I constantly have said they should hang a couple of banners for 2019

Like ''SWEPT PRESIDENTS TROPHY WINNER IN FIRST ROUND: 2018-2019''

''WON A PLAYOFF SERIES: 2018-2019''

I keep erroneously saying that 2019 is their only playoff series win, but it's actually not. They won the stupid bullshit play-in round in 2020 up in Toronto, which came in a year where I don't even think they were gonna make the playoffs if the actual season had played out? They were still on pace for a 95 point team, but that would have been good enough for 6th in the Metro that year, as hard as that is to believe. The Rangers were on pace for 93 points that year and a 7th place Metro finish. That was a WHACKY year even before the pause. Last year every East playoff team had 100 points, but 100 points wasn't actually needed to make the playoffs that year. I think the Islanders had the most points for a non-playoff team in the East and they had only 84 points. So a wild card team very well could have made it in with 90-92 points last year.

Anyway, I constantly forget they beat the Leafs in the play-in round that year. Which has also prolonged the Leafs number of years without a playoff series win.

That's just more fodder right there to fire Keefe and Dubas if they don't make it out of the first round this year, which I kept talking about last night.

play in round was not the playoffs (at least to me) ... it was a 'fair' compromise to artificially end the season with various teams on the bubble who played different numbers of games.

only ONE series win in 22 seasons

I got no hatred for CBJ. Would love for them to spoil the Penguins season! They suck too much for me to hate them.

I’m fine with this roster move is to gives Seigs some rest if he is banged up a little.
If it’s trying to fit Smith in to replace Seigs for the playoffs …. That’s a different story. I highly doubt thats the case though . But then again, Wood remains in the lineup for some unknown reason .

At this point in the season we shouldn't give too much importance to player rotation. They will want to make sure that all the players are ready to play if needed while also resting those who need it the most.

Thanks! Looks great on the computer but on the phone that green online thingy covers some of it up. I’ll have to play around with it.
