Non-Minnesota NHL News XIII

[Minnesota]

Bunch of Scandellas.

The Oilers could/should be relegated to the NBA if that's the case.

The Oilers could/should be relegated to the NBA if that's the case.

Now now, there's no need to hit below the belt when insulting the Oilers.

 

[TaLoN]

The West is so dominating the East this year... it's made the standings even more insane in the West than I can ever remember!

There are 8 teams currently in the West with 24pts or more. There is only ONE team in the East with 24pts.

Right now, the "On Pace" requirement for the last Western Conference playoff spot is 109pts. The "On Pace" requirement for the last spot in the East is currently 87pts.

It sucks thinking about how many good teams in the West are going to miss the playoffs, while the bottom feeders of the East make it.

 

[TaLoN]

Think about it... the Wild's all time best season was 104pts in 06-07.

Now they would need to get 5pts MORE than that, just to be the last playoff team in the West.

We need to be better against the east than we have been so far. If the rest of the west is obliterating the east, we need to as well.

When we face the east... 2pts is a MUST.

 

[NHL1674]

Yeah, so maybe Luongo wasn't your problem tonight, Nucks. The rest of your team was.

[tyratoku]

Edmonton...

 

[TaLoN]

^No doubt! Even worse... they (Edmonton) are 1-5 vs the Metro division... likely the worst division in the league!

To put that in perspective... the REST of the West COMBINED has only 3 regulation losses vs the Metro division!

A combined record of 32-3-4

SJ/WPG overtime was crazy! Going to a shootout.

 

[mezcal]

Couple of really good stops by Pavelec and a goal from Ladd and the Jets win in the shootout 5-4

 

[W75]

Stamkos hurt. It's his leg, looks bad.

 

[Lapa]

Stamkos injured. Looked pretty bad. He looks like he's in a lot of pain.

Leaves the ice on stretcher. Feel bad for the guy..

 

[Lapa]

Salo injured. Bruins score 2 goals in 20 seconds.

Bolts fans must feel bad.

 

[W75]

And only minutes after that Salo leaves the ice, knee or something..

 

[Victorious Secret]

That Stamkos play looked brutal. He won't be back for a long while.

Yep. It's a shame. Stamkos was having a great season.

 

[Avder]

Stamkos

He's on my fantasy team too.

Don't know if our mods view this as politics, but..

Speaking of press, in Sochi journalists will be banned from taking pictures, videos, with phones. Why go? Media should just stay away.

Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union.....

Twitter is also banned.

The way this is going, the only players who are going to want to attend will be Russians, and I bet the IOC is going to think twice before offering games to Russia again.

 

[Victorious Secret]

I'd rather watch the WJC anyways. Or go. Since its in Sweden.

 

[Lapa]

Agreed. Hell, maybe the next Olympics will be shared by China and North Korea..
