[the valiant effort]

Crosby already has 1G, 1A

42 goals is awfully impressive

Imama and McEwen are in Ottawa’s lineup and Rempe for NYR.

That should be entertaining, 3 AHL players

Ostapchuk is in the line up, too and he already beat Rempe in the WHL

Yeah Ostapchuk is a handful

Jacob Chychrun is perhaps the most over rated player in the league.

Jacob Chychrun is perhaps the most over rated player in the league.

Easily. Very soft player as well. Does he ever throw a hit ?

 

[Mrb1p]

Jacob Chychrun is perhaps the most over rated player in the league.

He's literally Matheson but wears a different jersey.

All 4 teams vying for play-off spots in East won today.

NYI clinched with a 4-1 win over NJD.
Washington beat Boston 2-0
Pittsburgh beat Nashville 4-2
Detroit beat Montreal 5-4 (OT).

Philadelphia was eliminated tonight. Washington is already at 89 pts & they hold tie breaker against Philadelphia. Philadelphia's maximum is 89 points.

For Detroit to make playoffs they need to beat Montreal and hope Washington loses in regulation or OT/SO to Philadelphia. If that happens, Detroit clinches.

If Detroit loses to Montreal, they're out.

If they pick up one point, and Washington loses in regulation, they're not eliminated nor do they clinch. They'll have to wait til Wednesday to see what happens with Pittsburgh @ NYI game. Pens would get in the playoffs with 2 points.

If both Detroit and Washington pick up a point, Detroit is eliminated and Caps are waiting on that Penguins game.

It's coming down to the final games for that last spot.

Matheson is way more physical and aggressive offensively. Much better player and I'm lukewarm on Matheson.

I think philly is not dead yet

Matheson has had more hits than Chychrun in one season in the last four. They are both very similar. Matheson's a better skater though, of course. Realistically they're both non starters for a PO team. Maybe as 3rd pairings or behind a very, very strong 1st pair.

 

[red devil]

Oilers up 8-1 and there is still 6 minutes remaining in the 2nd

McDavid only has 1 goal this game and 0 assists, so he still has 99 on the season

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I think philly is not dead yet

I just rechecked the standing if Philadelphia wins in regulation, they tie Washington in RWs, ROWs, and W, lol. It then becomes point head-to-head, which they'll probably lead.

That means Philadelphia will have to pull the goalie in regulation if the teams are tied late. Going to OT eliminates them, so Washington can clinch on an ENG.

There's more to being physical than hits. I would even say hits are just a minor part of it. Matheson engages physically every shift. Chychrun doesn't. He's soft as butter. He's not as dangerous offensively either.

 

[Mrb1p]

Crazy that you score 8 goals and Mcdavid only has one point and Drai 2.

Wouldn't say either are soft, though I haven't followed Jake since he got traded to Ottawa because f*** that team. Might just be the Ontario water system getting to him, its very common from Ottawa to Toronto.

Mcdavid with a 100 assists as he gets it on Hyman's 54th

 

[Frank Drebin]

Sharks suck shit

Legend. Too bad the asshat in TB will join him.

 

[Mrb1p]

Sid with his 12th 50 assist season. Ties oates for 8th all-time.

Sakic is the only other non-80s players to have more than 10 with 14.

 

[CHwest]

Sharks suck shit

Statement game for them. They take tanking seriously.

Well at least they have Grier at the helm. He's been a real magician with trades so far

Sakic is the only other non-80s players to have more than 10 with 14.

Where does his 92 point season rank for 36 year olds ? We've been witnessing incredible seasons this year.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Statement game for them. They take tanking seriously.

They've already clinched 32nd place.
