The Playoff Push, Tanking and Scoreboard Watching Thread

[Xerloris]

Seattle and Utah are ready for the offseason. They have tee times in luxurious places, plans with family, good times ahead.

That's not how any of that works. They most certainly do have something to play for, they have the opportunity to let us know that they feel we should go f*** ourselves and if you think they're not imagining bringing our season to an end you're crazy.

I’ve watched teams bend others to their will. I’ve seen a handful of games where folks go through the motions in the third period.

We can take a hundred penalty minutes each game and still not lead the league.

The first round starts in 3 games. It’s not nice hockey. Why be nice now.

“Sure would be a shame to have a bunch of doctors appointments instead” made me almost spit out my margarita that I’m drinking between getting off work and going home LOL

I hate it when I get margarita on my dashboard

In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
(Subdivisions)—
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Rush is the most overrated band of all time … 2 good songs in 50 years

I just watched the Subdivisions video on YouTube. Reminded me of my youth. The song is awesome.

I think they are underrated and I'm not a huge fan.

I like Rush , but truth is it’s music for teenage boys. I saw them in college and they were great. It still brings a nostalgic smile to my face when I hear them, but the songs only seem profound because it speaks to disaffected youth. And nothing wrong with that, as listening to slightly pretentious rock is fairly harmless as teenage vices go.

Tom Saywer is ok. The 2 good songs I meant were Working Man and Temple of Syrinx (spelling?)

If they had more rock like those songs they could have been better. Most of their stuff is too pop for me.

The Wild play in Vancouver tomorrow. I can see them dropping both games. They look really bad. It is really a shame we did not get a point vs the Oilers, likely could have wrapped up a spot with a win tomorrow and thus rest players Tuesday.

Wild have the tiebreaker over us but we have it over the Flames.

Brings all those shitty games we should have won in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb into focus if we blow this

If the Flames win out from here on and make it, I'd say they are ready for the playoffs.
