League News: 2015-16 Around the League VI (NHL News n' Scores n' Stuff)

Hawks are still a huge threat to anyone in a 7-game series, IMO.

Probably some waiting as I don' think seeding matters much to that team.

very true, just pointing out that ever since we played them theyve been horrible

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Detroit down 2 and Philly up 2. EC WC race going to be a bit tight.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The Wings are going to miss.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Wow. Philly lets in 2 goals in 2 minutes and loses in the skillz. Brutal.

 

[hockeykicker]

blue jackets score 2 goals in final 1:04 to tie game (one shorthanded and one with 8 secs left) and beat flyers in shootout

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Minny up 2-1 on the Kings with less than 3 minutes to play.

Edit: Minny wins!

Bruce Boudreau was on the nHL Network a few days ago and said something interesting...he has probably said this before. They asked about his team's turnaround and how he relates to players. He said he learned a very valuable lesson in Washington. He chose certain players over the team...said he will never make that mistake again. He said he is now tougher on players and he believes that is the way to go.

Magic number for the President's Trophy is 5 points.

Dallas can get 16 more points (for 113). They can catch us in ROW, and own the second tiebreaker.

How can they catch us in ROW? The most they can get is 50 but the Caps can get 58.

If the Caps don't get 3 more.

Blackhawks got killed again by Seguin-less Stars. Just 4 points ahead of Predators now and the Preds have game in hand. 'Hawks have 1 win in their last 7 and that was against the bottom feeder Jets.

Nashville desperately needs to get past them to stand a chance. If they can surpass 'hawks they can avoid getting the Kings in the 1st round.

 

[g00n]

Hawks could still be dangerous. Beware a wounded opponent. If they hit rock bottom with fans booing them after the 1st period it could be the shock they need.

 

[Calicaps]

If the Caps don't get 3 more.

Still confused...

Anyway, I think the Caps will get the 5 points.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Still confused...

Anyway, I think the Caps will get the 5 points.

If the Caps end up with 113 points along with the Stars and they both have the same number of ROW, the Stars have the tiebreaker. So, if the Caps reach 114 points, that is all a moot point.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Still confused...

Anyway, I think the Caps will get the 5 points.

If they catch the Caps in points, it is safe to say the Caps wouldn't be gaining many ROWs while the Stars would gain many more.

Absolutely, they are still the team to beat.

Just mentioned that as we are reaching the stage where Kings and 'Hawks meet in the 1st round. That's propably the dream -scenario for Blues, Ducks and Sharks.

 

[Marshall]

The look on Cameron's face before the game just started was...either hilarious or sad.

Think 1000-yard stare.

 

[ovikovy817]

Well, I think we will play against Flyers in first round.

My prediction

PHI 4-4-1
W: ARI, WPG, OTT and TOR
L: COL, WSH and 2XPENS
OTL: NYI

DET 4-4-0
W: 2XMTL, BUF and TOR
L: PIT, MIN, BOS and NYR

So, Wings must win @ home vs Flyers in regulation, to be in PO.

edit: or even a win in SO will be ok, it will depend on how they will win their other games.
Wings with +1 ROW right now

 

[Raikkonen]

Well, I think we will play against Flyers in first round.

Answer honestly, did you test your predicting model?

 

[ovikovy817]

Answer honestly, did you test your predicting model?

Of course not

my "model" was, W for PHI/DET = team lower than PHI/DET in standings. L for PHI/DET = team higher than PHI/DET in standings. And the OTL with NYI, because I don't know what to think about this (NYI) team.

But for COL and MIN even if they have less points, but I think they'll beat them because (west>east) like would say every expert from the main board

Problem for Red Wings, they will play 2 "easy" MTL/TOR (i think) on back to back.

 

[Johannes de Silentio]

A Stars regulation loss tonight would drop the magic number to 3 points. Rooting for the Yotes.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Why did I think Radko Gudas was Latvian?

 

[The Flying Finn]

3 points it is.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Good job Arizona!

Also, always nice to see the Pens lose and seeing them get shut out at home is doubly good.

 

[ovikovy817]

Tonight @ Devils, could be our last meaningful game in the regular season. Because on saturday, Dallas will play @ San Jose earlier than Blues @ Caps.
