HF Habs: 2023 Schedule & Standings Thread part 3: Race for Bedard

[BeliveauFan4ever]

you didn't really expect them to do something?

Not really, but they looked good in the 1st.

At 1-1, Elias rung the post on a breakaway and the tide turned. Now, the Tocchets are clawing…but I won’t hold my breath, lol,

The Panthers are looking really good, hard to believe they will keep their current standing position for long.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

WTF Tampa Bay.

 

[Riggins]

That Bruins choke job against Florida before the break really hurt. Probably set them up to take a legit run at the playoffs. Let's hope they stumble again as they have countless times this season.

Who are we drafting with the #32 pick after Florida wins the Cup?

That's fair...they can fight for 9th place but looking at the standings, I don't think they end up making the playoffs....

They can fight the Islanders to take a spot from Pittsburg or Washington, they'll beat Buffalo sure, Detroit also. However, Boston Toronto TB is pretty much a lock

We're not getting a top 10 pick out of them but considering where they were last year.....still a big win for this club.

Damn, just saw Florida is pummeling TB. I guess TB is still on their break. That'll put Florida the closest they've been to a playoff spot since the 1st month of season.

One point from WC2. However, Pens will have 4 games in hand.

Good news is NYI has won tonight too, so Florida won't pass either NYI or Buffalo.

Only team they'll pass is Nashville, who isn' playing and will hold 5 games in hand.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

7-1 Florida now.

f*** off Tampa.

 

[rahad]

Horrible tank night...

Horrible tank night...

Isles won, so that's good. They can block Florida from getting in a WC spot. Ditto Buffalo. I don't have a lot of faith in Pens or Caps right now..

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canucks tie it!

4-4!

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Canucks tie it at 4…c’mon Tocchets!

 

[Schooner Guy]

I only had hope for Tampa but apparently they don't want home ice vs. Toronto.

It will be Toronto with home ice over Florida. Florida will win Game 7 in Toronto after the Leafs blow a 3-1 series lead. Florida will then sweep the geriatric Bruins and that draft pick will be no better than #29.

I hope one of the Van, Ana or Arizona win to safe the tank night.

Edit: Let goooooooooo! Vancouver tied. Plz go to OT now.

 

[Gravity]

What a bloody soft call.

We should trade Monty for Delia. Really add some fuel to the tank.

Florida actually is only 9 points back of TB. They've made up a lot of ground against them. Those pesky games in hand though - TB has 4 of them.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Calgary now winning versus NYR. That's good for keeping Florida down.

 

[red devil]

Rangers just tied the Flames at 4

Wild take a 1-0 over the Coyotes early in the 2nd

 

[Gravity]

Vancouver gets a point!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canucks get a point!

They pass us!

Back in 6th!

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Go for 2, ‘Nucks!!!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That's too bad about Arizona. They outshot Minnesota 14-5 in 1st period. Just couldn't get one.

 

[Gravity]

Refs have been super biased in this NJ-Van game.

 

[red devil]

Devils get a powerplay in OT with 1:20 left

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Crap, NJD getting a PP with 1:19 left in OT.
