The chase for the playoffs (standings, scoreboard watching, and, of course, sagacious commentary)

[Viqsi]

Every team around them keeps losing, take advantage dammit!!

...said half the Metro.

 

[Doggy]

Flyers rolling over Rangers 3-0 after one period. Seems the Flyers really have the Rangers number this season. I wonder what happens to King Henrik next season.

 

[DJA]

Everybody in Metro sucking except the Flyers. They may end up passing the Caps at this rate.

 

[pled]

the hope is still there. kinda crazy honestly. wc2 projection is down to 96 points, 20 points in 16 game doesn't seem completely impossible

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Even with everyone losing around us

we still have injuries

we still have a brutal March schedule

and teams have games in hand on us

don’t put me down for optimistic

oh man. shocking.

oh man. shocking.

if you made a thread about my pessimism I bet it would switch pretty quickly!

no chance, i've been trying to get you to become an optimist over the span of 7 years and 4 name changes now lol

I’d consider myself a realist. I was one of the only positive posters through December

I recall our winning run started with a great California trip, hopefully the trip to Canada will start another productive play offs push.

Crazy to think that had we won 3-4 of those overtimes, we would’ve been sitting pretty thanks to other teams losing

 

[Columbus Mike]

By the time they play their next game (Thursday), Carolina will have four games in hand. They play 16 games from March 5 to March 31, 9 of those on the road. It's not an easy path for them at all.

A big two point for us on Wednesday to get some separation from them.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

15 games to play. I’m thinking 99 points will get them in. Margin of error is quite slim.

projection went down to 96 last week idk where they are at rn

Hoping for nyi, nyr, pit, tbl, nsh, buf, njd, tor losing tonight

 

[ViD]

Montreal leads NYI 3-0 after 1st

 

[pled]

nyr losing too

 

[S1N4TR4]

loving tonight's scores (aside from pittsburgh, but that was beyond predictable. pissed off pens against the depressed sens).

 

[ViD]

What a day for CBJ

 

[ViD]

NYR are no longer matching us on points even winning the game in hand.

NYI now only have 2 games on us and Carolina could be ahead by max of 3 points.

 

[S1N4TR4]

a win tomorrow night will have the CBJ 5 points clear of a playoff spot (for the time being). can't stress how big that Rangers loss was tonight. they now have just 1 less game played than us

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Still not a believer but I found this interesting

 

[KCbus]

There were times during the streak when it felt like we weren’t gaining much ground because the teams around us were holding their own. Now we’re struggling, and it seems like no one else feels like winning either.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Every other team is basically running in quicksand. Working so hard, but just going nowhere.

Nice.

 

[Fro]

Metro deserves the 3rd Atlantic spot lol

What does it mean when everything is unsustainable.....??
