GDT: 2018-19 Other Games Around the League (Part II)

[Barrie22]

If Vegas beats us in regulation they will be 5 points back with still one game to play against us. Too close for comfort.

Where do you get 5 points? The knights are 9 points back right now and the game is tonight.

Honestly, McDavid should ask for a trade. That team is years away and he's wasting his career.

For a team where it would make sense, cant do it because its a nearly untradeable contract at that price.

Vlasic, MK68, and a Hertl-level contract could clear a bunch of space... Just sayin', crazy magic happened last off-season. Swap in Donskoi+ if you think DW could pull out the dentist chair again

Landeskog, Berrie, Ottawa's 1st and Colorado's other 1st round pick this year

oops thanks. ok that makes me feel better.

That contract is easily tradeable. Edmonton is going to want a lot and teams would have to give a lot to make it work.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Hey guys. We’ll do our best to get an X next to your name tonight

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Sharks are officially a playoff team.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Well at least the Sharks are a playoff team. I don’t think they are catching Calgary so maybe this slump is a blessing in disguise.

 

[FunkyPhin]

Pathetic that this is how the sharks clinch, 3 different opportunies to do it, and they shit the bed everytime.

 

[Coily]

Have the Sharks ever won the game needed to get into the playoffs or win a spot? (Rhetorical).
Seems like every year they clinch because someone else does something...

what's the blessing?

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Get it out of their system and we ready and healthy for the playoffs.

We drop to the 1st wild card spot, take on a beatable Nashville/Winnipeg, and we skip both of CGY/VGK in the 1st round.

I would so much rather take the Wild Card. Ugh.

And 2nd Rd too.

But let's face it, an effort to tank to get into the Central div playoffs would probably just end with us in the Pacific 3 spot and without home ice we lose to Vegas in 6 in the first round. Lol

Or we luck the f*** out and face off against Arizona.

 

[Bleedred]

Vegas is likely getting to the second round if they had to play Calgary in round one anyway.

Calgary is the only team in the West (St. Louis and Arizona are maybe's, but definitely have hotter goalies right now) in a playoff spot or even just outside, that have inferior goaltending to the Sharks.

I can't see Vegas losing to them. It wouldn't be a huge or noteworthy upset, but I'd be comfortable enough to wager Vegas would beat them. This is all assuming Fleury is healthy and in goal for Vegas.

So a Vegas/San Jose matchup almost seems guaranteed, whether it's in round one or round two.

Agreed entirely. And if the Sharks get Calgary in round 2, they will win that series. They have the Flames’ number.

The biggest benefit to winning the division is allowing key players like Pavelski and Karlsson to fully recover from injury and get into a groove before the inevitable matchup against Vegas.

gotcha, i was struggling to find any silver lining lol

Go Sens Go!! 1-0 Sens early, I've pinned the live score on my screen, neat little feature on Android phones.

Edit : Scored by Demelo! Lol

He played 30 minutes the other day and had 3 assists.

 

[Barrie22]

So monkeys could actually play hockey and be mvp. The movies were right.

 

[Bleedred]

The Sens are a joke organization.

They should have been at least trying to pretend they wanna win a few games, since they have nothing to gain by losing every game, since they don't have their pick.
