OOT Scoreboard 2023-24 season - part II

[ZYXWVUT]

I’d really like to know how many teams since the NHL has been at least a 30 team league had 30 regulation losses after 66 games (really 64 games because that’s when they had regulation loss 30) wound up making the playoffs.

Has it ever happened before? Best case is they have a heroic run and fall just short.

Unless they win probably 13 or 14 of their remaining 16. Even with last night’s win they’ve lost 3 of their last 5 games, with one of those coming in OT.

Even last year’s Panthers had 5 more points after the same number of games, and I still thought they would fall just short at that time.

Regulation loss 30 came for them in game 73 and they only lost 2 more in regulation after that.

absolutely fair points. i dont discount those at all.

The east may have an under 90 pt playoff team this year, unlikely but there’s a chance

The only thing in Buffalo’s favor is they have a lot head to head matchups with the teams they are chasing still to come. 2 games left vs Detroit and one each vs Philly, Islanders, and Tampa.

Their next two game are vs the Islanders and Red Wings. Win both and they are probably in the race. Lose even one of them and they are done. They pretty much have to sweep those 5 head to head games and get some luck.

They have also played the most games of all the playoff contenders, so that skews things as well.

Buffalo, like us, aren’t mathematically eliminated but their playoff odds are in the garbage can with ours.

Detroit now has the best odds for the sub-90 point final wild card spot. All the teams in the running for it are playing poorly for it, so if any team decided not to suck and go on a run they could be a threat, but alas…

This is when Strength of Schedule starts to matter too.

Here’s teams’ home and away records, plus their 2nd half of the season records, so you can be sadder about us. (That wasn’t my goal with this originally but that’s where I ended up. You’re welcome.)

I'm not going to do the math but I'd be curious if NJ gave away the most points by losing to bad teams this season. It's amazing they are all but eliminated because of losses to Anaheim, SJ, AZ, etc. I'm sure all teams lose games to bad teams but if NJ has left the most points on the table against them that is maddening, and no not John Maddening.

watching some of the rags canes, its like a womens tennis match without the "uh ah" noise. just clearing passes to the other team

It was pretty stoic until towards the end of the third there was some trading chances and both goalies had to come up big. Definitely a playoff style of game.

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah, as fun as watching the Oilers burners leave the old, slow and unskilled farts in the rearview mirror may be, I don’t do Capitals games. I watched the four against us and that was it. I half watched the Sharks game against them in San Jose (the game in Washington coincided with one of our games) which the Sharks won. I was laying down and not really paying full attention to it though.

I’m more than good with Avalanche vs Canucks.

Why again did Max Pacioretty get a full NMC? Because the Capitals crack management thought they were for sure a playoff team and wouldn’t have any need to sell him off? Is that why? Or because he’s so broken down that odds were he wouldn’t even play most of the season or even last till the deadline and would be on LTIR by then? Is that why?

 

[NjDevsRR]

The horseshoe up this Caps teams ass is pretty impressive

Getting absolutely dominated, only one crappy bad angle shot on goal through 10 mins. And of course it was a goal

 

[NjDevsRR]

As I said…

 

[Bleedred]

Kuemper looks like a roasted marshmallow at this point.

I’m pretty sure he has 3 years left after this? Or is it just 2?

And the Caps brought him in so they could “Contend” and get Ovechkin and the boys one more cup.

The numbers between Lindgren and Kuemper are on different galaxies.

I honestly thought there were times late last year where he looked about done.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Skinner has a 0 save percentage this period so far, but winning

And yet many posters on here would say he had a good game based on a W, and not save %

I still think the Oilers will win a cup in the next three years. Probably sooner than 3 years. As long as they keep their stars. Not sure how I feel about Skinner, but he hasn’t been bad in the parts of 3 years that he’s played in the NHL.

I think they’re fine with him to win a cup.

I’m actually surprised he doesn’t get overrated by the Edmonton media machine. He’s sort of underrated because there’s some Oilers fans and publications that would have you believe he’s terrible and that he will be a true impediment to the Oilers winning that elusive cup in the next 3 years.

 

[sabremike]

Wait, why exactly are Buffalo now getting in? They virtually have the same record as us. They have one more OT loss than we do and one more point in one more game played. They’re 5 points out and have two more games played than the team currently in the last spot (Islanders) and 5 points behind Detroit (first team on the outside) with one more game played. They’re about as cooked as us and Pittsburgh are.

U know why:

 

[Davegarri]

Sucks for Kuemper having to stick it out when it's 7-2 because they have a back to back lol

 

[Devils Army]

We need Trenin on this team. Avs bottom 6 is so good and deep post deadline

 

[MadDevil]

 

[Bleedred]

What’s gonna suck for him is how many more years he’s going to have to stick it out on that awful, shit hole team with all the other has-been geriatrics and plods who are devoid of skill.

He’s looked like a roasted marshmallow this year and the signs were there late last year. At least for me they were.

 

[ZYXWVUT]

Boy, Detroit is just absolutely plummeting. About to be seven straight losses in regulation. In about two weeks, they went from comfortably in WC1 to looking like they could very well miss entirely when all is said and done.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Isles got smacked around by Buffalo. No one wants that final WC spot

 

[Emperoreddy]

Wings lose again

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Rags lost 6-3 to TB LMAO

 

[Emperoreddy]

Philly getting shit stomped as well

 

[Patrik26]

Rango goal. 28.

 

[Patrik26]

Blake goal. 27.
