Around the NHL 2017-18: Stanley Cup Playoffs

I'm probably wrong, but most Muslims might consider themselves a "race" in the same way that Jewish people consider themselves a race.

Obviously, there are exceptions, like converts, but the gist is the same.

I don't want this thread to get off the rails but I think the big difference is that the Jewish faith typically didn't seek converts while Islam does (The same would be my opinion if someone was to claim Christians were a race).

GO HOME PENGUINS U ARE DRUNK.

That's fair. I agree with that.

You are aware that Muslim is a religion and not a race right? In the former Soviet republics and the Balkans there are tons of Muslims who are Caucasian (EG: the Boston Marathon bombers who were both white).

Technically Islam is the religion...a Muslim is someone who follows it.

And no...i am completely unaware of what you said....thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Man, Carolina has two true tank Commanders with Darling and Ward in net these days. They can't stop a beachball.

6 goals in two periods.

He is having an incredible season. Incredible as in not good.

The Good:
Detroit up 2-1 on Flyers
Islanders up 2-1 on Pens
Edmonton up 6-3 on the Canes

The Bad:
Ottawa down 3-1 vs Panthers

Hopefully Chicago beats the Avs, and Vancouver beats the Knights.

No other game really has any impact.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Avs own Chicago

Not much hope there

 

[Irishguy42]

Flyers now down 3-1.

Ottawa down 4-1.

 

[GregSirico]

Flyers now down 3-1.

Ottawa down 4-1.

Ottawa should just fold shop.

I would think we want the Panthers to win so it increases the chance that the Devils don't make the playoffs.

Panthers would be 1 point behind the Devils with a game in hand. Blue Jackets beat the Rangers tonight and they will be up 5pts on the Devils in the 7th seed.

 

[GregSirico]

I smell a Penguin comeback ... this is the Islanders people.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I smell a Penguin comeback ... this is the Islanders people.

3-1 Islanders now.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Oilers won yay! Panthers are smoking Ottawa.

 

[GAGLine]

I don't think there's any chance we finish lower than 7th. Just too many points for Montreal, Ottawa and Detroit to make up. I'd rather see Philly win and stay ahead of NJ. Hopefully NJ loses to SJ.

 

[GregSirico]

Ugh Philly tied it.

 

[Irishguy42]

Never count on Detroit T_T

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Only teams I can see passing the Rangers are the Islander, Blackhawks and Oilers. Would put the Rangers are 7th worst which would give them a 21% chance to pick top 3 and about a 7% chance of getting #1. Worst pick would be #10 In that case right?

 

[Nickmo82]

McDonagh got his first non-Ranger point/goal.

 

[ThirdEye]

Wow, Tampa came back from down 0-3 to lead 4-3. McDonagh with a beautiful snipe along the way

 

[Bob Richards]

Never count on Detroit T_T

They've really crashed into the water

and then someone set the ocean on fire.

Yes, 7th worst means that 10th overall is the worst pick they could get.

 

[ThirdEye]

McDonagh got his first non-Ranger point/goal.

He had a goal against Ottawa

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Wings and Hawks at it again!

 

[Edge]

There are several teams, like Detroit, Chicago and Carolina, who look like they couldn't win a game if the opposing team pulled their goalie for the first two minutes of a period.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I don't understand why Scott Darling continues to get starts.
