Hold on I'm going to check to see if we landed a 2C and I'll be right back.

With a win tonight and loss from Ottawa and NYR, it would put us in the WC2 and just 1pt behind CLB. I know we have lots of games left but with everyone losing last night, tonight could be a turning point for us and may be the 2pts we need if we happen to just miss the POs.

We play tomorrow night (Thursday). We still need both NYR & Ottawa to lose. Hopefully Chicago plays Knight tonight.
Washington is at least a tough match-up for NYR.

There was talk about Dylan Cousins being that guy so maybe we can make it happen. He would fit in nicely. In fact I would even trade them Dach and a draft pick for DC.

What a great night for the Habs and they didn’t even play…..all these playoff possible teams losing- Boston, Flyers, Columbus, Detroit.
Let’s beat Edm tonight…..pick up a quality 2C and make our big push at the end to get in…..hopefully to play against the Leafs.

Edmonton game is thursday................last night was a fantastic night, most teams we needed to lose did so......the Oilers are struggling, hopefully our guys are still big time motivated about the WC spots and can keep the Oilers down.
Thinking we see Kent make a move today............a 2C would be fantastic!!

let’s best the oilers tonight and when we actually play them tomorrow

Edmonton is struggling so hopefully get that W and then drop the game in OT to Calgary on Saturday to ensure they stay out of the bottom 10.

Just wanted to make sure you weren't sitting down at 9 pm tonight with your popcorn at the ready going, "Câlisse! Where's the Montreal game! Curling? Wtf?"

It will be an interesting western Canadian swing.
You never know what to expect from the oilers. Hopefully their recent struggles continue. Calgary is a decent home team and has shown up all year. Vancouver is struggling hard, and haven't been a good home team at all this year.
I think 1-1-1 is achievable but would be really nice to get more out of it.

all part of the process. And I think it shows the team is learning resilience and consistency by not throwing in the towel and TWICE having hot runs to get them back in the mix. I think it is a sign that our rebuild is moving forward and we're not going to be stuck in perpetual suckage.
Obviously Demidov coming over and Laine being healthier will be big plusses, but here's a few underrated factors going into next season:
-Montembault is what he is at this point, but if Dobes makes an improvement (even a modest one), he can be the 1A goalie and further reduce the net issues, which would surely lead to alot more Ws and OT/SO points.
-Slafkovsky is going to be one year older, and in terms of physical development that could be huge in terms of him asserting himself. He's showing he's starting to understand the mental side of being a power forward, but knowing he has room to grow into his body every coming season is exciting to see what progress he makes and how it might help him dominate.
-Newhook is going to play in the bottom six where he belongs
-All our D prospects will be 1 year older so I think it will bode well for our depth and our options
-Evans-Anderson will return as a PK duo
-Hutson gets an off-season to train....can't wait

Never man. Better increase as much as possible our chances to make the playoff then cling onto the hope of a good CGY pick in the 12-15 range. It’s been too long since we had PO hockey.

Oh well ....
Sens lead 1-0.
Rangers down 1-0.
If Rangers lose & Sens win, Ottawa takes over WC2. It'll be the 3rd straight day that WC2 changed teams 3 different times:
Detroit --> NYR --> Ottawa.

New Jersey is definitely in danger of actually missing the playoffs now.
Columbus is 4 pts back with 2 games in hand. NYR 6 pts back with 2 games in hand.
New Jersey does hold the RW tie breaker over Columbus & the ROW tie breaker over Rangers.
New Jersey has 2 games left against Columbus, and games against Ottawa, Detroit & NYR.
In fact, their last game of the season is against Detroit.

Not to mention this recent hot streak is without our 1D, Kaiden Guhle.
Plus, whatever additions HuGo can swing next summer. I think they’ve earned the benefit of the doubt several times over
Yeah great night yesterday, but doesn't look like lightning will strike twice.
