OOT Scoreboard 2024 25 Season Part II

[jkrdevil]

hmm I think the last 4 games really don't matter now? Hurricanes clinch home ice? Is that correct?

Correct. Can’t move up or down in the standings.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Canes have been the better team for most of the night it seems. Unfortunately the Caps shooting bender will never end this season.

One thing that gives me hope is the Canes goaltending.

Things must’ve turned because our trusty “deserve to” has Caps at 65%, an entire expected goal more than the Canes, & 60/40 Caps/Canes xGF%.

3-0 Flames midway through. Minnesota is going to choke this away aren’t they?

I think the odds probably still favor them, as they’ll be 3 points up with one more game played. They have Vancouver tomorrow night and then the Ducks on Tuesday.

The Flames have the Sharks tomorrow night (probably a win), but then Vegas and LA to end the season after that.

They got their dynamic duo back - I think they'll squeak in for a fast exit.

 

[Bleedred]

I’d like to go LOL Caps, but they got that 45 year old rookie, Weird Al looking guy in net today.

First goal stunk and he was a statue on the second goal.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Will Montreal lose another 3 straight and then give opportunity to one of the 2 teams to be forced to win out (Rags/Isles) or CBJ to practically win out..

The East wildcard is crazy odd this year.

 

[Bleedred]

Caps goalie is a bum. Literally every goal was bad. Off his angle on two of them. Just stood there like the controller was disconnected on the second goal.

Says he’s 29, but he looks early 40s easy.

Only 4 NHL games played before today. And I know one of them was against us last year.

His AHL numbers over his career look solid, with the exception of this season.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Capitals are playing like poop still. So that Canes Caps game the other day being pretty even doesn’t say much for either team. I feel like all these Metro teams that are locked in are just playing out the season

I’m not even gonna feel bad if the Columbus or the Islanders win out and tie us in points, but miss the playoffs on the tiebreaker.

It would be the one consolation to losing out the rest of the year.

I can imagine how salty they’d be.

“We won 6 in a row to end the season, the Devils lost 5 in a row in regulation. We tied them in points and still missed the playoffs?!”.

They’d probably demand that the final week of the season should be the tiebreaker over regulation wins or ROW.

The Rangers cannot tie us in points. Only the Jackets.

Actually, the Islanders can’t either. Only the Jackets.

It's all dependent on Montreal losing completely.

And yeah, only CBJ had a chance to tie but lose to us if we don't point another one

 

[Bleedred]

Caps goalie is an embarrassment.

Literally every other shot is a goal.

And the first 3 were all definitely bad.

I’m guessing they’re gonna let him eat this one so Lindgren can rest. They really could be an early out if it’s Lindgren and no Thompson available.

 

[Bleedred]

6 goals on 13 shots lol.

This is why he’s only played 4 NHL games before today, despite being the same age as Robert Luongo.

This guy?

Take his mask off during play and this is his game face when a puck is fired at him.

I give his genes credit for having a real man's man's, hockey face.

Take that mask off you give quite the impression

Hard to see it happening when they still have Chicago at home and a Carolina team who might be resting everyone at home too.

Plus Rangers, Islanders and Blue Jackets won't win out either.

Probably, but would be mind boggling if they blow it.

Caps dropping this game, giving CBJ a free win.

Islanders lost to Philly in a shootout so they are officially eliminated

I thought so

Even though the NHL standings did not have an E next to their name, but now their max is 86 points and Montreal already has 87.

For whatever stupid reason the nhl website is slow with the standings. ESPN even has the standings listed correctly.

They had the standings updated, but just no E next to their name like all the other teams below them.

Maybe their software only updates that once a day?

How about Detroit? They must be eliminated too?

Actually, they aren't, until they lose a point or Montreal gains one.

I honestly don't give a shit who fills the final wild card as long as it isn't the fishsticks (ELIMINATED) and the rags (DOWN 4-0). I wouldn't mind seeing Montreal choke it away to Columbus but that's not going to happen.

 

[Dialamo]

Canes smacking the Rags so far. Shame they never were able to do this to the Rags when it really mattered (ie the 2nd round of 22 and 24).
