Playoffs Watch

[Detroit Swed Wings]

Hasek started the playoffs. so he really wouldn't have rode the hot hand

That would be when we won the cup in 08, Hasek was yanked early on against Nashville and they rode Ozzie to the cup.

My mistake, too much beer the last couple of years. Didn't change my point though.

 

[Frk It]

If we do get in, who is our most likely opponent at the moment?

Patiently waiting to see how Cooper plays him.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

And that ****in other Philly game we lost is what's killing us right now. If we just won that game we'd be in right now and make it between Boston and them for the final wildcard.

How about the game we blew against the Habs last Monday?

I expected that Philly game to be a loss we never win @Philly.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

You know, I made a mental note when we got ****ed up in the very first game of the season that we played Montreal, when Petr got ran into and they still allowed the goal, that that game could be what decides the playoffs for us or not. And boy, if we miss, I'll definitely look back at that game bitterly.

Literally any game we lost this season could be used for that.

Especially the "gimme" games we lost against an AHL Toronto team, the BJs, the Habs. Lots of games we should have taken advantage of and didn't.

True but if they miss the reactionary fan in me would be more pissed about the games that were pulled from their hands rather than the ones that they let slip through their fingers.

But you're right if they miss they've got no one to blame but themselves.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I blame carolina

Washington

How about when Montreal scored on themselves and the goal did not count. Taking at least one point away from Detroit.

 

[jaster]

Flyers tie it up with a minute left.

 

[Pavels Dog]

And Philly ties it up. Our playoff hopes just took a massive nosedive.

 

[aar000n]

Dammit

 

[ap3x]

Of course they score...

 

[jaster]

And Philly ties it up. Our playoff hopes just took a massive nosedive.

Well that's a bit hyperbolic.

 

[kook10]

i need a drink

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Doesn't hurt us at all if they only get a point

 

[BazDaSpaz]

It does though.

 

[Puck possession wins]

Doesn't hurt us at all if they only get a point

They're playing Toronto

 

[obey86]

Blashill is a joke

 

[Pavels Dog]

Doesn't hurt us at all if they only get a point

Of course it does. If we lose against the Rangers we will now need Boston to lose against Ottawa or Philly to lose both of their games.

 

[joe89]

Well that's a bit hyperbolic.

Yeah, we need to win in the last game to feel good about ourselves and have some momentum anyway. No more scoreboard watching necessary really.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

They still hold their own fate regardless of what Philly or the Bruins do, get a ROW on Saturday and 3rd place is guaranteed. Also checking the standings the Rags might have an incentive to lose on Saturday cause if I were them I'd rather get the wildcard spot and face the Panthers rather then 3rd in metro and face the red hot pens.
