Pre-Game Talk: Sens @ Flyers April 11.

[Do Make Say Think]

Let's hope it isn't Emery starting

 

[SanderSen]

Canadian Tire Center open to watch the game tomorrow. Free admission and parking.

If all we need is a point in this one, I suggest we dress Phillips. He'll point at at least three things.

Seriously, play for the two here. Don't want to wait for the night games and pray for the bounces.

 

[ItWasJustified]

So can someone describe how Boston can take a playoff spot instead of Ottawa?

I case Ottawa loses and Boston wins:
Both has 42 wins.
Ottawa has better goal differential. (unless Boston scores more than 15 to 20 goals the last game)
Ottawa has won 3 out of 5 games vs Boston.
The play in the same division.

According to my calculation Boston can have at most the same amount of points as Ottawa and Ottawa is better at every statistics.

So how is it possible that Boston can still get a playoff spot?

Edit: Is it the regulation and over-time wins that decides it then? That is f***ing stupid imo.

Not every statistic.

Boston has more ROW (regulation + overtime wins) (37 to 36).

We would need to win (in regulation or overtime) in order to be tied in that statistic, but winning puts us ahead in points anyway.

Ottawa needs to get at least a point in the game against Philadelphia in order to qualify irrespective of how Boston does against Tampa Bay.

Leaving for Philly in 20 minutes can't wait to see us clinch live. Look for all the Boro jerseys and that'll be us.

Alright dad.

And yeah, play for 2... I want to see this game in the books and be able to enjoy the evening just watching for seeding, not hoping we fall into the playoffs.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Just take care of business tomorrow afternoon. My heart can't take anymore scoreboard watching.

Dude. Cheer loudly! And remember, it's Philly...don't get puked on.

 

[Senateurs]

Play for the win, We struggle against both goaltenders but Mason (6-2-1 Vs Ottawa) has had a longer history against us. Emery is 2-0-1

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Screw it. Going down to Philly for this one.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Screw it. Going down to Philly for this one.

We applaud you sir. Or ma'am...

 

[Iceman]

We'll win against Boston for you guys! For extra protection depending on the Philly game outcome.

 

[muffin with tentacle]

Couple weeks ago when we pulled ahead of Boston and were suddenly >50% to make the playoffs, we had 3 stinkers in a row! I'm worried we only play well when our chances are remote.

Well 2 of those games Anderson played. Not blaming Anderson, but i think it was obvious that the team played different in front of him and he also may still have been playing hurt.

 

[yoplait]

Have a final exam when the game is playing. I dont know how my body will cope with that much stress and not being able to know how we're doing.

 

[mattsens]

It's crazy to think we can end Saturday anywhere from the 3rd divisional spot to either wild card spot to not making the playoffs at all. Are we playing the Rangers, Canadiens, Tampa Bay or golf?

... Biggest game of the season...

Whats the scenario for us to play the habs?

Cuz NY and TAMPA are going to annihilate us in 4 games I'm afraid

MTL would be a little more even

That's actually ridiculous.

If Pittsburgh gets two points or less in their next two games, we beat Philadelphia and Detroit wins their last game we play Montreal I think. Montreal has to get at least a point against Toronto as well. We need to stay ahead of Pittsburgh and Boston, but behind Detroit basically.

 

[Super Cake]

I wish this game was on when the Bruins game is on.

If the Sens lose in regulation, i don't know if i will be able to take waiting all day to just see if the Sens make the playoffs or not.

I'm not AndrePetersson. I'm a guy.

Appreciate you folks. Bolts fan have been nothing but awesome, especially these past few weeks. Expansion bros!

There's 2 ways we get Montreal:

Ottawa wins vs Flyers in any fashion
Detroit loses vs Carolina in regulation
Montreal loses vs Toronto in regulation
Tampa Bay wins vs Boston in any fashion

That would be a 2 v 3 divisional battle between Montreal and Ottawa

For the second scenario there's many ways it can happen but basically Montreal must get a point or a TB loss to secure top seed in the Atlantic. Then one of Boston or Pittsburgh has to finish behind us in the standings (in the 2nd WC spot) while Detroit stays ahead. there are several scenarios in which this happens so I'm not gonna list it haha

Our chances are remote tomorrow.

 

[SanderSen]

After last night I get the same vibe from the Sens as when they were on the great Western swing. Feeling good about tomorrow.
