NHL Standings Watch 2024-2025 - UPDATED 2/10/25

I have less faith in the teams around the Bruins than I do in Boston. The standings look better now after most of these teams squandered some games in hand. Rangers and Islanders still have 2 but we will see

 

[KillerMillerTime]

if you look at the standings and the way other teams that are battling are playing, the playoffs are still within reach, especially with a game with Ottawa and a game with Detroit coming. Get Hampus back and win those two games and streak win some more and they are solidly back in the wild card spots. This is far from over.

They have been poor on the road against current EC Playoff teams. They are 2-7-1 and those games remaining with Ottawa & Detroit are away games.
Yeah they beat Detroit but that was before Uncle Fester was fired. Clearly Detroit's issue was coaching. Ottawa does have some injuries with Pinto and Norris but we will see if they heal up. It sucks those games are after the trade deadline as you would have probably gotten a clear direction of buy or sell.

but will Lindholm be back, that could be huge for a team that has been so shaky on defense recently

25 games to go and not sure he will be up to speed for a few of those.

State of the Bruins: Playoffs and trade market update at 4 Nations break

MoneyPuck gives the Bruins just a 14.9 percent chance of making the playoffs based on its model.


“The Bruins have only three more matchups against the other five teams in the standings chart above. They play the Senators, Red Wings and Islanders once more apiece. So there's not a ton of head-to-head chances for the Bruins to pick up two points on the opponents they're battling for a wild card berth. This means the B's will need help from these teams faltering down the stretch.”

people talking about Hampus like he's Bourque. He's a good player, but he's not going to make *that* much difference, especially right away

I believe they are referring to who Hampus would be replacing in the lineup and he would be a big upgrade.

sure, but i don't think replacing Callahan/Oesterle/Spoon with Hampus, who has missed 35 games and counting will make that big of a jump in play, especially for the first couple weeks while he's getting back in game shape and knocking off the rust.

B's are on an 86pt pace through 57 games. I think 93 gets in. so they need 33 points in 25 games, which is a 108pt pace. I don't see Hampus making anything close to that kind of difference even if he was replacing me in the lineup

Surprised their model views the 2nd worst goals differential in the east as having much of any shot. They should be listed off-page with the toilet seats.
