GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/9/21 | 7 games today - Flyers at Caps postponed

[snipes]

Hynes this intermission...

It’s ****ing embarrassing.

Atlantic would have been a scary division

The top-4 teams yes... Ottawa and Detroit would be freebie points. Buffalo most nights too. Florida has beaten Detroit three times and Hawks twice. Lost to Detroit, Nashville, Columbus. I don't know if you can call them world beaters.

I think the Oilers won a game last season when neither had a point, and it was the first time since November 2017 lol.

I just checked the logs, it looks like that didn't happen last year. Hockey-Reference says Oilers only won 1 game when Draisiatl didn't have a point (lol, 3/07/20 vs CBJ) and Connor wasn't scorless that game.

 

[JoVel]

First time the Oilers have won since November 2017 when both McDavid and Drai don’t get a point.

I can't tell if I should be more impressed by the two laugh at the rest of the team.

3/7 wins for Edmonton against the Sens. Didn’t deserve to win either. Smoke and mirrors. This team is not good.

CORRECTION: 4/8 wins against the pathetic Sens.

I mean, you could always lose against the Sens, which a couple teams have done.

I mean... who can usually stop them? Tonight was one where they were definitely off from the start. Draisaitl was making bad passes and lost the puck a few times... that rarely happens. Bad game from them for sure. Khaira and the D-men scoring saved the game.

Half-assing a game like tonight AND playing a sieve like Kosko.... and they still won.

Sens must have sacrificed a goat before the other games. Hockey Gawds must be appeased!

It's not that I care too much about "odds", but there's something really weird about how the Lightning were apparently back to the odds-on favorite at one point last week, they haven't lost a game since then (not that games at this point of the season really make much difference anyway, truthfully), and they're now back to #3 behind Colorado and Las Vegas.

It also doesn't make sense. Colorado and Las Vegas are in the same division. Only one of them can come out from there. The Lightning are in a much weaker division, You'd think their odds would be depressed just by virtue of that, by the 3rd round, at least one of them will be gone by default.

Yeah, you're right. I think they were close once last year, but one of them got a point late.

That's a ridiculous stat when think about it. That just shows you how valuable they are to team winning.

They look much more complete, surprise dark horse for a top tier team

They're also getting by on a lot of 3v3 OT/SO wins. Whatever gets you two points right now but the bulk of their wins are in a manner that has zero translation to how you win playoff hockey games.

Dunno... maybe bookies are trying get more bets on Tampa. Which odds are you checking?

 

[lottster14]

Pierre luc dubois debuts for the Jets?

It was just from a graphic NBCSN threw up before the second period. No research on my part beyond reading numbers on my television screen (hopefully correctly).

I thought it was odd the two favourites are from the same division. Logically they should cannibalize each other a bit.

Killorn and dumb penalties.

Name a more iconic duo.

That's just crazy... and Montreal's top D is an Oilers drafted and developed player

Touche.
