JR and Korac are so Charmin soft. They'll ban people for disagreeing, even if done respectfully.Saw a tweet that he is now week to week. Playoffs start on 4/19, so he could potentially be out the rest of the season (2 weeks). Sorry, can only add the pic as Rutherford blocked me a while back for questioning his supposed infinite wisdom!!
Hoping that Minny or CGY don’t both go on heaters like we have, as they have soft schedules. At least they play each other once, so that helps.

NYI leading Min 3-1 7min left

And almost had the record with a wrister from the slot that barely caught the shoulder of Knight.

I respect him not wanting to break it on an empty netter. Said “No” to going on the ice for it.

The Mild lose again! They're now 5 points ahead of Calgary and the Flames have two games at hand. Those teams will faceoff next Friday.

I didn’t realize CGY played Minny. And at home no less. They are def still alive. F*** Kadri and all but I’d rather CGY make it. They’ve been scrappy all year.

Personally, I want LA to pass Vegas, and us to end up in the top WC spot.
Let Vegas and Edmonton duke it out in round one, and us to only have to potentially play one of them instead of both.

A New York team actually helped us out tonight, I'm actually shocked.

Could also happen. LA is very tough at home but I think they are going to lose in Round 1 no matter who they play.

This is very true. Also, I have the personal connection to living in LA for a decade, so having the two week beef with my friends sounds very fun lol.
This wildcard race is gonna go right down to the wire. Just like a good wildcard race is supposed to.

Their road record is actually pretty horrific. 15-19-5. All the lower team vs them has to do is steal 1 game and they are in deep. If they lose Game 1 of a series with home ice, they are going to be under so much pressure too.

I strongly suspect this is an injury where they are optimizing him for the playoffs, being careful not to let it become something bigger. With no brace, etc, seems like we are talking about soft tissue - bruising/soreness. I thought his hip got crunched at a weird angle and was sore. Maybe ribs.
Snuggerud’s arrival is convenient. I don’t expect him to be as good as Holloway, but his role on the team fits the whole and it’s a good time for him to get some important minutes. A little production there looks plausible, and helps to cultivate Snuggerud into a viable playoffs sub/alternate.Saw a tweet that he is now week to week. Playoffs start on 4/19, so he could potentially be out the rest of the season (2 weeks).

They won’t win the rest of the regular season games, but they’ll win enough points to get a WC spot. A healthy Holloway is important. The playoff chances look a lot better than just being a sacrificial lamb to the top seed.
| Team | Magic Number to clinch Playoffs | Current Points | Games Remaining | Possible Points | RW | ROW | Common Games |
| Blues | 7 | 91 | 5 | 101 | 30 | 38 | vs U |
| Wild | 9 | 89 | 5 | 99 | 33 | 38 | vs C, vs V |
| Flames | . | 84 | 7 | 98 | 27 | 32 | vs W |
| Canucks | . | 81 | 7 | 95 | 26 | 31 | vs W |
| Utah | . | 80 | 6 | 92 | 26 | 33 | vs B |
Blues now control their destiny for the 1st WC spot. I wouldn’t say they should feel comfortably in a spot, not until it’s clinched. But all 5 teams would rather be in StLouis’ position right now.
We should maybe be tracking the Pacific bracket. It’s Vegas right now, but the Kings are 3 points back (4 really since they lose the tiebreaker) each with 5g left. Would much rather face the Kings. Kings host Edmonton and Vegas at Calgary tomorrow.
Every team of interest plays except Minnesota.
It feels like the winning streak has to end soon. Maybe it’s finally up tomorrow.
I really like Bostons choices
They were not good then decided let’s go be bad then, traded key guys, and now they’re 4th worst in the standings and last in the east, somehow below the Sabres.
Maybe they’ll be bad for another year or two but if the lottery balls call their name - it’ll all be worth it probably.
Wonder if pasta moves. He’s only 28. I don’t think you’d retain a guy like him for his good years if you’re chasing lottery picks.
