GDT: x-CAR - DET Part 8. Final Reckoning

[Svechhammer]

These last two games have been really clean 60-minute wins. Just sitting here appreciating the ability to enjoy a game and not be mad.

Not just clean but relatively healthy. We are flexing our muscles without really getting hit hard ourselves. That's a good thing.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Magic number Tampa: 10, Florida 7 (without tonight’s results).

Yeah, hopefully we can keep building going into the playoffs.

They’re a well oiled machine RN.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Do the Stars and Predators have upcoming games against each other? That would be swell for them to beat up on each other.

ONE.

It’s been so refreshing to go from moral victories to actual victories.

 

[tarheelhockey]

At the same time, keeping Tampa 3 back with only 6 games to go and they still have to play Florida and Dallas twice? The hill for them to climb is getting steeper.

That TB/FLA back to back series to end the season is everything. And will probably be some of the best hockey of the regular season to boot.

I’m just very pleased that the Canes are taking care of business right now. That magic number will get smaller in a hurry if they just keep posting Ws and keep the momentum rolling.

Their last matchup is on Saturday

That **** is going to be some must-watch TV.

If ever there is a stretch where we should collect dubs like a URL, its Detroit-Columbus-Chicago-Chicago-Chicago

 

[HisIceness]

ONE.

May it be a slugfest

 

[tarheelhockey]

By the way, we are now on streaks of 6-0-3 and 9-1-4.

So that’s, y’know, OK.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Nice momentum to keep a rollin’ @Svechhammer . Hat tip to Reimer for the Win.

Doesn’t matter if it’s the Red Wings as we know they’ve had our # for some weird reason this Season.

See you all next Game

 

[HisIceness]

Good for Reimer to get a W. Never know when we may need him again.

Tampa-Florida and Canes-Preds to close the season

in what will possibly be previews of the first round.

Would be very interesting how each team treats those.

If we have our playoff seed locked in by then... it’s taxi squad time.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Agreed but I think it will be interesting to see who we put in net. If Mrazek is back and good to go you might want to give him some starts to get back in the groove. Or maybe you test him and Ned and give Reims a game. Don’t let Nashville do any scouting for the playoff series

 

[LakeLivin]

if my math is correct, this means neither tampa nor florida can gain on us tonight. that'll do (ice)pig, that'll do.

I believe this is correct

Can we get a mathematician to weigh in not that I don't trust you but I need to Verify.

At your service.
minus 1, carry the 3 . . . By god, they're right!

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Panthers in OT so still 7 for the magic number

Meh

For now Tampa is the one controlling out magic number because they can finish higher than Florida if both win out

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Yep theirs is 10

 

[tarheelhockey]

All three teams are really heating up, too.

Canes 9-1-4
Panthers 8-2-0
Lightning 5-1-0

The division title might come down to which team slumps first. It’s gonna be tight.


(note that 2 of the 3 losses for TB/FLA were to us... those head to head wins were huuuuge.)

 

[Tryamw]

So we need to pull for Dallas. Against both, then hope Dallas loses to others.

 

[MinJaBen]

Nah. Just win out. We control our destiny and have nearly the same record against both Dallas and Nashville.

 

[The Faulker 27]

We get Skjei and Teuvo back, and they have an immediate impact helping us defeat a team that has been a surprising challenge this season. That's good stuff.
