I'm rooting for Calgary just cause they lost Giordano. I thought they were done when that happened, so to get into the playoffs for them would be huge. Also rooting for the Jets cause...that city would go insane.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I am honestly rooting for all the Canadian teams (except the Habs because fuck them). I want a Calgary/Vancouver first round!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Winnipeg is just the best

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Take a look at the Panthers remaining schedule though. They have games against the Bruins (twice) and the Sens.

I know they're the long shot at this point, but I certainly wouldn't count them out yet.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Go Rangers....keep the Kings out.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Call me crazy, but I'm actually dying for a Kings/Hawks WCF rematch.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

biggest home and home of the season coming up this week between the sabres and coyotes.

basically the Eichel cup.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I just realized.

Kyle Chipchura is the 1st line center for the Coyotes.

That's... really something.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Both games will end 1-0 Sabres in the shootout, with Mike Weber accidentally scoring the GWG in both games.

The game on Thursday at FNC, the Sabres fans in attendance will throw hard objects at him as he leaves the ice.

On Monday, it comes down to Weber (the 18th shooter) again, and he tries to tap the puck well wide of the net, but Mike Smith leaps out and miraculously hooks the puck into the net, again giving Buffalo the "victory".

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That pass by Winnik, along with the rest of his play tonight, is precisely why I was bummed when the Avs traded him.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

This race in the Central is just way too close. Getting ridiculous at this point. If StL loses, and Nashville loses....it's just absurd.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

As I say that, St Louis and Nashville score.

Dumb.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Now watching the FLA game, and it hit me that Jagr is older than the COMBINED age of his linemates, Barkov and Huberdeau.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol

you were right!


team looks good heading into the end of the year

vanek starting to put up points

dubnyk may have one of the best records since joining wild

Re: The NHL Thread
 

God damnit.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Almost time for the annual avatar change (back) to the Blue Jays. If the Oilers ever figure out how to make the playoffs (lolz) the hockey avatar can last a little longer.

Really looking forward to the playoffs though, there are going to be some great matchups!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I think I came in and admitted my mistake a few weeks back. He has been great, but the team seemed to pull their heads out of their asses too. Maybe getting consistent goaltending helped that, i dunno.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

rangers looked great for the first 6 minutes. thought it was going to be a blowout.
the next 54, not so much

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Wings who can't play well are starting to get injuries. No Kronwall last night, lose Cole in game and still without Datsyuk.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Hawks and Blues with two games in hand on the Preds is huge. Plus, we have a couple more tilts with STL. Gonna be an insane finish.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

It would have been huge if they both didn't come back and win last night. Now it's just status quo. Even if the Hawks win both those games in hand they have, they still are in 3rd in the division.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Not the worst news in the world for the Wings. Kronner is day to day they just kept him out to be safe and Cole will miss 3 games with an "upper-body injury" which is his neck by the looks of last night. Pavel better be back tomorrow though. Sucks I won't be able to see Cole on Saturday. He was starting to find his spot with the Wings.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Chris!!!!!

I'm going to the game tonight. Hope you don't beat us too bad. Will we even score???

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I would enjoy it as well if we come out on top. If we blow 5 2 goal leads against them again though I will lose it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

We'll finish ahead of Nashville. I think we'll be tied with them come Saturday afternoon. We obviously take care of business tonight and Friday, but they have road games in Tampa and DC. We got a game with Buffalo still and then hopefully pull off a split with the Blues. The rest is a toss up. Winnipeg and Varlamov have had our number all season so those are some iffy games. I just don't see Nashville beating us out.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Nashville, Detroit and Anaheim all done in round one the way things are going right now for those teams.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Yeah, do top teams even want to finish first or second right now? :lol

Very curious about the arena.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Enjoy! Hoping to see Vermette tally his first goal as a Hawk. He's been playing good hockey, just hasn't put the puck in the net yet.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

ducks gonna put the bruins on the ropes tomorrow and the rangers are gonna knock em out Saturday afternoon.

Atleast they'll have a 1.5% chance at connor mcdavid in the draft!!!
