We are actually in a better spot relative Pitt then the Rags or even Philly. We have 4 points with two games in hand.
We don’t have any games in hand on Philly or Rags.
That’s true, I just think there’s a better chance that those two teams end up out of the playoffs before Pittsburgh does.
I would be pretty happy with at least one of the Rangers, Capitals and Pens out of the playoffs this year. And in that exact order.
The Rangers aren’t that good of a team. Their PDO is higher than ours and they still have 4 fewer points than us. Their shooting percentage is a bit higher than ours. They also get outshot a lot. The Islanders PDO (coming into today) was higher than ours too, and I’m assuming with them still scoring 4 goals tonight,
It didn’t drop a whole lot. They have a ridiculous PDO, even with their junk goalies. Their shooting percentage was almost 11%.
The Capitals are a waste of a playoff spot at this point. Both the Rangers and Pittsburgh being out of it might be their best bet to do something. And they’ll probably still lose in the first round, or win a nail biter in the first round and lose to someone in round two.
