GDT: HFBoards GDT: 2/19/21 |Only 4 games tonight, but the battle of Alberta will be fun

[snipes]

But, the Canucks/Flames/Sens are good in comparison? Your logic doesn’t make any sense. There’s also only 7 teams in that division for 4 playoff spots.

I think you’re enjoying too much of that good old Canadian Maple Syrup, mate.

The Canucks and the Flames are better than all of the bottom 5 teams in the West, yes.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Buffalo would have a chance in the West

Without question

 

[Captain Bowie]

Why we talking about the West so much? None of them are playing tonight.

I don’t see what separates them from Minni, or AZ, personally. The Canucks are 3 games below .500 right now.

For a battle of Alberta game this sure is boring. Refs letting both teams away with way too much which is really slowing the game down.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

With?

Was hoping for more emotion, scrums, etc.

3 points, not 3 games.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

3 points, not 3 games.

Aren’t they 8-11-1?

That’s 3 games below .500

Its bad ice i think..

BoA is neutered, points mean more than pride

 

[Skolman]

One of the most boring BOA in a long time. Kassian is out, coincidence?

 

[Captain Bowie]

It.... isn't

17 points in 20 games is 3 points short of 50% of available points.

Why you ignoring OT points? 11-11-1 wouldn't be ".500". That'd be 23 points in 22 games. That's a .523 point%.

Refs shut Kassian down quick, he wouldn’t make a difference

 

[Paul4587]

Maybe that’s contributing but there’s a hell of a lot of interference, hooking and holding going on.

Oh, I always thought that if the win/loss record was the same that was the .500 mark. My B.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

I’d rather be waterboarded then listen to Campbell call a hockey game. She’s brutal.

Without the crowd and emotional build up in the arena it’s not the same.

 

[LTIR]

Thats normal vs McDavid..

 

[Captain Bowie]

.500 is a flawed concept in the current NHL point system. Because it's not a two outcome event.

 

[Three On Zero]

Oh, I always thought that if the win/loss record was the same that was the .500 mark. My B.

It makes sense both ways, one is just for the win/loss record and the other is for point percentage. You’re both technically correct

 

[PaulD]

The elite forwards division. No division has much high end offensive talent at the forward position as the North division does.

I watched the Ducks v Wild game last night, that was so slow and such boring hockey compared to the teams in the North. I wish the Oilers were still in the Pacific and got to play the 3 California teams regularly.

But yeah, it's pretty damn entertaining games in the North right now. The Battle of Alberta should be fun.

You couldn't pay me to watch the Ducks and Wild.
Best games I have seen this season include Knights Aves Blues. Caps Pens too.
Bruins Flyers.

North division sucks . The leafs and six notoriously weak teams

No prob it can happen to anyone. Here's a pic to visualize.

 

[Skolman]

Get Neal off the damn ice at this point in the game

 

[Captain Bowie]

Jesus Canucks getting some good chances but no finish tonight.
