2018 NHL Playoff Race Thread

If Vegas beats San Jose in regulation, we'll move into 2nd place in the pacific due to the ROW tiebreaker.

Done!

It seems we are already scoreboard watching and checking the standings on a regular basis, so I figured what the hell, I will start this thread a little early this year.

For a change, the new HF format will work to our advantage since we can view Google Drive documents that have been published.

When we start seeing magic numbers under 20, I will add those to the spreadsheet.

Ducks' next two games are against Minnesota and Vegas, so tough games for them. LA gets a couple cake matchups to crawl back into things with the Sabres and Hawks. San Jose has to play Dallas and St. Louis.

A win against Florida could be enough to have us in 2nd in the Pacific before we play Boston and Vegas.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

The Sabres have been on a good run of late.

 

[crackdown44]

The Sabres have been on a good run of late.

Florida has also won 7 of 8. I hope we show up

 

[Kahvi]

The Sabres have been on a good run of late.

The game just started, and it's 10AM in LA. Let's see if LA's players are awake already.

 

[Baxterman]

Anaheim scares me the most and I am glad that they are behind in the ROW, and unlikely to catch up unless they totally pass us in which it doesn't matter, so that if we are tied and it looks like it will be that close we have that over them.

The one thing I am hoping for is that the other teams realize that they want Anaheim out as well and that gives them a boost when facing them.

 

[Boomstick]

LA and Anaheim have won today. Minnesota got a loser point.
Must win for us tonight.

 

[CraigsList]

I’ve said this almost every year since we made the playoffs under Hartley, but the Flames cannot worry about who they are tight up against in the standings or what other teams could or might make playoff runs.

All that really matters is this, they are where they are today. They essentially need 97 points to guarantee a playoff spot and then how many points they need to accumulate in their remaining games. All that other outside noise will take care of itself.

Going along with what you've said a month ago, we really need to continue to make it to that 97 point pace. I think the ideal record as of right now would be 44-29-9 to end the season. That means we need to go 14-9-1 for the remaining 24 games of the season. That is really doable, but we really need to be careful of who we lose to because we have a lot of division games left. March is going to be really interesting.

 

[Boomstick]

I can't believe Vegas. WTF. They have a 14 pt lead on us. They've only lost 15 games. Unbelievable.
I hope they get swept in the playoffs.

 

[Dack]

Ben Bishop is getting revenge for all those times he we supposed to be a flame. He let in 4 of the first 5 shots he faced against San Jose.

At least it's not the Kings or Ducks.

 

[Anglesmith]

These last two days have been really brutal on the OOT scoreboard.

 

[DFF]

Need a 10 game winning streak....forget the out of town scoreboard, we are not going to get any help

Kings and Sharks lose last night. Need a win against Colorado on Saturday. San Jose plays Chicago next, LA plays Edmonton and Anaheim plays Arizona. Schedule is not helping

 

[Kipper933]

Kings will be getting back Carter soon too, it'll be tough to take their spot.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I can't wait until we start seeing the magic numbers, assuming we're still in the conversation by then.

I can't wait until we start seeing the magic numbers, assuming we're still in the conversation by then.

I think I will come up with that this weekend and unveil after the TDL

 

[crackdown44]

One “Jean-Francois Berubé” appears to be on the verge of shutting out the Sharks (he plays for Chicago apparently). I’ll take it!

Edit: The blues lose as well. Apparently they’ve had quite the fall from grace. They’re one point up on us with same amount of GP
