OT: Around the NHL: Countdown to the Playoffs

[ColePens]

Man Grubauer is playing really really well. The Kings only have 6 shots but some really great chances.

 

[ColePens]

Kings take 1-0 lead over Caps. Nearing end of 1st

Boy you are WAY ahead of me. I'm running nhl.tv on my roku. You have to be a full minute ahead. I just got the goal.

Center Ice on Fios. For what I pay for the service I should be a minute ahead of The Staples Center.

Does the speed of this game seem somewhat lumbering and slow? This isn't the Devils vs Panthers, that's for sure.

Slow, for sure. But not as slow as Boston and Philly earlier. My god, that made an ECHL game look like Pens/Lightning 2016 ECF.

Some food for thought, something we haven't discussed much; I wouldn't be shocked to see Columbus snag either the 2nd or 3rd seed in the East. Flyers have lost 5 in a row, and the Devils haven't been setting the world on fire (except when they play our boys, of course) for the last 2 months. Columbus doesn't exactly have the toughest schedule, and both the flyers and NJD have relatively brutal schedules going forward:

Vs. Detroit
Vs. MTL
@ PHI
Vs. OTT
@ BOS
@ NYR
Vs. FLA
Vs. STL
@ EDM
@ CAL
@ VAN
Vs. DET
Vs. PIT
@ Nashville

There are a couple tough games, but for a 14-game stretch, it doesn't get much easier than that. And only one back-to-back (tomorrow), and that's with no travel. Pens have four more b2b's, ALL with travel.

Now that I think about it, they're my pick for the Metro 3rd seed.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Devils beat anyone besides the pens since the last two wins over us?

 

[ColePens]

I forgot who said it but any time they beat us, they immediately go through hell.

 

[ColePens]

Oh man oh man. Wilson took a puck straight to the face and ran off the ice.

I don't care if you hate him or not. I hope he's okay. It went right into his head.

 

[SirBrad]

Damn that looked brutal in real time but I think he will be alright. Couldn't get a really good look. LAK back up 2-1

 

[Tom Hanks]

Rangers currently being outshot 17-0 after 11 minutes.

They’re really committed to that rebuild

 

[ColePens]

Two goals batted out of the air in this period. Impressive stuff.

 

[SirBrad]

They’re really committed to that rebuild

But is Henrik? Gonna be a fun one to follow the next few years.

Never wish injury on anyone, including Tom Wilson. But that couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

 

[ColePens]

What doctor in their right mind allowed Wilson to go back on the ice? Seriously. And the officials did a great job by stopping a fight with a guy who literally took a puck to the head. Wilson is a damn fool.

The league HAS to do a better job. The guy took a puck to the head. Concussion symptoms can pick up through the night when all the adrenaline stops. This guy is on the ice. What f***ing world is that safe?>

 

[ColePens]

Props to the ref who was clearly saying "Watch the head" due to the stitches and safety. Great job officials to get that fight stopped.

 

[ColePens]

Dion has been a hot damn mess at keeping pucks in the zone. Like 4-5 pucks he can easily keep he flubs.

 

[Tender Rip]

We'll be playing Florida in the first round. Book it.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Nice. LA with the regulation win.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Suck it Caps.

 

[ncm7772]

LAK complete the hat trick.

 

[ncm7772]

We'll be playing Florida in the first round. Book it.

If that happens, I'm not looking forward to that.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

If that happens, I'm not looking forward to that.

I wouldn't look forward toward Jersey either. But I'd definitely want home ice for as long as possible in the playoffs.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Things can change quick from week to week. After our 3 game losing streak, some were jumping ship. We get back to winning again...now flyers and caps fans are predicting their teams fall out of the playoff picture

 

[TheStatican]

What a great night. Caps, Devils and Flyers all lost outright, the latter in the dying seconds of their game lol completing the trifecta. Hall's streak finally ended. Kucherov, McKinnon, McDavid, Giroux & Hall held to a combined 4 points no more than 1 for any. Laine did get another one but Ovi was held off the board. I'm liking it

 

[StaalForOne]

We'll be playing Florida in the first round. Book it.

They've been red hot for some time now. I think we'd come out on top of that series, but can't take them lightly with the stretch they've had.

If Hornqvist can get in Luongo's head in one game, imagine where he'd be after 3.
