Around the NHL 2019 - 2020

Kind of off topic, but I was looking ahead to our Carolina game on Saturday and noticed that they will be on the back end of a back to back on Saturday. Not that it will help us- seems like lately we always look like crap when we are facing a team on a back to back

But I got to looking at Carolina’s schedule- take a look at the 15 game stretch they started this week-

@ BOS
WPG
@ NSH
@ COL
@ CBJ
BUF
PIT
TB
MIN
MTL
@ WSH
WSH
PHL
@ PIT
@ TOR

Yikes. If they make the playoffs they will have earned it.

I feel like our hierarchy of teams is the same

Preds


Kings
Yotes

Mine are:
Preds


Coyotes


Panthers
Sabres

ha nice the Panthers are 4th for me since they employed me. Past that I don't really have a lot of rooting interest

 

[Drake744]

Zucker got a hat trick in Tampa. Wild manage to beat the Lightning 3-0.

A buddy of mine, lifelong Sabres fan..introduced me to hockey when we were living in South Florida. He went to watch the Sabres play the Panthers...I got into the home crowd

Wild are 6-0-2 last 8- wins over St Louis, Winnipeg, Calgary and Tampa Bay

Only two losses?? To the Preds

I think I was just a tad too harsh on the Preds in those two games vs Minnesota- those 2 wins are looking better and better.

My hunch is the home crowd wasn't very large

And the Lightning have 13 regulation losses. 0-2 against the Preds....

Nah, but they were plucky!

And I have to say (not sure how well this will go over)..the org reminded me of the Preds in terms of fan interaction, staff approachability, etc

Landeskog out 4-6 weeks. 4 pts out of a playoff spot so could be the dagger to their season.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Winnipeg up 4-0 on the Canes after 1

 

[Armourboy]

Landeskog out 4-6 weeks. 4 pts out of a playoff spot so could be the dagger to their season.

Come now we all know their issues was just the curse of Duchene

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Landeskog out 4-6 weeks. 4 pts out of a playoff spot so could be the dagger to their season.

They're going to wind up with two top 10 picks (with a great shot at first overall). So very Avs...

 

[LCPreds]

Winnipeg up 4-0 on the Canes after 1

Figures. Hopefully we don’t choke tomorrow night against the same squad.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Figures. Hopefully we don’t choke tomorrow night against the same squad.

It's Carolina. We're definitely going to lose 7-1.

 

[PredsV82]

So Carey Price gave up a snowman tonight...

 

[Armourboy]

Dubnyk gave up 4 goals on 7 shots

 

[GoldOnGold]

Winnipeg loses again, this time to Washington.

 

[Armourboy]

Yeah it looks like there may be several playoff teams kind of meandering in.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Since the All-star break:

Nashville: 9-8-1

Winnipeg: 9-9-2

 

[Armourboy]

I'm shocked we won 9 lol

 

[Marty Party]

CBJ fans have to be sick. Since the all in trade deadline, they've went 3 and 5 which also includes three shut out losses in their past six games.

Two of those three wins were in OT/SO situations as well.

They're currently hanging on to the 2nd WC spot with MTL on their heels. However they aren't that far from the teams above them either.

Just more evidence that big splash deadline deals rarely work. Since getting Duchene and others, they can't score to save their life- are averaging 1.8 goals per game. And even worse, have scored a combined 7 goals in their last 6 games.

Playoff picture shifting rapidly. Dallas now back up to C3, Coyotes are WC2, Wild on outside looking in.

I know many folks here hate the Blue Jackets but how sweet would it be if they took down Tampa from the WC2 spot?? (Would be even cooler if Shea and the Habs did it, but I just dont see them hanging on to that spot)
