Around the NHL 2017-18: Stanley Cup Playoffs

[nyrage]

The Oilers had a 3 on 1 with McDavid and couldn't get a shot on net. NYR West.

 

[nyrage]

Now Lucic misses an empty net. sigh

 

[nyrage]

McDavid is young enough to finish this game with a 15-minute shift.

People say you don´t need great goaltending to win the Stanley Cup. Well, you do need good enough goaltending to play for the Cup in the first place.

Ironically they have statistically one of the best goalies in the league...but play Allen instead...

Edmonton ... can't you do anything right?

 

[nyrage]

They've been buzzing, but can't find the back of the net.

 

[bl02]

why must we be tortured like this right to the very last moments just to get the 8th spot in the draft?!

 

[Svenhart2008]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t a point enough for Edmonton to pass us?

not enough we beat them so we own tie breaker.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Blah. I thought goal differential was third tie breaker. Well that sucks. They cant buy one

 

[JayMan82]

I feel like Edmonton is just toying with us now...

I was off on that one. I thought the first tie breaker was wins.

 

[Svenhart2008]

They came so close a few times already. Matter of time before VAN scores

 

[Svenhart2008]

I think it is. But both teams have 31 row

 

[trilobyte]

McDavid (and Eichel also) will probably feel pretty low as they wind down this campaign. I hope they don't become pessimistic. Making big $$ can't soothe something like the seemingly hopeless path their teams have followed.

i'm pretty sure I read that the hawks would pass us if they tied us in points. The oilers would have to win

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Isnt tie breaker WINS?

Not head to head?

 

[Svenhart2008]

Isnt tie breaker WINS?

Not head to head?

I thought ROW?

 

[Phoicon]

"The first three tiebreakers are regulation and overtime wins (ROW), points in their season series (excluding the first home game for the team that has the extra game), and goal differential for the season."

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

How sad is it that I’m more emotionally invested in this EDM - VAN game than I’ve been for a Rangers game in weeks?

 

[nyrage]

Oh come on, they let everything go, but now call the retaliation penalty.

 

[bl02]

Cagiula you f***ing idiot

 

[Svenhart2008]

Not one clear
