Ya but 8 points in, 12 games left. Cough cough Leafs cough cough. Although Abby wil make it. We'll probably play the Marlies first round.

 

[Lunatik]

With Charlotte's loss to Oklahoma City it lowers the Heat's Magic Number to 4 points.

 

[Mr Lebowski]

I really like Bancks. Could he be a 4th liner?

 

[Mr Lebowski]

I remember watching Oil change and them saying Labarbra fixed a huge goaltending problem.

 

[Mr Lebowski]

First penalty we've taken all game. I'd put Jones-Bancks and Street-Reinhart

 

[Lunatik]

2:45 left, 30 seconds left on PK

 

[Mr Lebowski]

Is Lafranchise worth signing? Every game I've seen he's looked great. He's only 25.

MAGIC NUMBER: 2 POINTS
​

 

[Lunatik]

Oops, forgot to give Rochester their 2 points for today's win, Magic # may actually be 1

edit: nope, still 2

 

[Lunatik]

Apparently the Utica loss was a collapse of epic proportions. Less than 2 minutes left in the game and they actually held a 5-2 lead. They gave up 3 goals in 46 seconds including 2 shorthanded goals! Then then lose in overtime.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

According to the AHL page Toronto is a division leader, and sits 3rd in the conference. This would put Chicago 4th and our most likely matchup.
If this is the case, can we just not loan Cundari to them for awhile?

My bad, I used excel and didn't think about that when I sorted by points. I will make sure to fix that after today's games.

 

[Johnny Hockey]

AH what line has baertchi been playing on. Has his ice time been increased lately?

The future is bright in Vancouver.

he played the last 2 nights with Tim Miller and Corban Knight. With the injuries/recalls in recent weeks there have been no steady lines. He has been playing a top 6 role since Granlund was recalled.

That makes sense, thanks for the insight. It's good to see him putting up more points in a bigger role with the team.

MAGIC NUMBER: 2 POINTS

Any Heat win of Rockford loss will result in the Heat clinching a playoff berth as the Heat have 5 more regulation/overtime wins than Rockford and the Heat won the the season series.
