Think it has more to do with the topic from the Pens-Flyers discussion yesterday about not clouding the picture on the bubble.
I agree. Keep Buffalo out of the WC race.

Todays Games To Watch
Edmonton @ Pittsburgh
Once again things didn't go the way we wanted.
Todays Games To Watch:
New York Islanders @ Columbus
Washington @ San Jose
Montreal @ Nashville
Being realistic =/= doom and gloom
Being realistic =/= doom and gloom
This is true and it is true that at this point the Jackets control their own destiny. But historically that has led to doom and gloom in Jackets Land.Being realistic =/= doom and gloom
The Jackets would have to travel to Chicago when they are on a roll, playing the best hockey they
have played in the past 2+ years
A carolina and Buffalo win tomorrow night would make things... interesting..
Thursday's going to be a big day. We play the Islanders and can cut down their division lead to 3 points (with a game in hand) with a regulation win AND the Capitals are playing @ San Jose, where they're expecting Erik Karlsson to return to the lineup. Sharks have been on a roll lately without EK65.
Both at home, both against poor teams. Our odds aren't so hot for a positive result tomorrow.
New York Rangers @ Buffalo
Edmonton @ Carolina
Pessimism/optimism aside, you continue to make these posts about what "we" want or what's good for "us" - but what you view as positive isn't universally accepted as positive, and in fact may be the minority view.
What? I'm pretty sure its unanimously accepted that in order for the CBJ to have the best chance at making the playoffs, they would need Edmonton and NYR to win, ideally in regulation. Isn't the playoffs what most of the fans want?
Yeah maybe that exact post wasn't the best example. What I'm saying is the outcomes you're expecting/rooting for are different from the outcomes others are expecting/rooting for, but your posts make it seem like your perspective on what is a positive outcome in specific matchup situations is "universal" when it's not.
Maybe? The only time I can remember this happening was the Sabres/Islanders game where I said we should root for the Isles and the majority said Sabres. However, I think people were thinking too boldly as we were on a winning streak. If we were fresh off a loss, or say, if the Sabres were to be within one win of tying us, I think people's thoughts would drastically change.
I was of the thinking that most fans want to make the playoffs. I was/am quite surprised that there's a hefty sum here that think the playoffs are a lock (Given we keep Panarin/Bob). I don't think this roster is even close to good enough to be a lock for anything. (Capitals, Penguins, Boston have earned that right. CBJ have not.)
I can stop bolding the team we should want, if you'd prefer that. Most of them are straight forward anyway. The main goal is to inform people of the games on hand that day, not cause debate.
