[branch]

There are only 82 games in the Season, not 92.

Please provide stats, examples, and definitions to support that there are 82 games in the season.

I don't trust these new-fangled advanced stats.

Give me the eye test every time.

Its 82 REGULAR season games if accuracy is the main point here

 

[Back in Black]

Here's a cool stat. When there's only 9 hours to go, we win the game...

9 hours to g0

vs.

Stats are for nerds. 92 game is harder to play. 82 is more of a skill game. I vote 92

 

[Burrowsaurus]

They honestly dont unfortunatly Imo have a decent chance

At best the slimmest of chance but not decent

They would have to play .655 hockey for the next 54 games (around Leafs type of hockey)

I dont think they played that good for that long since the 06 cup run

Not going to happen

Okay but that's with everyone else maintaining pace. Which is also slim

No
It is going to take 95-96 points to get in
No matter what
Its the average of the last 5 years

I can almost guarentee we willl get there. Or close. We will make the race interesting.

It would probably be in the best interest of the franchise to pick very high this year and then finish much better next year.

This is why it will not happen.

Buffalo's lineup for tonight. I would assume Lehner in net, with Fasching (healthy), Beaulieu (ill), and Antipin (healthy) the scratches, with Josefson still on IR.

If any of you remember the tank wars of this board in 2013 to like 2015 they were brutal. Worse than the current ceci wars. I was firmly on team tank. But it's too late for that now.

You are always right in retrospect IIRC.

If only you were in charge of this team.

Looks like a team that is built to destroy this one.

And by that I mean, it's an NHL team that we are facing in our next game.

 

[God Says No]

Did I hear correctly that Claeasson will be playing?

 

[Micklebot]

I heard that yesterday, but no indication of who is coming out.

I wouldn't be so confident. Though Ottawa has only won once in its last 12, we've only won twice in our last 12. Should be a thriller!

Probably Hoffman.

The winner gets further from the top of the draft lottery.

 

[BatherSeason]

Do we even have to ask? We should all be shocked if it isn't Chabot.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Pre-congrats to Robin Lehner on his first star of the night!

I don't even hope for wins anymore.

I just want an old-fashioned Robin Lehner meltdown in the crease.

That would make my night.

Just want to see him go full Viking on someone. For nostalgia's sake.

Imagine the faces we would be seeing if he was on our roster during this epic collapse....alas we get smiles out of everyone save for Stone it seems

Really hope you’re right

Cowen had some moments early on.

He never recovered from that hip thing.
