It's hilarious. They don't understand the concept of a hand pass (they were literally talking about having to look up the rule later), and one of them asked what ROW's were (in a discussion about tie-breaker stats for playoff spots/seeding). They seem to think that Rantanen hit Lindgren's stick causing the puck to go in, so Lindgren couldn't have had "possession" thus gifting MacK an assist. They keep going on and on about how they get angrier the longer post-game goes on, haha.

Yea, it’s probably us or Canes for 1 overall in the East. Even with the two games with the Bruins, the Canes have the easiest schedule left in the East.

If Chytil hadn't gone down, we'd probably be 73-0-0.

Jones has been really good but he was lost in OT tonight FWIW.

100% agree. Not too concerned about 3v3 play from him though as it matters zilch in the playoffs if they let him play (which they should).

The thing is, he has done offseason skating training. But maybe it would be time for someone in the organization to find the best hockey skating coach in North America, and tell Kakko this is who you are working with.

Seriously.... I hate that guy. He just does not seem likable in the least. I really have no idea what happened behind the scenes here but he just seems like a giant douche nozzle.....

They have 2 vs CBJ and a games against Chicago and Montreal.
Those are the 2nd, 4th and 6th worst teams in the league and they play one of them twice.
I will say, I thought with our injuries (albeit I thought Lindgren would be out) and with the way we played last game and the Avs lethargic perfomance at home against Montreal and the best team at home, I thought this would be an ugly loss. I figured we'd be down 2-0 or 3-1 after one and lose it something like 5-2. Despite the 3rd and OT getting away from them (didn't help that we were down our two best D-men for parts of the third and our best D-man in OT), this was a surprising and great outcome. We'll also see how strong this coaching staff is next game against Arizona. Trap game if I ever saw one.

Our remaining schedule is not easy and I don't care what the records say. Look at Arizona, most people would say that would be an easy game. Trust me. It is going to be anything but. They have won 5 of 7, just beat Nashville, and are 20-17 at home. If the Rangers take them lightly they will lose. They also have plenty of games left against teams fighting to get in.
BTW, for what it's worth I rather play a bunch of mediocre teams than Boston twice and some mediocre teams, and some shitty teams. The Rangers will be favored in every game going forward. The Boston games will be a coin flip for the Canes.

This is a bad hockey team.
Didn't look like it. He was back on the ice celebrating the win.

It's a double edged sword. Will the team be ready for the 1st round of the playoffs, when they have played nobodies for the last 10 games with nothing to play for. If we have nagging injuries, it will be a good time to nurse them during this last stretch. Load management?
Granted, the opposition in 1st round will most likely be facing the same thing.
According to the Colorado board, MacKinnon asked his coach to pull Georgiev in the OT to boost his chances of extending his point streak. That's just ridiculous. If that's true (and nobody over there is indicating that it isn't true), I just lost a bit of respect for MacKinnon (a player I've really admired for going about his business the right way).
I get the logic. Mediocre teams are in desperation mode, throwing everything at you in the hopes of squeaking into the last playoff spot. I'd rather face teams like that down the stretch rather than top teams who might be resting guys/taking it easy to be fresh for the playoffs, or bottom feeders who are already dreaming about their tee times. The opposing talent won't be the same, but the intensity may be.

Yet you still get the "Lindren is least valuable player", Trouba sucks, they can't beat anybody good, etc. Tiring.

I believe it was just a deflected puck to the face. He was back out on the ice for the postgame celebration.
