[Jozay]

[saffronleaf]

Damn.. JVR of course you play amazing in the 2nd half of your contract year! 15 goals in his past 24 games/22 points in his past 24. 18 goals in the previous 51, 31 points in that span.

lmao can't fault the guy for being smart

 

[BertCorbeau]

Just have to win one more game. Isles, Jets, Sabres, Devils, and Habs IIRC.

Jets and Devils will be tougher tests but the other three should be okay.

 

[Superstar]

whats the song?

From Slap Shot the movie soundtrack:

 

[Popeye7735]

Why isn't it a clinch tho? What does Philly have to do with us. They can't come to our Division only Florida.

Florida wins out to 99 points and same wins. We would have the tie break.

I have the same question. I believe we have secured the 3rd place of the Atlantic.

 

[Warden of the North]

Assuming Philly wins tonight, we clinch tomorrow if Ottawa somehow beats Florida

 

[Suntouchable13]

I have the same question. I believe we have secured the 3rd place of the Atlantic.

No, not yet. We need for Florida to lose one more point or us gaining 1 more and it's a wrap. Florida can still pass us with ROWs.

 

[Warden of the North]

I have the same question. I believe we have secured the 3rd place of the Atlantic.

No. Florida in theory could still tie us for points, then it would go to who has more ROW (Regular or Overtime wins).

But, I mean, Florida needs to win every remaining game and we need to lose all of ours

 

[Suntouchable13]

What do you mean? Even if Philly wins tonight, we can still clinch tomorrow if Ottawa wins. We'd clinch 3rd spot and not have to worry about any of the metro teams anymore. If Philly loses tonight, we clinch at least a wild card spot.

Leafs haven’t secured 3rd yet mathematically

 

[Warden of the North]

If Philly loses tonight in regulation we clinch tonight and tomorrow is irrelevant.

 

[Suntouchable13]

If Philly loses tonight in regulation we clinch tonight and tomorrow is irrelevant.

Tomorrow would still be relevant because we have not clinched 3rd yet. We would clinch at least a wild card but not 3rd place.

 

[Voodoo Child]

We have 99 points, with 5 games left.

If Philly wins tonight they max at 100. They make it if they win out.

Jersey as of now maxes at 100. They make it if they win out.

Florida maxes at 99, but could take us in ROW, if they win out.

We've for all intents and purposes clinched.

Some people edgy af, we lost to Buffalo sure, but were still 3rd in the east.

Well, if that happens then we do not make the playoffs. Philly and NJ would occupy the 2 wild card spots. We have pretty much clinched, yes, it's just a matter of math.

looool

He's gone July 1st whether he was good or bad this year so he might as well play like Tomas Holmstrom reincarnated.

 

[Daisy Jane]

thanks for nothing, Avs.

Varly + bernier both hurt.
we're not clinching tonight

 

[Pocket Hercules]

pretty sure Wilson admitted that he follows the leafs regularly, since being fired... don't quote me on that though

I wonder if he'd accuse Matthews after injuring his shoulder for not being in game shape, the same way he accused Carlo Colaiacovo after breaking his foot while blocking a shot?

 

[BertCorbeau]

looool

That's awesome

 

[Pocket Hercules]

He's gone July 1st whether he was good or bad this year so he might as well play like Tomas Holmstrom reincarnated.

I hope he grows a large enough ass 2 weeks from now.

 

[Warden of the North]

If Mackinnon doesnt score 5 goals tonight hes not league MVP

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Varly + bernier both hurt.

if Avs lose tonight their playoff chances drop to like 54%. If they win, they're up to 78%. Obviously they need a win more than we need them to

 

[BertCorbeau]

Also the Leafs are the only team in the NHL with three 30 goal scorers. And one of those players has missed 20 games.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I like the Avs a lot, but they've been a one line team all year relying on MacKinnon and goaltending to win them games. It was bound to run out eventually
