Telling you - we're gonna finish 9th. City's gonna be depressed. Literally the worst possible result. Can't wait.

Last time we missed the playoffs on the last game of the year was the year we filled the cupboards. No need to be a drama queen.

No way man. This is OUR year.
Should have traded everything for Johansson and Nyquist.

They did. One was traded in a horrible move and the other two had their primes wasted by Bergevin and Therrien.

But this is our year. It really is. For the first time in the last 30 years we have a bunch of over performing vets while we are in a position to rebuild. Every time we were in this position our vets were crapping the bed and not worth anything.
MB is in a really really really good position if he's willing to sell this summer. Petry can easily return a first or a 2nd and a good prospect imo. I don't know what Byron and Tatar are worth with their contract but probably a 3rd. Maybe a late 2nd for Byron. As much as we hate Shaw he has a reputation and he is the type of player a lot of GMs love. If he finish the year healthy the way he is producing he might return a 2nd.
We are in a position to acquire picks and kids for over performing vets. Something that never happened in the last 30 years. This said don't hold your breath MB will stand pat again and hope for the best.

He burns the house down and gets praise for trying to rebuild it
How about getting Colorado's 1st. They're drooling over getting Ottawa's 1st, so their own pick, likely in the 10th to 14th range, should be very tradeable.

Pens are short letang, Dumoulin, and matta. They’re also having goaltending problems. I truly believe if we play hard like we were before, we can grab 6 points here.

Same old crap: lack of firepower. Instead of tweaking the 4th line as usual, our useless GM should have gone out and picked up a rental goalscorer. Not a high ticket item like Simmonds mind you, because we are not a contender and giving up blue chip prospects and 1st round picks doesn't make sense, but would it have been all that hard to pry Mike Hoffman out of Florida? This team has too many guys who have a 'good two way game' in the eyes of the GM/coach, but can't bury pucks, and it bites them in the ass far too often in games like the one last night. Example: Lehkonen. I am beyond frustrated watching this bunch.

My gut tells me that this is going to happen also: I can't see us out-pointing Pittsburgh and Carolina.

On the off-chance that we somehow manage to squeak it out over Pittsburgh, it gets us a 1st round sweep at the hands of Tbay. If you can't claim 7th place, you might as well not make it at all.
I hear ya, I'm more anxious that we will make it. Every point we get from here on out is just hurting our draft pick.
I seriously doubt they make the playoffs. Their strength was the surprising strong toad record but that is now drying up. I expect another loss tonight
I think we'll finish 10th or 11th. The drama is going to be old by the time the season ends.
