[Milhouse40]

[overlords]

cats tie it up with detroit 1-1

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, Islanders goaltending is complete shit without Sorokin. Rangers up 3-0 in 1st.

 

[red devil]

Rangers 4- 0 at the end of the 1st

If things stay the same with the scores tonight, all Montreal needs tomorrow is one point to offically clinch a playoff spot. Then, you can start resting people (e.g., Armia, Anderson, Savard, Gallagher)

 

[BergevinBurner]

Isles losing, Jackets losing and Wings tied. If they all lose we just need 1 point to clinch right?

 

[zx81]

So far so good. Perfect scoreboard. All close games though except for the NY one

 

[ZUKI]

3 goals 2 assists only for Celebrini

Calder's trophy to Celebrini is the "Flavour of the day".

Man

This is going.. TOO well tonight so far lol

 

[Miller Time]

being one of the hotest teams in the league since the break bodes very well in terms of carrying momentum into the playoffs.

5-6 weeks of "playoff" hockey will have the nerves and resolve tested, whereas the Caps have to reset their focus after all of the Ovechkin excitement.

or, maybe we finish the season on a win streak and nudge the Sens out of the WC2 spot, setting up yet another opportunity to send the laffs golfing early.

What a great time to be a habs fan! No expectations, all upside... gotta love it

Look like the magic number for the Rangers and the Islanders will be 1 after tonight.

 

[Chadstudsky]

Sabres, Panthers and Rangers all up

I still think it was the wrong move. Even with hindsight there’s Armia that shouldn’t be playing right now but we have no options.

It's outrageously disingenuous to pretend that Armia had shit value like a 3rd when Brandon Tanev got a 2nd. With Luke Shenn getting a 2nd and a 4th, adding a pick to Savard to get a 2nd wasn't entirely out of the question. Not to mention that Armia and Savard have been the worst regulars since the deadline.

I'll eat crow on not expecting to get to this stage, but it's the lack of direction that upset me the most.

Come on man
There's direction, clearly

They just didn't want a couple of extra 4th round picks is all Lol
The 2 in question aren't getting re-signed either so who cares basically

 

[CHfan1]

So Brandon Tanev who is worse than Armia gets a 2nd, but Armia gets a 4th?

No there really isn’t a direction when you can’t be bothered to upgrade on Pezz for dirt cheap (actually a 4th unlike the Armia return people expected). Fortunately Suzuki and Hutson put the team on their back and got us here, but we’d be here with or without those two. Only difference is that we would have had a 2nd and maybe another one if we added a later pick. Nobody was advocating dumping these guys at all costs which is why nobody was upset that Dvorak didn’t get traded. If we want to say that Savard had zero value, then sure I can allow that. But saying Armia was worth a 4th is complete bs, he’d easily fetch a 2nd.

 

[Andrei79]

3-1 Florida.

Dotter in complete shambles right now.

But that's fine, the defense mechanisms are going to be out in full force. He'll be okay.

First will come agressive urges he'll project unto Hutson, hoping he gets Bertuzzi'd.

Then the sadness and realization that both he and his team are pathetic will be stopped by strong, almost psychotic levels of denial. Yzerman is his true leader after all and the 12 year plan is going smoothly. Really, missing the playoffs is actually a way, way better outcome.
