2016-17 Playoff Race: Lightning miss playoffs by one win

[LightningStrikes]

Keeping the dream alive baby!

 

[The Gongshow]

1 point out of a playoff spot, 2 points out of 3rd in our division. What a crazy ride

 

[Coburn and Condra]

Staying home for two days off now, would be nice to rough up Detroit a bit on Thursday. Feels like awhile since we've been on the right side of a laugher.

Detroit is the easiest game we have left, which makes me nervous..

 

[Hoek]

Yep you just know they're going to **** the bed on that one.

 

[DFC]

I am not going to say that we should be, just from a stylistic standpoint, able to overwhelm Detroit more than just about any team in the league because if I WERE to say that, we all know what would happen.

Detroit will be playing their 4th game in 5 nights. We should be able to take advantage of that on two days rest.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Lots of scoreboard watching tonight, Go Preds and Panthers!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Bruins score 1-0

 

[Stormbreaker]

[AlphaCatalyst]

Looks like we will not be getting any help tonight.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Couldn't be any worse, ugh

 

[DFC]

Universe balancing itself after last night.

 

[Stormbreaker]

2-0 Leafs this is looking over

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Welp. No help coming tonight.

 

[DXStriker]

Leafs getting a bunch of PP's

 

[Stormbreaker]

Panthers get one back. 2-1, 4:29 remaining in the 2nd

 

[Todd1a]

Welp. No help coming tonight.

Ugh just getting no help tonight

 

[Kramerica Industries]

I thought Boston played Nashville twice for some reason. Maybe it was just that the Preds had both the Isles and B's on their schedule, or maybe NYI goes there next week (didn't bother to check), or whatever. The Bruins schedule is actually uncomfortably navigable the rest of the way for them. They do play the 'Hawks on Sunday, but that's their last road game left. Otherwise, it's all at home for them, and that includes Florida and Dallas later this week. So, assuming they hold on tonight, this might've been their toughest home game left, all things considered; they do finish up against the Caps at home, but who knows what will be at stake for the Caps by then. They might not have a whole lot to play for.

Point being - TB is gonna have to keep pace, because there are rather-easily procurable points for the Bruins on their schedule.

 

[The Gongshow]

Not looking like a good night. Tampa needs a lot of luck right now to get in

 

[Stormbreaker]

Leafs score again. 3-1.

 

[DFC]

Well that couldn't have gone any worse.

Not a good night, that whole hard work coming back against the Hawks, just erased. So frustrating. Also have to worry about Carolina now. 1 point away from them. Where the hell did they come from? Just keep winning, and they still have a chance. Playing Detroit on Thursday should be able to get a win at home against them. But need other teams to start losing.
