NHL Around the NHL XXIV - Bubble Hockey Continues..............

Ryan Donato a healthy scratch for the Wild

i have nothing against Donato and wish him well, but what a trade for Bruins to get Coyle...

 

[kthx]

Wild still haven't scored once on 5v5. Quite sure this game ends up being 0-0.

 

[Bruinaura]

Do ya think??

 

[JoeBeef15]

So does Minnesota still hate that they got Fiala because of Fenton?

 

[DKH]

Tom Wilson so dirty

 

[prizminferno]

we're live for the 3

 

[Bruinaura]

Tom Wilson so dirty

One of these days he's going to break somebody's neck

Flyers 2-0, that 3 and NYI is in sight

 

[Trap Jesus]

Every time I watch them play I'm more impressed with Hayes than Couturier. He's actually a beast of a 2C despite the contract. He's noticeably strong defensively.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

It’s pretty hilarious how much better Kevin is than Jimmy.

Flyers 2-0, that 3 and NYI is in sight

3 could also be Carolina if Pittsburgh wake up and don’t lose against the eternal losers.

I think they're done, they aren't good anymore lol

NYI we have done reaaaaaally well against the last few years

 

[Trap Jesus]

If the Bruins are in situation where beating Washington (with Carlson, Kuznetsov and maybe Wilson being questionable) could put them in a spot to face the Islanders they can make up a lot of ground on this abysmal start really quickly.

Flyers 2-0, that 3 and NYI is in sight

Flyers 3-0

 

[Jaguar God]

Who would have thought the Bruins and Caps would potentially be battling for third place. Flyers look strong.

They look good enough to sweep the lowly Habs so that I won’t be mad if they beat TB for 1st seed on Saturday.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

So can someone explain all the possible scenarios that are left for the Bruins if they win or lose on Sunday ?

They win in any fashion, they're the 3rd seed. They lose in any fashion, they're the 4th seed.

 

[prizminferno]

Playoff opponents if 4 seed:

• PIT if PIT beats MTL
  
• CAR if MTL beats PIT

Playoff opponents if 3 seed:

• CAR if PIT beats MTL
  
• NYI if: MTL beats PIT, NYI beats FLA
  
• TOR if: MTL beats PIT, FLA beats NYI, TOR beats CLB
  
• CLB if: MTL beats PIT, FLA beats NYI, CLB beats TOR

Scenarios are now very easy to understand:

Saturday (TBL/PHI): Whoever wins gets first; whoever loses gets second.
Sunday (WSH/BOS): Whoever wins gets third; whoever loses gets fourth.

Washington's loser point is officially worthless. If we beat them in OT, we tie WSH 2-2 in standings, and it reverts to regular season %, so we win anyway.

Since TBL and PHI are tied in the RR standings, they can't be tied after their game on Saturday.

Loser of Boston/Washington game will face

- PIT if PIT beats MTL

- TOR if MTL beats PIT + FLA beats NYI + TOR beats CLB
- CLB if MTL beats PIT + FLA beats NYI + CLB beats TOR

Winner of Tampa/Philly game will face

- MTL if MTL beats PIT
- FLA if PIT beats MTL + FLA beats NYI
- CLB if PIT beats MTL + NYI beats FLA + CLB beats TOR
- TOR if PIT beats MTL + NYI beats FLA + TOR beats CLB

Loser of Tampa/Philly game will face

- FLA if MTL beats PIT + FLA beats NYI
- NYI if PIT beats MTL + NYI beats FLA
- CLB if MTL beats PIT + NYI beats FLA + CLB beats TOR
or
CLB if PIT beats MTL + FLA beats NYI + CLB beats TOR
- TOR if MTL beats PIT + NYI beats FLA + TOR beats CLB
or
TOR if PIT beats MTL + FLA beats NYI + TOR beats CLB

They win in any fashion, they're the 3rd seed. They lose in any fashion, they're the 4th seed.

Simple! Like it..lol

 

[JRull86]

f*** the f***ing Blues, and f*** Craig Berube and his smug ass face.

Also, this review has gone on for 2 mins now, call should stand. Ridiculous.

 

[JRull86]

Took them 5 minutes to confirm that.

Ridiculous. Looking for a reason to overturn.

 

[TD Charlie]

Yeah I’ll take the 4 seed at this point. Thanks.
