Playoffs Positivity Thread

Carrière seems to have made a signficant contribution to defensive structure. Much improved.

The terrible start is such a shame. Before Laine’s injury I actually put 250$ on Habs making the playoffs at 8.5 to 1. Buffalo and Detroit were at 2.5/3 to 1 so my rationale was, the odds don’t compute. Should have bet on Detroit to miss instead!!

They really do look like a « in the mix » team now since Laine came back (and I would say the few games before)…but to catch up they need to be top tier, and that’s a stretch.

I put $100 on them in playoffs. Lots of hockey left

Desired results tonight:

- MTL reg. win vs. CBJ: MTL reg. win moves them 1 point ahead of CBJ with 1 game in hand. Even a win in OT/SO moves MTL ahead. Would be tied in pts but MTL has 1 game in hand.

- BUF reg. win vs. NYI: NYI reg. loss + MTL win = MTL moves ahead of NYI. Will be tied in pts, but MTL have a game in hand + have more RWs.
- NJD reg. win vs. NYR: NYR reg. loss + MTL win = MTL ties NYR at 33 pts. NYR remain ahead with more RWs.
- STL reg. win vs. DET: DET reg. loss + MTL win = MTL will move 3 pts ahead.

- PHI vs. PIT: as long as game doesn't go to OT.
If PHI reg. loss + MTL win = MTL moves 1 point behind PHI with 1 game in hand.
If PIT reg. loss + MTL win = MTL moves 2 pts behind PIT with 2 games in hand.

*with a MTL win (preferrably reg. win) + NYI reg. loss moves MTL 6th in the East. And they would go into the Christmas break 5 pts out of a playoff spot.*

Wow it wasn't all that long ago you were calculating everything on the downside.

There might come a time this year I will. After the schedule they have after the Christmas break, I might be doing this in the Tank Thread again.

But right now, the team is doing well. And are still very much in the mix. And have a legit chance to jump up a spot or two in the standings again tonight.
