me too.

Flames are losing in round one.  Book it.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

huge test for Buffalo to get by Ottawa on the back end of a back to back on Thursday.  I have full confidence they can lose it.  this team is unbelievably clutch right now.  haven't even won a game in regulation since the trade deadline...amazing

giving the Lightning a run for best season ever.

if you're going to miss the playoffs, might as well finish as low as f'n possible.

they've lost 16 of their last 17 games with the only win coming in a shootout! just magical.

When is the draft lottery and what chance will  the Hawks likely have for first pick?

Lottery will be held on April 9th this year.

Last night was a great gift from LA.  Beat Arizona to greatly assist in Colorado getting wildcard spot and their win guarantees Colorado a top 4 pick.

Took about 15 tries to get the Wings at #1, most had them losing at least one spot.  Stupid win streak.

Pretzels and Vodka?

Interesting development

If the Red Wings and Sabres get into a 3 point game, the Rangers could end up in 4th if they lose their last two

#fingers crossed

@IC FBGCavMy son is so excited.  Congrats to the Canes!

 

[rascal]

Colorado wins!  

 

[ffldrew]

Colorado wins!  

I swear to god if they get another too many men penalty I'm going down to the bench and beating the crap out of someone.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

@IC FBGCavMy son is so excited.  Congrats to the Canes!

I bought two tickets on eBay the day of the game and a buddy and I sat about five rows behind one of the goals for the Canes’ Game 7 OT win in Boston in 2009.

Hard to believe that was their last series win and last playoff appearance. And only other playoff appearance since winning the SC in ‘06.

 

[Zegras11]

Maaaaaa......
























Maaaaaaaaa.

The draft!  When's the draft?!?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

anyone else want to do it? or at least start the thread?

If anyone wants to sweat with me over these last two nights, here's the situation in my total points pool.

1st place - NV - 4,815 pts

2nd place - SENSationals - 4,764 points - 3rd is distant.

This pool is $50 entry and $5/transaction, 15 teams. 1st place wins $1386, 2nd place $577.50 - I'm about $200 in with the fee and 30ish transactions.

I'm close to maxed out at most positions, he has GP left on. Most guys average around 4 fantasy points per game, best guys average 6, a good night one guy can get 10+ or even 20+ (Pastrnak's 5 point effort the other night).

So I'm +51 points with this left

• FRI  -Bobrovsky
  
• SAT - Bobrovsky
  
• Larkin
  
• Marchand
  
• DeBrusk
  
• Pastrnak
  
• Nurse 
  
• Pulock
  
• CMiller (or Muzzin or Schultz)
  
• Svechnikov (rookie spot)
  

He has to gain 51 on me with

• FRI JCampbell
  
• Toews
  
• Jenner
  
• SJones
  
• SAT Andersen
  
• Lehner (maybe McElhinney) 
  
• Toews
  
• Barkov
  
• Tkachuk
  
• RSmith
  
• Kucherov
  
• Stone
  
• Trouba
  
• SJones
  
• Weber
  
• Chabot
  
• Lindblom (rookie)
  

So he has 17 guys, I have 10, I should still have the advantage, if we average out at 5 points each... but I've convinced myself he's going to pass me.

Yea glad to not have to deal with Price in round 1.

you get to deal with Cav

Carolina and Columbus will be tough outs. Montreal was a much better option

I get they are better teams but I don’t want the hall of famer stealing a series. 

 

[Capella]

Love the thread title, and also, no team has ever won more games in a season than your Tampa Bay Lightning. 

 

[Capella]

+103 goal differential 

If they lose in the playoffs I’m pretty much just going to go walk the earth. 

 

[Zegras11]

Seattle Mariners say hi.

sucks more to do that well and not win the cup.  I had no expectations of the Ducks doing well this year.

Ah what are you gonna do. I don’t control any of this. It’s been an amazing year and hopefully they win the whole thing. Kid is still getting up at 7 am either way. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

I get that, but Bob is hot right now and Cav could throw a soft pretzel on the ice at any moment in Raleigh and change the series

Lol. It’ll be fine. If they can’t beat Columbus then

Red Wings with a clutch finish to the season

 

[Bill Brasky]

Lol. It’ll be fine. If they can’t beat Columbus then  

of course, they will be big favorites against anyone in the east.  I’m just saying I would pick Montreal if I had a choice

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Nobody wants anything to do with facing Ryan Poehling right now.

guy could barely score in the NCHC and then does that.  probably to his own disadvantage though since Habs fans will extrapolate him into Guy Lafleur during the offseason 

 

[Bill Brasky]

never thought the Wild could be this clutch and not score a goal in their last two games.  stupid Flyers were just as clutch though.

cant wait for the Wild to win the lottery and then have Fenton pick a guy no one has in their top 100.  not too often you see 1st round picks get lost in the 2nd tier Swedish league

Dude, the Rangers took Lias Anderson with the 7th pick. No one over values bad Sweedes like the Rangers. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

Dude, the Rangers took Lias Anderson with the 7th pick. No one over values bad Sweedes like the Rangers. 

Lias Andersson threw his U20 WJC silver in the stands because he wanted gold so bad and has already burned rookie status before the age of 21.

meanwhile, Phil Johansson is an undersized defensive defenseman not even playing in the best Swedish league who no one has even heard of, including the Swede WJ coaches.

not even Sather can out Fenton, Fenton

He had one shot on goal in being shut out last week by AIC ... which would have been dubbed America’s Team had that moniker not already been claimed.

 

[Chemical X]

went with cav last night and while i predicted 2-1, he said 7-5.  i didn’t realize the rangers were this awful.  i mean, i know they are bad, but this was epically bad from a team that hasn’t been this bad in a while.  i think the canes are a playoff team if one of these goalers step up.

prophetic

 

[JaxBill]

The year is 2031.  The Vancouver franchise has named Todd McLellan manager, thus giving McLellan the distinction of managing every Western conference team.

Sounds like Voracek and Ghost better know a real estate agent.
