But by the same token, Arizona is 24th in goals allowed, and 30th in goals scored. With them and Buffalo being comfortably behind everybody else.
If anybody could use a Svech or Zadina in this draft, it's the Coyotes.
Also, their forward group is really young, and they have some really nice looking prospects who have yet to be promoted. I know it's easy to give that franchise and GM flak for various reasons, but over the past couple of years they really seem to be moving towards a goal, and are at least putting together some good pieces. Maybe it doesn't work, but their current GM deserves a couple more years before people declare it a failure.
Clayton Keller looks like he's going to be an awesome center for them at some point, they have Strome lighting up the AHL, they could really use a winger.
Not yetMy understanding is that the Wings are now officially eliminated from the playoffs.
No? All these sources say they're eliminated. 0% across the board, and they all go down to at least two decimal places.Not yet
"Officially" eliminated teams have a "e" next to them in the standings.
Ah, fair enough. So not officially, but logically."Officially" eliminated teams have a "e" next to them in the standings.
2017-18 NHL Regular Season Standings - National Hockey League
11 games left, 22 possible points, 63 +22 = 85
Jersey has 80
I think what didn't make sense were some of the trades.
Stepan. Hjalmarsson.
Not really sure how those guys fit a vision.
Sabres with another win over the Blackhawks.
They're now 5 pts back with 11 games left. Can they pass us?
Maaaaaan we need to keep the losing streak alive
Yeah with Ottawas OT win over Dallas, We're now #28 overall, Probably going to be hard to pass up either Vancouver, Arizona or Buffalo unless Arizona and Buffalo get red hot these last few games or so Vancouver is decimated with too many injuries.
Totally agree, I can possibly see us falling #1 more spot to #29 overall possibly either Buffalo or Arizona just pass us by.Arizona and Buffalo look like they are "heating up" towards the end. But Vancouver lost Vanek on a trade, and Boeser is injured for rest of the season. Those are huge blows and they will be losing like Wings until the end. I think we will end up 2nd-3rd worst.
Tanking for Dahlin hopefully, Just keeping our fingers crossed.0-9-1 over the last 10? That's some mighty fine tanking, boys.
Anyway, the last 2 years have hopefully proven to management that this roster is hot garbage.
I'm only happy when it rains...top 5 picks... this roster is hot garbage.
“Dahlin to Detroit” just kinda has a ring to it, doesn’t it?
