2018-19 Tank Tracker (Mod Warning post #724)

Do we want Edmonton to beat Ottawa? I think theres a better shot of us passing Edmonton than Ottawa passing us..... I think we want Edmonton to win?

hoping for OT regardless

Anything to keep Edmonton's lotto percentages down. I can handle if Ottawa gets the #1, it's been a long time for them. Edmonton could draft the next Ovechkin right now and it wouldn't help them.

Ottawa gets sweet f*** all. Their 1st belongs to Colorado.

If Larkin were to get a long term injury is it more likely we'd lose every game for the rest of the season than not?

Are you asking if it’s more likely that we go winless than undefeated? Or more likely that we go winless than getting at least one win?

Yes. We would have no center that's even remotely close to good.

His injury appears to be minor though. Just "soreness".

Winless Vs getting one win.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Winless Vs getting one win.

Looking at the schedule, it's very interesting. We have one game against a team with a P% below .500, that team is New Jersey. It would be much higher odds than I was thinking when I first thought about it. Obviously I think we would manage one win, but if we finished the season on 24 game losing streak, I would think we would have the #1 odds locked up, right? There would be no coaching extension and there would probably be a change in management, I would imagine.

 

[Bondurant]

Ottawa can't help themselves from handing Hughes over to Colorado. Our hopes and prayers will be a lucky bounce of the lottery balls or randomized computer selection.

What would cause a larger uproar on HF? What would you personally be more upset about?

Edmonton being awarded the #1 overall pick yet again, or by the most ridiculous stroke of luck, Colorado ends up picking Hughes and Kakko?

Edmonton.

 

[Hen Kolland]

Edmonton.

Not even a hint of hesitation in that response, I can respect that kind of conviction.

For me it would be EDM getting a top 3. Theyve had so many good picks and squandered them all. Their management is incapable of building a good team. I'd be...not happy if the Avs got the better of us at the draft but that's the reward they get for making a good move with Duchene. If I recall correctly Sakic(I think he was the GM?) got flak at the time for holding on to Duchene for so long, Also in response to earlier I don't think Holland would fire Blash even if we lost 23 in a row.

Edmonton is easily

It's just baffling to see how much good talent they've squandered/ran off

It's a lot less likely that avs pick both

 

[jkutswings]

I was just thinking earlier how crazy it would be if Colorado wound up with two picks in the top 3. Talk about a crazy influx of talent in the last five years.

It's gonna be a very interesting lottery night, that's for sure.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Shame Letang and Dumolin got hurt when they did. A couple days earlier and I think Holland may have been able to sell Daley back to them for a 3rd

For sure Edmonton getting the first overall pick.

It feels like loaning more money to a drug addict. At a certain point when they come back empty handed you want to say "I'm not giving you any more until you get yourself straightened out."

Pulled a goose egg last night. Not getting much help lately at all.

At least we are seeing separation from the bottom five and everyone else.

 

[Leadzedder]

A look back at the last 3 nights. Brutal.
5/16 (lowest possible result was 4)


Wednesday 27th
EDM vs TOR - 0
NJD vs CGY - 0
CHI vs ANA - 2 for Chi, 0 for Ana, worst outcome

Thursday 28th
EDM vs OTT 2 for Edm, 0 for Ott, worst? outcome
LAK vs DAL - 1 loser point

Friday 1st
NJD vs PHI - 0
ANA vs VGK - 0

Chicago leaves tracker. That's about all that happened.


Team - Pts - Games - ROW

26. EDM - 61 - 64 - 24
27. NJD - 58 - 65 - 24
28. ANA - 57 - 65 - 21
29. DET - 55 - 64 - 21
30. LAK - 54 - 64 - 21
31. OTT - 49- 64 - 22

Today's games
DET vs ARI

EDM vs CBJ
LAK vs CHI
NJD vs BOS
OTT vs TBL


With ANA and NJD both getting a pair of losses the last few days that keeps them close to Detroit. So any kind of winning activity from the wings will change rankings. With the refusal of any of these teams to get points I think it's quite possible you see detroit jump up past them. I can't see Detroit continuing to lose like they have recently.

 

[Leadzedder]

Yeah, there is. But that can go away pretty quickly. Hopefully it remains and grows.

 

[DInTheB]

EDM being up 4-0 on the Jackets after 2 is a nice development.

I don’t see us jumping them.

 

[avssuc]

Maybe Guy Boucher getting canned lights a fire in Ottawa? Hopefully Crawford doesn't want to help his former employer and gets them going.

No one is catching Ottawa. They've lost their 4 best players and now dress a lineup worse than Detroit's. I'll laugh when the lottery goes Colorado 1-2 and then Edmonton.

They won. Seems like the field is starting to contract down to those 4 teams: NJ, Anaheim, Detroit, LA, all within
4 points. And then there's the Sens all by themselves.

they're kinda in the same category as Chicago

with as much high end talent as they have they can only really be so bad if those players are having good years

need to be a bit more hopeless than that to be at the very bottom(or at least have their stars have down years like the Kings with Koptar/Doughty)
