Scoreboard watching - or - the pursuit of the playoffs

Call me crazy but I could easily see Vegas getting bounced in the first round. Easily is an understatement too.

I think there are a lot of people in this crowd. im there too

Huge win for Jersey to make our collar a little tighter. But a win tomorrow loosens it up a bit.

I expect Vegas and WPG each to win a round and leave CBJ as only NHL team to never win a playoff series.

There's still 20 minutes left. A 2 goal lead is never safe ;-). VGKs were just jet legged.

The implications on this game are insane. Last time implications were this big was last year when we clinched the playoffs in Jersey with that whole penalty shot fiasco

 

[Maylo]

Ok 2 goal game, c'mon Bill, prove you worth it! Vegas put 30 shots and Devils blocked 18. Stupid Flower!

 

[Maylo]

Welp, now its over, i guess we have to win every game now.

 

[Theo Von]

So so so so important that we have the tie breaker over Jersey

 

[Maylo]

This Vegas defence won't survive playoffs.

I hate the loser point.

We have the third most victories in our division, by 2. We also have 3 more wins than Florida, yet thanks to OT points they would be two points ahead of us if they won their three games at hand. Assuming our season ended today.

Based on wins, we should have the inside track. Hopefully the loser points don't come back to haunt us.

I agree loser points suck, but if you look at ROW we are tied at 31 with Florida and NJ is only one behind at 30

Crosby was made captain because of skill but more importantly work ethic. I hate Pittsburgh as much as anyone but why do you lie to yourself so much. Im sure Crosby is happy with his 3 Cups vs some leadership award

What does 3 cups have to do with leadership? There are guys on those hawk/pens and over history the isles, habs etc with 3 cups and 0 leadership they just are great players. Phil Kessel has 2 and who calls him a leader? Fligs does actual leadership and captain things Crosby just is better at the game. Idk why it's offensive to say Crosby is 10x the player but not a leader like Foligno. The self hating of some of the fans here seems to accept Crosby as daddy I guess and until we have a series win over his team our team is inferior in every way.

But how does it work with Florida? we already won a tie breaker with them, but it's 3 games, even if they will beat us in reg, it's still 4-3, but since it's 3 game series, there it goes home/away? or what?

 

[Jyrki]

yikes, and I thought Devils would be lucky to go 2-4-0 in their next 6....

Karlsson is +1 btw, while Perron and Haula are -5

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Impressive showing by Jersey. They keep playing like that then the Jackets better bring their A game until the season ends.

You said fligs was 1000x (yes one thousand times) the leader Sid is. Please explain what "Fligs does actual leadership and captain things" means. What is he doing differently? Don't tell me he is a harder worker

inb4 he has one more bullshit leadership award than crosby

He has a bullshit leadership award on to of the KingKlancy and Mess awards... That's apparently 2 awards more. Thank you. Answered your own question.

Stay on topic fellows . Sucks that Jersey won, but at this point , the jackets keep playing like they are , and they have absolutely nothing to worry about . Jersey is 5-5 in last 10 games , Philly is 4-5 in last 10 games . Tonight is a big game , hopefully we take care of business

 

[Byrral]

Not surprised NJ won. Who is making these schedules. Last week CBJ come off a western road trip, have one day off, and Vegas is here with a day off waiting for them. Now Vegas comes off a long eastern road trip, has one day off, and NJ has been there for multiple days.

I apologize

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Tonight's games of interest = Bruins/Panthers mostly, with Pens/Habs and Caps/Isle secondary.

 

[EspenK]

^^^^

Jackets-Flyers tertiary?

I was thinking about giving it its own thread.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Jackets win and Caps/Pens lose, just 4 points out of first. I'm not sayin......

Says a lot about the people who wanted to sell at the deadline and get a better chance at a better pick.

 

[Viqsi]

I have got to start watching more Pens games down the stretch. Getting to point and laugh at Letang failing at hockey is one of those rare pleasures in life.

EDIT: and then Hornqvist gets a tip-in and I remember why I stopped.

 

[Cowumbus]

ROW totals are gonna be super important with NJd and PHL
