He's being obtuse.

There's something to be salvaged from a 9-game losing streak late in the season. Which is then mostly ruined by a worthless 3-game winning streak.

 

[Quick]

I have my harpoon ready.

Call me Ishmael.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Is Vancouver going to prepare for a parade?

Spoiler

that Tabris left the city?

 

[iLLmAtlc]

look at that nucks winning streak.

so this is what it feels like to put your hopes in the oilers winning games

 

[Line_HTX]

They're mostly likely going to win the two games against Edmonton now.

Fucking shit...

no

don't think like that!

 

[iLLmAtlc]

i'm hoping edmonton could be embarrassed enough from saturday to at least win the last game at rexall.

also hoping calgary continues beating on the nucks like usual. but then again suddenly ANH and LA have failed to. :|

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

If Ducks win the next 2 games, we win the division.

This is always a scary omen.

 

[MetatronM]

If the playoffs began today:

Flyers @ Capitals
Rangers @ Penguins
Islanders @ Panthers
Red Wings @ Lightning

Wild @ Stars
Blackhawks @ Blues
Predators @ Ducks
Sharks @ Kings

So far only the Washington Capitals and the Nashville Predators are locked into their specific slots.

Stupid Bruins.....

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I'm very OK with having the Preds as our first round matchup. I'd prefer the Sharks though.

Everyone would prefer the Sharks.

Spoiler

Because I said that, watch them win the Cup this year.

I would, too!

Spoiler

Preds aren't making it past the first round regardless of who they face.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

If/when the Wild play the Stars, I think it would be a fun series. For the most part, they are pretty even in 5v5 play. Don't have the number right now but IIRC they're almost identical goals for/against for both teams at full and even strength.

It's when they go into OT and the Stars get to roll the 3v3 line of Benn/Seguin/Klingberg that the Wild simply cannot keep up. Thankfully 3v3 isn't in the playoffs.

Not to mention that they remind me a lot of Colorado from two years ago. Better group of forwards, roughly the same skill in defense, worse goalie. Wild prevailed there, hopefully Wild can again.

Would be a fun series.

[Dubbedinenglish]

Bolts loss in any fashion and Cats win, Cats can clinch the ATL.

 

[Calamari41]

It's going to be really fucking weird in here when the playoffs start and the vast majority of posts are no longer about how much people want their own teams to lose.

Too bad the salt mine that is Calgary is going to be absent this year.

More than made up for by the impending Kings fan stampede, asking "Wait was that our guy? Are we the ones in black?" after they score a goal.

 

[Line_HTX]

Kings losing to shit teams is nothing new. They've been doing that the whole year.

I'm just fucking pissed that the Oil Shitbags are still alive and well.

 

[User 479360]

Wow. There's still a chance for the Leafs to get last place. The Oilers just need to not be futile for one or two games, which I know will be tough. But maybe playing the Canucks, and playing the final game at Rexall will do the trick.

Here's hoping.

But the Leafs need not be the Leafs, too, and not shoot themselves in the foot.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Go Rangers! (part 2)

Leafs can also just lose the last 3 games in regulation to get last.

 

[LevelNth]

So long as Calgary and Winnipeg get at least 1 point in their final 3 games, the Leafs will finish 3rd last at worst.

If the Leafs lose to Columbus either in regulation or OT/SO on Thursday, they cannot finish any worse than 2nd last.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

This is we get when every single Canadian team is shite.

 

[Parch]

It's a pretty big distraction with the last game at Rexall, but I have no doubt the Oilers can lose under any conditions.

Yeah that game against Columbus is absolutely huge. It pretty much guarantees one of a 29th or 30th finish. In Sparks we trust.

Too bad we wasted that call-up on Campbell (who has admittedly helped the tank considerably) because Stalock could have done a fine job

I said it's Thursday too and that's wrong, it's actually tomorrow night. Too bad it's at the ACC and not in Ohio.

The other two games are pretty decent situations for the Leafs too, as Philly on Thursday is a must win for them pretty much, and the final game is on the road.

[MetatronM]

The Rangers have called up Brady Skjei.

Pretty sure they're past the point of embarrassment at this point.

I welcome the salt

They're will be more salt in the off season thread during the draft then in here during the playoffs.

I see the starts going like this prob:

Columbus: Sparks
Philly: Bernier (on the end of B2B)
Jersey: Sparks

Realistically I can see them picking up one win there, ending the season at 69 points (1 point improvement over last season lol).

They're will be more salt in the off season thread during the draft then in here during the playoffs.

Yep

 

[DopeyFish]

i'm just going to shut my phone off on april 30th

seems best for my sanity

:lol

Especially if the Jets get to pick ahead of the Leafs.

 

[zroid]

I used up all my salt reserves when the Oilers won last year

don't think anything can happen which would elicit the same reaction. Maybe the Bruins.

 

[Line_HTX]

Sedins are complete doo-doo.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Gudbanson heading back to Florida with possible concussion. SMDH Leafs, always with the injuries.

Quick will have enough salt for multiple Leaf fans

Welp got tickets for the first two rounds. A pair for a western finals game and a single seat for home game #2 for the SCF.

Lets go stars

Excuse me son, but as a newb-ass hockey fan you don't have the right to say anything, let alone this garbage.

nah hes right they're doo doo

 

[Yawnier]

I look at the bottom 8-10 teams and if any one of them win the draft lotto there will be salt of some sort out there.

Except for Columbus
