Around the League - Is it Playoffs Yet?

Cold as ice Taylor lol.

Bettman did have the chance to come out behind the curtains and give the lottery ball to Arizona like he did with Pittsburg...but he figured an American kid could sell the game to the rest of the USA playing in the hockey mecca of the world that is Toronto. I mean, look, 2 years after Toronto got Matthews, there's an expansion team in Vegas, and another coming to Seattle.

That would have been way, way, way, too obvious! This way, he gets to troll us Leaf fans by giving us Matthews, then, after a few seasons, Matthews will bolt from us to his home town team and rip our hearts out in the process! Book it!

I agree, Florida and Detroit have been winning along with us. I would feel a lot better if they went on a little cold streak. The point difference is deceiving with the games in hand.

If the Leafs were to g0 just .500 in the remaining 20 games, Florida would have to go .769 to catch up.

Gudbranson signed for 3 years at 4 million AAV. the guy is even worse than Polak

It’s ridiculous. The eye test says he’s slow and clumsy, the stats show him to be terrible. Everyone should agree he’s lousy.

He’s going to get some negative blowblack on this honesty, but I really appreciate it. It’s time folks call a spade a spade when to comes to the Oilers.

2 nil oilers!

That probably brings us a bit closer to playing the Bruins in the first round.

Yeah I mean I’m hoping we can have home ice vs them. I do agree that Tampa is likely out the question to catch.

There are too many remaining to say that with a certainty. We still have two games remaining against them. Those are four point swings. We have an easier schedule having played our tough games in December and January.

It will go down to the wire.

Man what ever happened to Klefbom and D Nurse, both these guys look so bad at times

 

[Leafs at Knight]

2 nil oilers!

And its gone

 

[MorrisSmit89]

the Oilers are pure trash lmao.. Krejci had all day to shoot that

 

[Suntouchable13]

f*** man, Boston is f***ing annoying. I think we'll be starting the playoffs down in Tampa, to be honest.

Oilers-itis

Wonder if Chia pulls a Chia, trades Klefbom in the off-season (because of his contract) and he flourishes elsewhere.

When you're getting bad goaltending and your team is that poorly defensively, everyone looks bad.

 

[Maplebeasts]

The Oilers are embarrassing. That is all.

 

[Maplebeasts]

**** man, Boston is ****ing annoying. I think we'll be starting the playoffs down in Tampa, to be honest.

Their schedule is about to get a lot more difficult than ours. We can still catch them if Freddy hangs on.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Oilers, man

 

[deletethis]

I'm gobsmacked by that Gudbranson contract. Every time I've seen him play, he looks like a marginal 3rd pairing defenseman. The Van GM gave up a young NHL forward and two draft picks for this player so he may be committed to see Gudbranson otherwise.

 

[I Believe]

Vancouver loses 5-4, giving up 5 pp goals. Tough way to lose.

It's why the Canucks won't be a good team anytime soon. Benning'd.

I do, too.
I really want to beat Boston because of 2013/2014 but it would be crushing to lose again.
We'll see how I feel after Saturday night

I miss some of those players that speak their minds. Not just the standard we need to work harder.
Ah the days when a Roenick/Chelios would just say whatever.

Gudbranson and the signing just scream Mike Komisarek to me.

the thing is. (and i love some snarky hockey players).
if he didn't get traded would he still be saying this?
if Devils and Oilers were in playoff positions,, would he say that?
if Oilers were in a player off position, and devils not...?

it's sort of like when Duchene shot off his mouth, and now look at Ottawa.
(now to be fair Hall and has been killing it for the Devils. but still).
