Around The NHL Discussion 2021-22 Part III

[Linkens Mastery]

VAN is playing for their playoff lives right now!!!

Dang, they are a small team.

The fact that Vancouver is still in the Hunt for 2nd WC/3rd place in the Pacific is amazing to me.

There’s something about Chris Kreider scoring 50 goals that just doesn’t feel right.

They are really taking the play to Vegas. Extremely active sticks in all zones, almost to the point of frantic.

 

[Blueston]

Sanheim was +1 with 7 blocked shots tonight in game Flyers lost 9-2. So want him on blues.

 

[TheDizee]

vegas steals a point but lehner is so f***ing bad lmao. dude over commits on everything.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Unbelievable win for Dallas tonight.

The Sharks are mathematically still in the playoff race. Funny

They're not though. They may not be mathematically eliminated, but they're about to the point where they'd need every team ahead of them to lose-out in order for them to make it in. They have 8 games to make-up 6 to 8 points, since Dallas has a game in hand. Even if Vancouver won-out to get to 98 points, they'd need the Stars to get no more than 9 points in 9-games. Dallas has had a couple such stretches this season of getting that few points in a 9-game stretch; but it would literally take Dallas' worst stretch of hockey the season coinciding with Vancouver setting a franchise-record winning streak of 12-games to close out the season. Ain't happening.

Im more talking about the 3rd Pacific team. The Kings are very catchable for Vancouver and Vegas.

I dunno. 6 points back with a game in hand and a brutal schedule facing Vancouver. Even without Doughty, the Kings should be able to hold onto their playoff spot. Their schedule, outside of tonight's game with the Avalanche is very soft. The Knights have a very tough schedule remaining. My money would go on the Kings to make it.

I'd definitely prefer the Kings to make it over Vegas and Vancouver.

Great job by Gary on the 2023 Winter Classic. Two teams in a location that we have not seen yet, it should be a must watch!

 

[Frenzy31]

That will be a great Match up in Boston.

We almost had Kreiser in a Shatty deal
