Playoff race/Scoreboard watching thread

It's crazy how bad all the teams except MTL have been down the stretch, the way CBJ were skidding earlier you'd think there's be several teams ahead of them by now, but instead everyone else has been sucking as well and these couple wins make CBJ the best of the rest.

I'm about ready to say they are done :sarcasm: but with 4 games to go and if CBJ wins them all and MTL loses all, and at least 3 of them in regulation, the CBJ are in. Crazier things have happened.
 
Montreal might lose to Ottawa, Toronto and Carolina. (They might win them too, only Toronto has something to play for in the standings right now.)

But Montreal also plays Chicago. And they only need two points to get in even if we win all of our remaining four games, Montreal has the tiebreaker (even if RW is tied, they win on ROW).

So chances are slim. It might all be over today if Montreal wins against Ottawa.

That said I hope they keep pushing as long as there's still a chance and I'm happy to see these couple of wins here.
 
I think the most frustrating part of this season is just looking back at all the what ifs. What if we won just a few of those OTLs, what if Johnson didn't get hurt would he had stayed hot? If Monahan didn't get hurt, surely we'd be in one of the WC spots. And the obvious, if we had Johnny and we get this same level of play from Monahan and guys like Marchenko... There's no doubt we could've been top 3 in the division.

Yeah putting aside the emotional side, Gaudreau's talent used in this faster paced offense friendly system... oof. I wonder if his faster pace could have developed the 2 man game with Fantilli that Fantilli-Johnson haven't been able to make work yet
