Sens are done 5-0

Let's go Leafs!

 

[The Great Weal]

That extra point is nice but the Isles are 2 points away and hold the tie breaker.

Hopefully Wolf plays Saurday against the Isles.

Rags lost in reg which helps us (and the Isles). They got the Canucks this weekend so that can go any way.

We’ll be in tough on Saturday.

Not really worried about the isles. They have a really tough schedule remaining and really did nothing to show that they are a legit threat

Hopefully Pittsburgh still believe in their chances to make it and beat CBJ tomorrow.

This roster, oddly enough, usually plays well vs the Avs. Won our 2 games vs them last season and won our only game against them so far this season.

Last defeat vs Avs goes back two years ago with an 8-4 shellacking, on March 13th 2023.

The only big thing that scares me about the Islanders is Sorokin. He basically dragged them to the playoffs last year and are singlehandedly keeping them in this race. Outside of that the Islanders are not very impressive

Sorokin is already the only reason that the Islanders are even in that race. But they can't play him 18 games in a row and not burn him. He can't steal the remaining 14games either. He is in a good stretch but it's not a maintainable strategy.

We rely on 5on5 and we dominated them, it should lead us to more victory when Montembeault can be held to 1 or 0 soft goal against. He doesn't even have to steal games, just don't be ass.

We're going to be so dangerous if Fowler becomes what I think he can become.

Man, Calgary & Vancouver can really help out Montreal in our race.

Calgary beat NYR on Tuesday and now play NYI on Saturday. That's actually their last Eastern Conference game. After that, it's all Western games for them.

Meanwhile, Vancouver is @ NYR Saturday, @ NYI next Wednesday & @ Columbus next Friday. That is also their final Eastern Conference game.

We need to cheer for Calgary & Vancouver on Saturday. Calgary game is at 4 PM.

I always loved the west coast. Alexa play Hit Em Up.

That Calgary game vs the Islanders will probably be the most boring thing to watch

I don't want to picture what a Flames vs Islanders game looks like.

Agree. At least Fox vs Sorokin is a better match-up than Montembeault was against Sorokin.

But, yeah, at best I'll watch 3rd period. Lol

 

[Tuggy]

Such a tight race. It's definitely going to come down to the final game(s) for 2,3 or maybe 4 teams...who knows.

Let's go Pens tonight!

 

[Essenege]

NYI are getting close to a rough patch schedule wise.

Flames-CBJ-Canucks at home…50/50 games.

But then

TBL-CAR-TBL-MIN-WAS

That’s a rough, rough stretch.

 

[Adam Michaels]

The next 5 games are probably the most crucial.

COL on Saturday
STL on Tuesday
PHI on Thursday
CAR on Friday
FLA on Sunday

The PHI, CAR & FLA games are 3 games in 3 and a half days because the FLA game is at 1PM ET.

I'd go

Dobes vs Colorado
Monty vs St Louis
Monty vs Philadelphia
Dobes vs Carolina
Monty vs Florida.

 

[angusyoung]

Way to go! Congratulations for getting in a playoff spot.

I think we need 9 wins in 14 games if we are to decide our own fate. So we have to go 2-2-1 at the very least.
Otherwise we are going to need a ton of strategic losing by the other teams in the race.

Nothing like keeping the Habs off HNIC during the stretch drive!!
