GDT: Game 80: Red Wings at leafs 7:00 pm et 4/13/24 (BSD, ESPN+)

Lol.
If we have more points than Metro 3rd, it also means that we have more points than any of the metro teams pushing. It simply means we get the WC2 spot.

Right. Double down, triple down.

That's the way she goes here.

 

[LarKing]

Didn't they have 1 top three pick?

Lottery picks was a bad word to use there. More like core of high picks who have hit

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Speaking of our highest picks of the last 10 years, Zadina is having a great 23 point season this year.

 

[14ari13]

Reimer is 7-2 in his last 9, Lyon is 1-10 in his last 11. Husso is out?
My man DeBrincat is heating up. 3 assists, then 2 goals and he provided us that late PP which we scored on. Obviously playing with red hot Raymond and Larkin helps.
Beautiful goal by Edvidson. He seems like the most confident player on our team.

I am glad for the guys we won. They were obviously very happy they won and they were celebrating as they won the cup. Good and entertaining to see.

I loved and hated the hit by Veleno. That is the kind of physical play they should have deployed in the games vs caps and pens. It seems to me they perform a bit better in emotional games than the structured ones.

Go wings

Great win, though this game scared the shit out of me.

Philly’s final game is against Washington. We have to cheer them on for a regulation win and that makes me feel gross.

Detroit needs to win both games, Washington needs to lose both, Philly needs to win one. Or NYI need to lose their next two, and Washington can’t get more than a point, and Detroit needs at least 3 points to clinch.

What other combinations ensure Detroit makes it?

 

[GMR]

Wings 67% chance to make playoffs with that win, Caps 20%, Pens 12% according to the intermission of the Bs Pens game.

If the Bruins win

How did they come up with that percentage? I thought the Capitals were still ahead of us?

I assume based off remaining schedule - Detroit on paper has by far the easier close.

Thats just good drafting i guess

Well Philly only got that Caps game left. If Caps lose that one or against Bruins we got it back in our own hands again. But we need to win both really.

Remaining games:

Islanders(90 points):
@ Devils
Vs Penguins

Caps(87 points):
vs Bruins
@ Flyers


Flyers(87 points):
vs Caps


Penguins(86 points):
Currently losing vs Bruins
vs Predators
@ Islanders

I just reposted the graphic they had on the screen right after the Wings win, had the Caps, Wings at 87 points currently. Wings have 39 wins, Caps have 38 wins. I'm not great with figuring the math so I can't confirm their percentages.

No. One of Wash/Phi is guaranteed 2 points, they play one another. Red Wings need at least 3 points in the last 2. And hope Wash loses their other game. I wouldn't call it an easy close

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Uh oh, 4-3 Bruins now.

 

[stillwater]

Regulation wins is the tie breaker. Det loses it to philly and wash no matter what

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Also Wings have Montreal twice, Caps face Boston then Philly, maybe the matchups factor in also.

Again, that's if the Penguins lose this game. Those numbers change a lot if the Pens manage a comeback or to bring it to overtime and get a point tonight.

I just mean statistically they have better odds of winning out and I assume that plays into the odds listed.

 

[stillwater]

Yes, if the Wings win both, Washington would need to win both. But yes, the Pittsburgh game tonight is huge as well

 

[LarKing]

Thats just good drafting i guess

They did well but it's a lot easier to do well when you're winning a lottery and getting that many top 5/10 picks

 

[OneMoreTry]

Last second dagger would have been epic. Don't settle for the loser point.

So great we took our timeout before that last faceoff. Oh, wait...

 

[MabusIncarnate]

So great we took our timeout before that last faceoff. Oh, wait...

But we won? And they killed the penalty that they took the timeout during. Idk why you'd think it would be a good idea to hold onto the time out just in case we got a PP and had a chance with 10 seconds to go, weird thing to whine about.

 

[nbwingsfan]

What a game , Red Wings played like it was playoffs, I don't know why Toronto played like it was playoffs. It was the worst Kane game that I saw with Red Wings.
Big mistake by Yzerman not letting Edvinsson play entire season with Red Wings

Edvisson has become, by a large margin, our 2nd best D.. I won’t be shocked if by the end of next season we’re seeing some speculation of who our real #1D is

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Kane’s body language is just atrocious

He might be hurt.

Edvisson has become, by a large margin, our 2nd best D.. I won’t be shocked if by the end of next season we’re seeing some speculation of who our real #1D is

And we need this. Two Cornerstones on the back end

 

[MabusIncarnate]

5-3 Bruins!!

5:50 left in the 3rd

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Boston. Beat Washington next please.

 

[stillwater]

Yeah. The hockey gods sparing the Wings from the guillotine.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Bruins pouring on the pressure now also, Pens are on their heels. 3:30 left.
