GDT: Game 82: Detroit Red Wings @ New York Rangers: Just Bring It Edition

[Laser Rayzor]

Who do the Wings play if the scores hold up?

Tampa

 

[KJoe88]

I hate teaser goals.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

This team still sucks and wouldn't even be making the playoffs if it wasn't for Ottawa can't even beat a depleted Rangers team.

We get beat by a Tampa team missing all of its good players.

 

[BeersHockey]

2 goals on 19 shots and he has no blame?

You are joking, or course. First goal probably should have been stopped, but it was a perfect shot. Second goal puck had eyes. Howie made some great saves today.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Blash doesn't really deserve it TBH

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

I will withhold comment until we see how the TB series goes. I would comment right now if we were playing WSH

I can already see your comment. They're likely to get bombed by Washington, so you'd rather like the 1% chance at a high pick than the 5-10% chance they could knock off a team like Washington.

 

[BinCookin]

Nope. At 3rd in Atlantic best we can hope for is #20.

you sure about that?

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Who do the Wings play if the scores hold up?

Tampa

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Could be 2-2 now but Trashill wants to lose.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

No possession goalie pull is never a good idea.

 

[NervousPerson]

Where's our standard game management PP to the trailing team, or is that just against the Wings?


ABBY!!!

 

[odin1981]

Doesn't that depend on points? And what the Flyers do.

Nope seeding in division is a tiebreaker for pick order so all 4 wc teams are ahead of us best we can go for is #19 I believe.

 

[Sami]

Hooray!

 

[theYman]

Abby!

There's the teaser

 

[Flowah]

This has to do wonders for morale going into the playoffs.

Jesus. We have been far more lucky than good the last few years to get in.

Saw a stat that we made the playoffs on April 9 for 2 years in a row. Could be 3 after today.

Lucky than good. Understatement.

 

[Ezekial]

Yay they were just trolling us

 

[SpookyTsuki]

50 point man!!!!!!

 

[Fergei Sedorov]

 

[Sami]

Z 50 pts?

 

[YostisHome]

Good call!

 

[KJoe88]

pp...

 

[Ezekial]

Haha no way!

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Greatest shot the world has ever seen

The 14 teams who did not make the playoffs are eligible for the draft lottery, with the teams with lower total regular sesason points receiving more number combinations, and the winner gets the first overall pick. The rest of the picks are determined by reverse order of elimination from the playoffs, with the Stanley Cup winner receiving the last pick. For teams that were eliminated in the same round, the teams with the lower regular season point total gets the higher pick. All of the subsequent rounds are ordered in the same manner

If this is correct, it's in order of points. So conceivably the two wildcards could be Metro teams with more points (like the Flyers).
