Caps in 3. Worked fine for the Leafs.

 

[Benstheman]

Not looking good actually

another loss tonight against the Canes and i think we can kiss our chances goodbye

This is crazy how this teams plays by sequences. Either top of the league sequence or bottom of the league.

It's possible but the teams chasing the Habs aren't very good either.

The Habs have 11 games left with 75 points.

They could go 6-5 the rest of the way and finish with 87 points and that might actually be enough.

I think they get in with 89 for sure, but the floor to get in is hard to predict right now.

Go Nucks and Ducks!

Sucks that we can't take our destiny into our own hands and just win some games but here we are.

We'll have to win eventually. 75 points won't get us in the playoffs

I know their objective was to be in the mix, but I find that locking a spot would be a significant step forward for the team.

100%. Now that we're here, we want them in. But if we look at it objectively, even if they said they wanted to be in the mix, we didn't think they really would. Almost all of us had them in the bottom of the standings again. Maybe not Bottom-5, but Bottom-10. So right now, we're playing with house money.

What's discouraging is they're hitting a wall right now. It's been real highs followed by real lows. We all know they started the season really bad. But from December to mid-January, they were flying. Then they hit a wall and were losing almost every game before the 4-Nations. After the tourny, they came back flying again. And now, they're starting to hit a wall.

Not to be forgotten, they are still the second youngest team in the league, behind only the Sabres. So consistency is still something they're trying to figure out.

We are so lucky that none of the teams behind the Habs are winning enough to overtake them. But if MTL continue to not take advantage of their chances to widen the gap, even if a little, those other teams will overtake them.

Tonight, we need VAN to do us another solid after they did one against NYI, but tonight to do it with CBJ. And of course, we need ANA to beat NYR.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Trending down even if everybody lose lol

If we had got anything out of Dach this year Habs be already in playoffs picture. He was 100% flop

 

[BergevinBurner]

IF they managed to get 4 points between the Philly, Carolina and 2 Florida games then I figured they'd be in good shape going into April.

So tonight is nearly a must-win in my eyes because I can't see us winning both Florida games coming up. A win tonight and split the 2 games with Florida, then MAYBE they'll be able to get a little momentum going to finish out the season

 

[The Great Weal]

Canucks shit to bed and Columbus gets 2 points. Edit Canucks now score lmao not over

 

[TheBuriedHab]

We are positively not making the playoffs.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Columbus-Vancouver going to OT. Columbus needs 2 points to catch Montreal. If they do get it, they'll take WC2 based on points percentage.

 

[the valiant effort]

NO. NOT ON THE TACKS

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Merzlinkins dove.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, Vancouver & Columbus go to a shootout.

 

[The Great Weal]

Columbus passes us

 

[salbutera]

CBJ wins

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Columbus wins. They're back in WC2.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We'll see what NYR do tonight.

Montreal choked their spot away.

 

[zx81]

Columbus wins. They're back in WC2.

It's over. There is no other mini tournament break. We are done.
