Only thing that ever matters is whatever the did in the past.

I don't have anything against the Ducks. Just feels like a team ripe for an early upset to me.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Wow, Penn St just beat Michigan in double OT in the Big10 quarters. Huge upset. For some reason Penn St has played Michigan tough all year.

 

[Bill Brasky]

I wonder if Michigan even gets in now. Could put them out.

That shows them as tied for 16th in pairwise rankings? Doesn't look good for them.

I'm hoping Vermont sneaks in.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I read they were about 95 percent with a win, but only about 22 percent with a loss.

Penn State outshot Michigan by a good margin, Not a fluke.

 

[JaxBill]

Stars are really struggling now

 

[Premier]

Bishop going back to back and he played Monday too.

Bolts may as well just waive Lindback now.

 

[JaxBill]

Stars are really struggling now

Never mind.

Mason made a couple of great saves when Flyers were had 2 man disadvantage, Stars finally breakthru on second PP.

 

[Billy Bats]

Flyers in a groove. 12-3-1 in their last 16, 4 straight against Pitt(2), Chicago and Dallas. St Louis on deck.

You lose to Penn State you deserve to be out

So that piece of #### James Neal is up to his old tricks. Just back from being out with a concussion, I sure hope he doesn't get another one.

Man the Oilers are really terrible

Thank god

Detroit hanging on to their playoff hopes with a goal in OT with zero time on the clock.

San Jose and St. Louis leading the divisions. ugh. last two teams the Wild want to face

I wonder if the Wild will ever learn how to play on the road.

Flyers sign Robert Haag to entry level contract - going to Adirondack?

Fkyers sign Haag; he will report to Phantoms.

Team statement on Hagg

The Philadelphia Flyers announced that they have agreed to terms with 6-2, 204-lb defenseman Robert Hagg, according to general manager Paul Holmgren.

Hagg will travel to North America on Monday and report to the club's American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old Hagg was selected by the Flyers in the second round (41st overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

He appeared in 50 games for MODO of the Swedish Hockey League where he had a goal and five assists for six points to go along with 47 penalty minutes.

He also played for Sweden in the World Junior Championships, helping lead the team to the Gold Medal game.

Interesting that they're pulling him from the Swedish elite league. Have read that his minutes have decreased, maybe they want him to play more and get accustomed to the NA game faster? I doubt he has a chance at a roster spot next season.

They looked ok in LI

If anybody is still confused on how the playoffs work this season, no worries. The people at the PGH post gazette have them completely wrong in today's newspaper.

Top 3 in each division and then the next two highest point totals regardless of division get the wildcard. What's so difficult?

It's Pittsburgh, they're still trying to figure out offsides and icing, cut them some slack.

Nice win Rangers!

 

[rockaction]

Colorado pulled their goalie down 2-0 with five minutes left.

Never seen that one before.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Roy never afraid to be aggressive, I love it. After tonight I'm convinced Colorado should just always play with 6 skaters.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Calgary gives up 6 goals on 22 shots and are in the game. Madness.

Just a waste of time. To give out the same "penalties" for those two infractions including the past history and based on injury is a joke. Either let go of the instigator penalty or hand out the proper suspensions.

 

[Bill Brasky]

20 goals in 26 games for Stamkos. And was getting his legs back for a handful of those games. Shame he missed so much time.

 

[Premier]

I've never seen a team make as many horrid giveaways in their own zone as the Bolts.

Flyers in a groove. 12-3-1 in their last 16, 4 straight against Pitt(2), Chicago and Dallas. St Louis on deck.

St. Louis taken care of, 5 in a row. Kings up next.

If they can carry this into the playoffs, they're going to make a lot of noise.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If the Red Wings make the playoffs itr will be a minor miracle. Seven of the 18 skaters playing today came into the season with less than 50 NHL games under their belt, Babcock has done a terrific job with this group. Datsyuk has been out half the season and Z is out for the rest of the year most likely.

Nyquist!!!!!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Also, David Legwand has been terrific. He plays some great team defense and is one of the best forecheckers in the game. He also has provided a scoring punch, getting seven points in nine games as a Wing now.

Stephen Weiss was supposed to be back at the beginning of March and here we are in late March and he's still on the shelf. What a waste of money, $4.9 million in cap space for 26 games and four ####### points.

Still not sure we should have given up so much for him, but he certainly been playing well for us. Like I said at the time, I hope I was wrong.

Remarkable start to the dreaded 12 game stretch they're in the middle of going through. They're playing as well as anyone right now and outside of the Bs can beat anyone in the east. They're making me start to believe they can go on a serious run in the playoffs. Exciting times. And Raffl gets an extension for 2/2.2. Awesome deal for a guy that plays hockey the right way and is very versatile.
