Know a couple of Montreal fans as well. They were all pissed when Montreal picked Kotkaniemi, but now they love him

What a night for Columbus! They beat the Habs 6-2, take their 2WC and push them down to #9. Carolina (WC1) loses in Washington and is just 1 point ahead of CBJ with the same amount of games remaining.
The Habs play 4 more games, Columbus and Carolina 5:
Montreal:
at WPG
vs TBL
at WSH
vs TOR
Columbus:
at NSH
at BUF
vs BOS
at NYR
at OTT
Carolina:
vs PHI
at PIT
at TOR
vs NJ
at PHI
bold = home game
red = playoff teams

Oh no! We suck again!!
Montreal is so f***ed. They better hope Carolina putters out while they win out. Oh well I'm not complaiming. I'd just be missing yet ANOTHER playoff series against Price and his team of clutch and grab. Already seen it twice
I hope the Leafs win their series because it's gonna be something different should we be there to meet them. This division format is the worst idea anyone could have had. They honest to God think ratings are up because of "rivalries" and not perhaps because we AREN'T in the DPE anymore

I had been wondering a little bit if we were gonna be a Wednesday or a Thursday start myself, so thanks on my end as well for this information. I may or may not have some stuff going on around that time so this info is useful.

Habs fan coming in pepperoni.
Do you think/know if any of your team players will be playoff resting on tuesday vs the Habs?
Unfortunately for us we are in need of a miracle with Carolina losing today against PIT and Toronto on tuesday.
Praise be to the Spaghetti monster!

No Vasilevsky - a 2nd game of a back-to-back usually reserved for Domingue
No Girardi - injured
Probably no Hedman - injury, status unknown
I don't think we gonna rest any player unless its injury related.
We have extra players and do a rotation of sort. Lately due to injuries it was not that strict, so hard to say. Probably Martel and Callahan will play only one game each of this back-to-back.

The playoff forum is officially open. I can all but hear a few of you seeing the rules and yelling in the best Robert Baratheon voice ever "f*** that I wanna hit somebody!!"
Sadly for us, this is true. We are curious to know who you guys will play in nets tonight in Ottawa. On our boards, we are guessing it's Pasquale tonight and Vasilevskiy tomorrow in Montréal. How do you guys see it? I haven't kept track on the records that are within reach of your team and how important they are to the organization though. In any case, as bad as we would get beaten up on the scoreboard in a 7 game series against the Lightning, I'm really hoping we get in just to watch 4 more games this season.
Edit: Saw that Vasilevskiy should be playing tonight in Ottawa. Looks like I got my answer.

If you're including Pitt you may as well include Toronto too as a possibility.
Don't think we have yet to start our backup on the first night of a back to back so Vasy most likely in net....as per your edit.
I also think your chances aren't great in the playoffs but I can understand wanting to keep hope alive!
