Around the League XXX: Oilers make the playoffs and Wings miss

[clydesdale line]

Jimmy Vesey will be a healthy scratch tonight.

Can't believe he only has 26 points. One of the most overhyped college players ever.

Still early, but not an impressive season from him.

Blues fall in the shootout to the lowly Avs, but that's good enough to put them two points ahead of Nashville. Calgary meanwhile is three points ahead of Nashville (albeit having played one more game than the Preds) and only a single point behind the Sharks for third in the Pacific due to their collapse.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Christian Dvorak scored an absolutely filthy goal against the Caps tonight.

 

[x Tame Impala]

So it's looking more and more like Hawks v Preds in the first round? Alright alright alright

oh what could have been

 

[JaegerDice]

oh what could have been

....he's the pick we gave away for Antoine Vermette, wasnt he?

Ill take the cup, thanks.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Rundblad I believe.

 

[JaegerDice]

Rundblad I believe.

Ah. Well, no guarentee the Blackhawks would have chose him anyway, and Blackhawks are doimg fine without him.

 

[clydesdale line]

Rundblad I believe.

It was indeed Rundblad. Stan can't win em all.

 

[Blue Liner]

No guarantee but highly likely. Doing fine without but sure would be nice to have. Greater is point is it came at the cost of...Rundblad. That's lemon juice on a gaping wound is what that is. Like it was said, Bowman can't with them all. Still sitting rather nicely as an organization right now.

Hawks lock up 1st place in division and conference thanks to wild loss

Yeah they would have picked Dvorak for sure. He's a local kid and we know how much Bowman loves those.

In other news the Hawks clinched top spot in the west with the wild getting blanked by the preds today. Nashville needs 1 point in the next 4 games to clinch a playoff spot and eliminate the Kings.

 

[ndgt10]

Looks like Nashville will be the opponent. Not a very nice present for the 1 seed.

 

[Hawkaholic]

There is no easy way in the West.

 

[TLEH]

it was Rundblad and it was a local kid. Bet they took him.

 

[JaegerDice]

Looking at his juniors stats now and, yeah, ouch. That hurts. He's probably at least a 40pt guy on a good team.

 

[TLEH]

He's got some nice size, a great shot, soft hands, I could see him putting up 50-60 eventually. His vision is unreal.

He's NHL average as far as size. Toews is bigger than him.

But yeah, if you score 2 pts per game in junior, you're probably good for at least 40 in the NHL, even if you were playing alongside Marner and Domi.

 

[TLEH]

To me, he looks bigger than 6'0. He isn't huge, but seems super strong on his skates.

 

[Putt Pirate]

I thank the Wild for being the usual Wild in March/April.

Yikes, Neuvirth collapsed in net during a break in the action. At least sounding like he was responsive in the immediate aftermath, though.

Any diagnosis yet?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Just ill, I guess.
