Again respectfully I have to disagree
The tank for mcdavid still had teams playing hard down the stretch
It’s the same every year

The four teams that are in contention to finish last (last 10 games):
1. Chicago 2-8-0
2. Columbus 3-6-1
3. Anaheim 2-7-1
4. San Jose 2-5-3
In 2014-15, Buffalo arguably did a "soft tank" going 4-13-3 in their last 20. They also traded away Myers and Stafford to Winnipeg, when they knew Evander Kane was out for the season. They also gave away a slew of players near or at the trade deadline for draft picks.
Players never play to lose, but management can manipulate a team, so they don't perform well. Even though the Sabres lost the lottery, they did end up with Eichel, who was the 2015 equivalent of Adam Fantilli.
Reading the Chicago HFBoards forum is interesting. Absolutely nobody want the Blackhawks to win. They are all of the opinion that the Hawks should do everything to ensure they come in last.

The Jets have a 2 point cushion on Calgary , Vancouver useless to us by the way, we play Calgary next week, we win that game and i think that's all she wrote for Calgary and we are at home and Calgary plays the night before, i like our chances especially if we play like last night.
Oh and i was the 6 beers girl last night. 
Man winning and scoring goals is fun.
Man winning and scoring goals is fun.Connor was worse than Scheifele defending last night, there was a couple of times in the 3rd, i went back and watched, where Connor literally was covering absolutely nobody the entire time in our zone. Scheifele deserves criticism alot but he's not the only one with defensive issues, just saying.
Enjoyed the game. This team is completely different to watch when it clicks. I thought sliding 55 to the wing with PLD was a savvy move. PLD can be such a driver when he is on and he has great chemistry with Connor, it kind of forces 55 to not be a passenger because he is not the one expect to drive the line.
Namestikov with 27 and 26 looked good and I only hope they can keep that
I love Nino in the top 6 but him and Lowry together is just a menace to deal with for other teams. I would prefer Barron on that line
Samberg showing that he will be top 4 for this team. He kind of reminds me of Brett Pesce or even DeMelo. An overlooked asset that is not usually a name that is dropped when talking about a teams best players, but actually kind of is.
Solid win. Now let's keep it going. The next game will tell the tale IMO on what this looks like for here on out including post season. Will we be competitive and be a handful or just more flatness and inconsistency?

Agreed but he was also making poor passes and this was against a nonplayoff team that looked tired and bored. We will see how they do vs NJ
Jets have a game against the wild which is a guaranteed loss too uggh. Anyone notice the 4th line play on the pp in the 3rd? It led to a Pionk penalty and the wings getting their 2goals so all those wings fans could have their moment
Can’t sit and spend so much time worrying about the Flames. We played much better last night and we are up 2 points on them and have the tie breaker. If we go 4-2 and one of those wins is against the Flames they can run the table the rest of their games and we are still in. And the Flames are too shitty to do that.

Kinda Optimistic
I was hoping maybe the Jets could catch the Kraken but they have 2 games in hand a 3 point lead and a pretty easy schedule after the Kings tonight.
Probably right but for me at least I’m getting tired of all the analysis of what is wrong with the organization. There will be a long offseason where those discussions will go round and round. For now we are a playoff race and we have a slight edge and we are coming off our best game in over a month. Last night I was at the game and it was probably the most fun I’ve had at a game all season. So for now it’s nice to just be a fan and cheer for your team.
Jets want to finish 8th so they can wrap up every series in the playoffs in game 4's on home ice and win the Cup on home ice in front of us great fans.
Well this is the type of game that gives hope that the first half team is still in there and we can get things on track.
It seems Lauer's absence was a major factor in our skid. Our offensive game and PP looked much different then it did the past few months while he was gone. Perhaps he also managed to bridge the gap between Bones and Scheifele because there were elements of both philophys on the ice in the ozone tonight. The players had more latitude to work the puck around the ozone and we opened some excellent looks as a result. We also put pucks on target quickly when the moment called for it.
Helle didn't have much to do but was good when called on.
Defense all played pretty well. Snerg continues to progress. I'd feel confident with him taking Dillions role next year. Pionk also had his best game in a while, loved his hustle and he was more active offensively.
Top line got a few which got a couple of guys off the snide. Other then that I thought they were pretty high event both ways. Would like to see a bit better play in their end. I doubt the plan is to leave Mark as wing long term though.
Second line: Ehlers was on fire, excellent game from him. Name is a smart player who compliments him really well. Wheeler worked hard and ended his streak. I would like to see Blake shoot more when he gets the puck in prime spots a bit more. Was quilty of passing off when the right play was to shoot at times.
Third line: Best game Apples has played since he was with us the first time. Lowry was good but his stone hands shone through at times. Nino was a force and good hands on his goal.
Fourth line with a nice energy game.
As mentioned in the gdt I think if we can get our offensive guys going we have the pieces for 3 scoring lines when Cole gets back.
Calgary won again so our margin for error is non existent. We need more efforts like tonight the rest of the way in. We also need to pound them on Wednesday and end their chances.

Can't agree more, there will be lots of time to slice and dice the team if we don't make it in, right now i'd rather try and be positive that we will get to have a White-out for the first time in 4 years.
I love those couple days between the regular season and playoffs when you’re in. At that point anything seems possible and IMO it is one of the best times to be a fan.Can't agree more, there will be lots of time to slice and dice the team if we don't make it in, right now i'd rather try and be positive that we will get to have a White-out for the first time in 4 years.
Also it was nice to see the fans really into it. As much as there is some apathy the fans just want a reason to get involved. The team gives them a reason and the crowd will get back into it.
Agreed, it's also why we miss Cole. We need more players who do little less flashy things that drive positive zone exits and keeps the play moving. I hope Chevy can convince Name to stay he'd be the ideal new age 3C we need.
The win was nice last night. I saw lots of fancy schamanzy play last night. Well that translates well against a tired road team it will not against better teams at this time of year. Let's hope it is the start of better play.
I hope Bones keeps the lines the same down the stretch. Last night was the best line chemistry we have seen in a very long time.

or they go on a little run...win a game or two, maybe even squeak through to the second round and Chevy (Mark) thinks "Hmmmm...this core? One more season?? They looked pretty good there....hmmmm..."

If the Kings could win the cup sneaking in at 16th overall, we can too.or they go on a little run...win a game or two, maybe even squeak through to the second round and Chevy (Mark) thinks "Hmmmm...this core? One more season?? They looked pretty good there....hmmmm..."
I would feel a whole lot better if Seattle went on a bit of a skid.
Nashville beating Calgary is probably our best hope too.

In many ways Calgary is similar to the Jets. More talented than their record but more than capable of laying a turd at the worst possible time. I’m not giving them any wins until after the games are actually played.
Yes, and I admire your optimism, but what is the probability of that?
