GDT: 2023-24 Other Games Around The League

[StanleyCup2035]

Pivotal game against Anaheim on Tuesday. Go Hawks (in OT)

 

[Bizz]

Can the Hawks play the Coyotes for the rest of the season?

Can the Hawks play the Coyotes for the rest of the season?

Almost! They do have 8 winnable games left against bad teams: 2x SJS, 2x ANA, and 1 each of OTT, STL, CGY (maybe not winnable...) and MIN (who knows).

We have 2 against them and STL/CGY, and 1 each against CBJ, unfortunately the Yotes, Pens.

Biggest ones, obviously, are the two against CHI... it really might all come down to those now. but gifting a win to the Pens would really be great too.

So i have Ingram in fantasy and the person im playing in head-to-head has Soderblom. I needed Ingram to win and post more saves and better numbers than Soderblom, which should be a slam dunk guarantee.......

Considering the fantasy gods hate me, it was all but destined for Chicago to win big today

 

[Shark Finn]

We're going to win the two games against Blackhawks in regulation, aren't we?

Obviously, why would you consider otherwise.

It's crazy that the garbage 22-23 sharks were only shut out twice, once against Boston and another against Colorado (both excusable), whereas the surely better 23-24 Penguins have already been shut out 5x!

It's almost inconceivable given their star talent and considering they have pitched 8 shut outs of their own!

they really are the victims of absolutely terrible coaching right now. coaches really have a hard time accepting that you have to let karlsson run the show and he'll get it done with even a half competent crew. you'd think the best idea would be to put him with your studs but that just wastes your studs' or karl's playmaking.

It’s the second straight team to pick up EK just to have him be the #2 RD on the team and not build a system around him.

EK is a generational D and will not thrive as a complementary player on a team. He needs a system designed around his strengths.

 

[Bowie22]

I don't know why, but the Rempe chants crack me up. He takes a check, and they're going ape shit. Imagine if we had a chant for Mike Brown (actually liked him after he bowled into Quick)

Watching the hawks is interesting. Bedard looks like he's trying pretty hard. Jones just potted one and looked disappointed lol

 

[Jargon]

Gooo Chicago Bedards!

 

[hohosaregood]

Big game between Seattle and Vegas. Seattle needs to win this to have a chance of knocking Vegas out of the playoff race.

A great night for the tank. We still have a shot at top odds.

Having a player of that caliber and toiling with us in the slums of the standings lol. Absolutely shameless institution the Blackhawks are.

 

[Munnyro]

In before Goosechin gets called up and wrecks it all.

 

[Jargon]

Chicago losing 5-0 at the end of the 2nd. This is a real race to the bottom.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Sharks Magic number is 31pts to "win" last place.

Chicago win is -2 Chicago OT loss is -1.

Why is it 31? Chicagos max possible total is 71 pts with 15 games to play.

Sharks could get 31 pts and finish with 70.

Big Vegas loss and huge Minnesota win today. Assuming both teams play at pace for the rest of the season, Minnesota has a great chance to make the playoffs since they have an easier schedule.

Vegas plays: CHI, ANA, CBJ, ARI, SEA, STL, NSH, MIN 2x, WPG, VAN 2x, EDM, COL.
Minnesota plays: CHI, SJ 2x, OTT, SEA, STL LA 2x, VGK 2x, WPG, COL

Those two games against the Sharks will be critical for Minnesota, as will the games against VGK.

It's possible

How will that help us with their draft pick for next year? Also, Hertl will be returning for Vegas soon.

The way them making the playoffs will affect next year - it won't.

But them losing only makes life as a Sharks fan much easier. And it's nice cheering for a team to win for a change!
