The Vegas - SJ game is a playoff preview.

 

[justafan22]

For the Leafs, they not only clinch a playoff spot if any of those scenarios happen, but they also clinch at worst (and likely finishing spot) 3rd in the Atlantic.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Oh my God, Philly's elimination conditions.

 

[Rubi]

I really haven't been paying much attention to how the Leafs have been doing recently on a game to game basis... I just know where they are in the standing ... So I'm a bit surprised that they haven't clinched a playoff spot already.

Will this be another year where expectations exceed performance?

 

[SnizzMitch]

If the Leafs win, Boston-Toronto 1st round matchup is officially confirmed.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Oh my God, Philly's elimination conditions.

It’s exactly as their fans said during their cold streak.

 

[I am not exposed]

Oh my God, Philly's elimination conditions.

Gave me a headache just reading it!

 

[Master P]

Oh my God, Philly's elimination conditions.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Barkov had 2 take-away's in his last shift, He is just so good.

 

[Matt24]

Bruins-Leafs series might turn into a goalfest. Neither Rask nor Andersen look very sharp right now.

 

[Coach Parker]

Bruins-Leafs series might turn into a goalfest. Neither Rask nor Andersen look very sharp right now.

Rask has been great. No chance on either goal today. Hell, the first one had three deflections.

 

[Matt24]

Rask has been great. No chance on either goal today. Hell, the first one had three deflections.

Okay, this is still probably going to be his sixth start in his last eight where he has a S% under .900.

 

[Coach Parker]

Okay, this is still probably going to be his sixth start in his last eight where he has a S% under .900.

Solid point. I see a Bruins team experimenting with the lineup and the D pairings as guys come back from injury so the chances they have given up are very uncharacteristic.

 

[Juicy Pop]

And Philly gets killed by another early whistle

 

[Michoulicious]

Talbot looks so bad. Habs/Colombus fans must not be thrilled he is in the net.

 

[Sam Spade]

The Vegas - SJ game is a playoff preview.

Except that there will be no Fleury tonight, so the result won't mean that much.

I'm assuming MAF will be back for the playoffs.

 

[DougieSmash]

lol at dallas clinching it with 90 pts rofl

 

[Rubi]

Except that there will be no Fleury tonight, so the result won't mean that much.

I'm assuming MAF will be back for the playoffs.

I'm assuming, that since MAF's status is "Fleury is out of commission due to a lower-body injury and there is no timetable for recovery.", he won't be available for the 1st round against SJ and therefore tonight's game could very well be a playoff preview.

Fleury's mysterious injury could be the Sharks' playoff gift

 

[BHD]

Bad goal given up by Rask.

Well that stinks for the Knights and definitely changes my upcoming betting on this series. I had just assumed they were being cautious with MAF.

They're also in a much more competitive division/conference so that contributes to why they haven't clinched yet.

 

[devbouz12]

Goalies are the difference in the Bruins Panthers game.

5 out of the 6 worst teams in the league are Eastern Teams (NYR, Buffalo, Detroit, NJD, and Ottawa)

I'm talking about the teams fighting for a playoff position. Toronto has more points than SJ and SJ clinched a spot a while ago.
