really exciting.

Wild card is a synonym for mediocrity
