GDT: Scoreboard Watching! Boston vs. Tampa

[NewAgeOutlaw]

if we beat Islanders and Buffalo we can win the division, here is the incentive....

Wut?

 

[WayneSid9987]

Which is huge... because we can't get 3 points pounding buffalo.

Agreed. TY Florida.

 

[Hophog]

It's no points if Bruins lose in regulation in their last game sir

That would really be a fitting way for this team to make the playoffs Lose the next two yet still somehow get in. It would be extremely sad but I'm fairly certain I don't have the kind of luck they would need for that to happen anyway. I expect the Bruins will get at least a point out of the Tampa game.

Wut?

I mean get in the playoffs ahead of Isles

 

[systemsgo]

I'm a huggeee Sid fan but i wouldn't mind Tavares getting the AR this year. Him or Sid of course.

I'm rooting for Sid then Benn, then Ovi. Nothing against JT, but the bragging by the Isles fans would grate on me so much.

So the Pens need to hold JT pointless tomorrow. Which is a near guarantee they won't be able to do it

Pittsburgh's media at it's finest.

Ahhh yes that makes much more sense.

Do they think that if they repeat it enough, it becomes true?

Don't tell them they're wrong, they'll block you!

It may actually be 1 point.

If we play an odd # of games (we played Bruins 3 times) than the 1st two games count.

Each team gets 3 points for their 3 - 2 OT wins.

Next tie-breaker is the goal differential which is Pens +11 and Bruins +3

 

[Stad]

, Jagr is the best.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Buffalo has a mission as well. I'd consider them a win.

Do you want the Pens to win both and play Washington or win one and play the Rangers?

 

[vodeni]

Ahhh yes that makes much more sense.

would we play detroit than?

 

[deczola]

On seasons ending on even years it's (2014) the first home match gets washed out and on odd years when season end (2015) the final home match gets wiped out.

This seems really bizarre

Question now is go for win against Islanders then rest key players? I know Crosby won't for obvious reasons.

My head hurts

if we win bot would we play Tampa?

 

[gordie]

Yohe by the way changed what he tweeted about the 1 point.

 

[deczola]

Can anyone confirm this:

#1 Total Points

#2 ROW

#3 head to head when matches are even

#4 head to head minus extra match stipulation

#5 Goal Differential

 

[Ugene Magic]

I'm really not sure.

No. The first game of the Bruins at home doesn't count. It's written right there on the wildcard standings board.

The Bruins have the tie breaker.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Can we get Bill Nye or somebody to explain these tiebreaker rules?

I think the first game doesn't count so Pens lose that tie breaker

 

[Human]

According to Yohe it is one point. I say they get it against the NYI tomorrow.

and surprise surprise he's wrong...

 

[deczola]

It cannot be the Bruins game not counting because the point of the rule is to throw out an extra home game to the team with the extra advantage.

They are not going to wipe out the Bruins home game. One of the two Pens games get wiped out.
