The Playoff Push, Tanking and Scoreboard Watching Thread

[Beninnola]

It’s kinda messed up Vancouver got Chytil then he got a concussion. That’s just lame. I really couldn’t root against them after that. Not that I wanted them to win or anything.

 

[PJJJP]

The devils are just throwing the puck and trying to prevent a goal from scoring and then get scored on. They are useless

 

[Linkens Mastery]

New Jersey is so damn useless.

How many points have they coughed up in March to teams in the West Wild Card race?

2 to Cal, 2 to Van, and (so far) 1 to Min

I actually don't mind if Minnesota finished in the WC1 spot and the Blues take the WC2 spot because I'd prefer to see Winnipeg in the first round anyways. Vegas is a tested and proven team with championship pedigree on their roster. Plus, their defensemen will be a pain to deal with. Give me the Jets.

I want Minnesota to fall out of the Race and Calgary or Vancouver take it.

New Jersey has been useless but at least the won that game in the SO. Blues and Wild now tied in GP. We just have to win 1 more game than them down this last stretch and we get WC1

All three are weak right now, but I want the WC2, so we get the Jets.

Don’t we avoid the Avs and Stars in rd 2 if we are WC1?

Playoff seeding is weird and I have never taken the time to try to understand it, but will it really matter? It's gonna be a tough road either way.

Yes…..with two caveats. Jets win the Central and they end up with more points than Vegas.

 

[TheDizee]

Refalanche are even more pathetic than New Jersey LOL

 

[Blanick]

Apparently Colorado is just as useless as NJ.

Folding like a cheap tent

Folding like a cheap tent

I can imagine their GDT now

"The Refs f***ed us again guys"
"These Refs did not call anything against them! How are we suppose to score??"

 

[TheDizee]

Calgary gets a point in a game they were down 2-0

Wild get a point in a game they trailed 2-1 late

I can taste the Canuck fan tears

Its not too complicazed. They make 2 division brackets even though the 2 wild card teams might not be from those divisions. The division2 faces the divisjon 3 andnthe 1 faces a wildcard. The winners then play each other. If we are wc 1, we will essentially be in vegas division until the conference finals and face winner of kings/oilers if we beat vegas but as wc 2 wed stay in our division and indeed face avs/stars if we beat winnped

Before this recent stretch Calgary had ONE comeback win the entire season and it was opening night. I’ve never seen anything like this.

Fighting for their lives.

This.

They have to win every game in hand and then win 1 more than either the Wild or Blues in the final 7. Damn near impossible.

 

[TheDizee]

If the Avs dont do flybys there, thats a easy tap in as the puck was sitting on the goal line for 2 seconds or so

 

[ChicagoBlues]

I thought the Wild would be fighting for their lives to the point that we wouldn't catch them. Now we are chomping at their heels, not nipping.

Injuries wrecked em. They are a one line team and their one line got hurt.

 

[TheDizee]

While not great that they got 2 points when they would have gotten 0 if the Refalanche were not pathetic frauds, at least they did not get a regulation win.
