MILESTONE ALERT!
8th All Time in Wins
8th All Time in Wins
10 point lead on the Coyotes in the standings if we win tonight. They finally lost yesterday to the Ducks.
We still hate the Kings. Not gonna forget this gem.Well, Kings aren't much of a threat this season. Cool that Stone and the Knights are rivals with Karlsson and the Sharks. The two biggest Sens stars who fled the cheap a** owner are now going head to head. Looking forward to it!
Fleury was in the crease, and Tchapunk turned him by his stick. That's GI all day.Except tkachuk wasn’t in the crease. Why even have the blue paint? Fleury (who I love) rubs up against tkachuk outside the paint and its goalie interference? So bad.

For reference, I was looking through Sportsclubstats for Anaheim's playoff odds (or lack thereof) and thought I'd check in on Vegas.
With a 4-7-3 record, Vegas would still have a 92.7% chance to make the playoffs. It would take a 3-9-2 record for Vegas to have a sub 70% chance to get in.
If they want to guarantee their ticket they need roughly 7-8 more wins. Looking through their strength of schedule:
Vancouver (shouldn't be hard)
Calgary (tough one)
Dallas (on the easier side)
Edmonton (easy)
San Jose (tough)
Winnipeg (less tough, but who knows, they're gearing up to do a lot better in the playoffs, could be tough)
Detroit (In full Lose for Hughes. Easy)
St. Louis (tough. In charge of the wild card battle right now)
Avalanche (very beatable these days, I can see them falling out of the wild card race by this point)
Minnesota (should be easy)
San Jose (tough)
Edmonton (should be easy)
Arizona (by this point I'd doubt they're still in the Wild Card race, but I can see them trying to be spoilers)
Kings (should be a win)
More than doable with how this team is playing.
I'm not saying the team should think like me.No game is easy.
The second the Knights think a game will be easy is the exact moment they will lose the game.
I don't consider teams like Detroit and the Kings an easy game. Teams that don't have anything to play for anymore are the teams that are most dangerous imo.
I know new team and all that and he definitely has had a positive impact on the team, but I don't really feel like Stone has taken over a game yet. You kinda want a guy making an AAV of 9.5 million to do that from time to time.
I'm not sure which Sens fan said Stone takes over games ( I know I read it on 1 of these threads) but watching him for the last 8 years i'd disagree. He's not flashy. He's exactly what you're seeing, takeaways in the defensive zone creating transition out of the zone, playmaking 5v5, 3v3OT, and PP, PK'ing, communicating, giving 100% effort every game, and usually shots on net producing goals, but holy crap I've never seen him miss the net as often as he has in his 5 vegas games. You guys got smaller nets out there or something? He contributes in all aspects of the game but isn't flashy or game controlling from what ive seen. Just a solid consistent contributor, game in game out.\, who will eventually start putting up more points. I'm sure he's just getting settled in learning systems and teammates tendencies on ice.
