Around the NHL: Part IV

[GoAwayPanarin]

Rangers got tired of hearing how they lost their heart and soul with the Zucc trade so they decided to steal Tampa's.

I know its 3 in 4 for them but holy shit, they've looked like the AV Rangers for the last 5 periods.

Yikes the lack of effort from Tampa. If they don't get to at least the cup finals this year major major disappointment.

DeBrusk is really good, never realize the wheels he had

He's a terrific player. He basically saved that team from probably the worst first round draft (2015) any team could possibly have.

 

[FultonReed]

I am in awe that Cizikas and Filppula are having as good of a season as they are having.

Cizikas is a consistent guy in the role he has. given the type of coach he has now, it was a matter of time before he thrived, imo

At least Philly got a point.

And now the Oilers win. Good things happening tonight. Vancouver-Arizona is another important game.

3 pointer with Vancouver winning would be perfect

Yup. Sadly I'm watching this game. Hopefully a 3-pt game, but at least 1 team gets 2 points.

 

[bl02]

I'm much more worried about vancouver than the Yotes. The Yotes can really be decent if they get healthy. They will probably just miss the playoffs but they will pass us. The Canucks on the other hand are not that good and if they fall out of the playoff race its a coin toss at best they finish with more points than us.

 

[bl02]

And now the Oilers win. Good things happening tonight. Vancouver-Arizona is another important game.

Oilers finish with at best 75 points. That means we have to get fewer than 11 points in our last 19 games for them to pass us.

 

[bl02]

Rooting for Dallas. don't see LA coming close to passing us plus need to somehow get Dallas to win few rounds in the playoffs or would it be better for them to miss the playoffs and get a better second rounder from them??? lol.

We should have beat them last night. Outplayed them. They are going to likely have this effort till the playoffs.

Yeah, The bottom 5 are so bad I don't see them winning more then 3 or 4 games a piece the rest of the way. Hope for 6th worst and a ping pong luck.

Speaking of the Yotes, looks like our old buddy Derek Stepan went down with a pretty bad leg injury. Went into the boards backwards at a strange kind of angle and couldn’t put any weight on his leg.

Of course that team claws their way to 1 point away from a playoff spot and then Stepan goes down. Unreal.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Not a bad night for the tank last night. 3pt games (Dallas/LA with Dallas winning, Florida got a point VS Vegas, Philly got a point Vs Columbus).

Edmonton got 2 (though against Ottawa) and Arizona got 2 (though against Vancouver).

Rangers still sit in 23rd. Tonight's games for the tank:

• Buffalo Vs Pittsburgh (Sabres!)
• Rangers Vs Montreal (Habs!)
• New Jersey Vs Philly (3pt Devils!)
• Anaheim Vs Vegas (Ducks!)

Yeah that team has horrible luck with injuries. On paper, especially next year, I really like their team

 

[ThirdEye]

On paper were probably as bad as any team in the bottom 10, but we seem to have an x factor in Quinn so it's wishful thinking we'll finish 6th I think, unfortunately. Hopefully players drop and we can get a hold of someone ranked 5-7 in the 9-10 spot

Or vice versa lol if we somehow ended up 5th or 6th (which is a stretch) we could pick someone ranked "lower" hey you never know?! We might have even picked Kravtsov much higher than even 9th if its true we had him ranked second best forward behind Svechnikov.

Ottawa just fired their coach. That should fix things.

It was really a good night for the Devils. The Kings and Oilers got points. Like you said tho at least the Stars won, Florida got a point, and philly got a point).

They need a coach who can develop players.

Well source here 24 minutes ago: Coach Guy Boucher has been fired by the Ottawa Senators

I still can't believe that the Rangers lost to that shit show of a team a few years back. f***ing AV and his obsession with Staal-Holden.

They did take Pitt to double overtime game 7. Also as per Hf boards we weren't even expected to get by round 1 that year. We were supposed to lose in 5 to Montreal
