Come on penguins. You are better than this.

 

[Todd1a]

Guys is this the year the red wings playoff streak ends ?

 

[The Gongshow]

Thanks Pittsburgh, now we need some help from the Marlies tonight against Boston

Guys is this the year the red wings playoff streak ends ?

Well I certainly hope so. I want to see Philly (Gudas) in the playoffs.

 

[The Gongshow]

Philly is hot, but I sure as hell don't wanna play them. Them and Washington are two teams I don't want to face in the playoffs. Probably Florida too since they seem to have our # this year

 

[Hoek]

Eh, Ottawa was hot last year and ran out of gas. Sometimes those bubble teams are just weak bubble teams even if they get in on a tear.

 

[These Are The Days]

My God... if anyone was born to be a Flyer it was Radko Gudas. He's doing the mothership proud.

Yeah. I still hate the fact he's not a Lightning anymore, but I'm happy he's enjoying it there in Philly.

 

[The Gongshow]

I miss Radko but glad he's being used somewhere

Wins from Leafs, Canadiens and Devils would be beneficial. But highly unlikely.

 

[berlin]

Go Leafs Go!

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

If Vesey signs with Chicago I may need to stop watching hockey for a while.

 

[Leonardo87]

Devils beat Boston in regulation.

 

[berlin]

Back in first!

 

[Glide5]

Wow, we got more help today. Go Devils and Go Leafs. We are back in control of our own destiny again. Need to win 3 of the next 4. That would do us wonders.

 

[Hoek]

Wings losing too.

It's final, they lost. All the scores went our way tonight!

 

[Kramerica Industries]

Only 5-6 games left in the season and I simply have no clue who the Lightning will face in the first round. Still could be one of five different teams!

If they win the Atlantic, it's likely NYI or Philly.

If they finish 2nd, it's Boston or Detroit.

But who really knows?!

Unlikely, but not impossible apparently.

 

[Hoek]

Trochek injured for the Panthers. Could be a huge loss for them.

 

[The Gongshow]

MRW watching hockey tonight

Detriot loss, check. Boston loss, check. Florida loss, check! The Hockey Gods must have been smiling down on Tampa tonight

 

[DFC]

Caught a nice break tonight. Now we need to take advantage of it vs. Montreal.

It's screwed up knowing we are are this late into the season and it's mathematically possible for us to miss the playoffs entirely.

I’m happy that we’re back in 1st place but I’m not sure that the risk of playing against NYI or Philly in the 1st round is worth it if our play against them this season is any indication, and man have we sucked big time against them in all areas of the ice. The only game we’ve won against either team was the 1st game of the season in OT against Philly and then that game against NYI where we scored 6 against their backup (and 1 empty netter) but also let in 4 which would cost us to do in the playoffs if their goalie is on a hot streak. I’m not saying that we couldn’t win a best of 7 games series against either team but we cannot play like we have done against those team if we want to win because then it will be a short series that will not end in our favor.
