Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
The Jets and the Avalanche are highly likely to face each other in the upcoming first round of the playoffs. Today, Winnipeg just edged Colorado 7-0. One wonders how that carries over into the playoffs.

That race for the last Eastern WC spot is nuts.

Is following that up by blowing a three-goal lead in the third period bad? Asking for a friend. (Hertl was huge today. If Stone is healthy when he comes back Vegas should maybe be the favorite to win the Cup.)

Yeah, I keep saying, "well, there goes that opportunity" for the Caps and then they claw back a win. Been going on like this for weeks.

Who the fuck is "Sportico"? (Edit: As in, this doesn't seem legit.)
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

That link says they are leaving their name and logo in Phoenix, presumably for a future expansion team.
I wonder what they'll nickname the team? Something that says, "Utah" I guess? Hmm... "Jazz" is already taken..., maybe the Utah Zydeco? Or, the Utah Hiphop? SLC Punk?

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Ok I don’t get goalie interference again. Especially that second one they disallowed (Preds @ Pens)
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I don't get the second one at all. First one Bunting had skate on his stick but it's like...he also had the puck, so who the fuck knows. It's too bad because they are flying tonight.

Kuch up to 99 assists. Only three players have ever hit 100. He and McDavid about to both do it.
Hart voting is going to be insane this year. Crosby dragging the Pens into contention. MacKinnon doing crazy things in Denver. Matthews about to hit 70 goals!

Lucas Fucking Raymond.
Ties it with a little over a minute to go in regulation after the Wings rally from 4-1, tacks on the gamer with under 25 seconds left in OT.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I’d like to preemptively point out that the rangers going over the cap in the playoffs doesn’t count the same because I really hope they don’t and it won’t be possible for me to enjoy any games with Chytil right now. Horrible Lindros in 2000 vibes.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Caps control their fate...which means they will blow it tonight. And I was looking forward to an avatar bet with Mr. D in round one.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Vegas beating Edmonton, then Vancouver, then Winnipeg, then Toronto to win another Stanley Cup is a possible outcome that would set Canadian media outlets on fire.

The cool thing is that they're doing a lot of the heavy lifting with the Hershey guys. Sucks that Malenstyn got taken out by such a shitty late hit. That guy has been playing really well down the stretch.

Yeah, I was on here the other day pretty much complimenting the officials for a hit that took one of our key players out.That was the right call.
But the fact that none of the officials saw the hit is a testament to how late it was.

As I told a Pens fan friend last night after seeing this, "This seems factually inaccurate, as I have watched a decent amount of Detroit hockey this season."

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
It's also a little weird bc the Caps have the tiebreaker on Detwah. I guess the fact that DET is playing a team wo any real motivation while WAS is away to a team with a puncher's chance moves the needle.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I can definitely see Montreal being motivated after giving up a 4-1 lead to the Wings last night, especially when they are now at home.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:51 am It's also a little weird bc the Caps have the tiebreaker on Detwah.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
That was a good hard gut-punch seeing that score after the Pens won, only to be eclipsed by the Caps and Wings losing tonight and then the Pens losing to the Isles tomorrow.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:56 amI can definitely see Montreal being motivated after giving up a 4-1 lead to the Wings last night, especially when they are now at home.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 11:51 am It's also a little weird bc the Caps have the tiebreaker on Detwah.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I hate to get hung up on some dude's tweet, but it sure seems pretty plausible that a motivated Flyers team beats the Caps and then Detroit shit the bed. Both Philly and Pittsburgh have, IMO, pretty OK odds right now. Not owning their path, sure, but it's not like some of the NFL scenarios where Team A needs, like, 4 other things to click in place for them to have a shot.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Flyers need a win and two other losses so, even if those games were all coin flips, that's 12.5%, right? Add in their need to win in regulation against a better team plus DET/PIT facing teams with nothing to gain and that's probably a good estimate, give or take a few percentage points.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Seems kind of insane that a shootout could determine a playoff berth. (Washington gets in even with a SO win.)

And the Flyers will have to pull their goalie in regulation if it stays 1-1.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Red Wings score with 3 seconds left to force OT.
ETA: that eliminates the Flyers as well.
