Playoff avatar time?

 

[Hoek]

Now what's the number for the division?

 

[God King Fudge]

Shout out to the ducks.

Now rotate all 3 goalies for the remainder of the season to get Vasy some good rest.

Based on the link MM has in the OP it’s 18.

With only 10 left. Those games vs Boston we have left are very important.

 

[Werewolf]

Yes!!! Time to pick playoff avatars!!!

 

[CupsOverCash]

So are we going with the "Ruh Roh" theme? Feels like something we shouldnt change too much for something like that...

I guess technically Boston controls their destiny, but we still have 2 games at hand. So our magic number is 16 points (including 2 wins vs BOS) if we sweep them , and then add points for every point they get out of our matchups (OTL, etc). If we draw the series with ROW they still control their destiny.

EDIT: this isn't a thorough enough explanation, there are more scenarios at play. Will try to create a table when I get a chance.

I mean - we both do. With two head to head meetings left it's up in the air.

We still slightly control our own destiny since we are still ahead and points but we are also ahead by one ROW. They have two games in hand though. Those 2 games that they make up may be the key here.

Whatever the theme is for playoff avatars ... saw this from poster Master P. Need this as part of it ... too good.

LETS GO BOLTS!!!

I was thinking something along the lines of "Expect the Unexpected" with sarcastic analysis of each of the players based on the shit-talking with the Leafs early in the season when they were pumping Matthews' tires.

I talked to one of the Mods about months bad it and they liked it and I'm trying to get @The Gongshow to work on a few but I have no idea if he's been doing them
