GDT: Out of Town Thread-NHL Play-Offs Edition Part VII

[13Hockey]

I'm not quitting. Tell me who they beat in regulation and who they make it to OT against?

you dont think they can beat the panthers who are 23rd in the nhl in wins this year

 

[13Hockey]

Bruins currently have a 79.6% chance to make the playoffs

if they lose to Washington they will have a 67% chance of making it

 

[GloveSave1]

Well whatever happens, hats off to the Senators. They deserve it the most out of everyone - they could even have a run at the cup at this rate. I just hope we squeeze in there too somehow.

Nahh, if the Sens make the playoffs they will be giddy...and exhale after an epic run...

...and get waxed in the first round.

But hey, "we were just happy to be here."

That's exactly I think also. I don't think they expected to make the playoffs at all. The Sens fired McLean, didn't make a trade deadline deal to bolster their playoff hopes and brought up an AHL goalie. They didn't think Hammond would be so successful. I see a Steve Penny in him.

No team has ever missed the playoffs in NHL history with 96 points this year is insane

Colorado and Dallas missed with 95 points that is currently the record that will certainly be broken this year

Makes you lament the losses to cellar dwellars like Edmonton, Carolina etc this year. Could have been made so much easier.

Every team has lost to cellar dwellars this year who is on the playoff bubble

Ottawa Lost to- Toronto 3x, Carolina 2x, Buffalo 1x, NJ 2x

Detriot Lost to - Toronto 3x, Buffalo 1x, Arizona 1x

Pittsburgh Lost to- NJ 2x, Carolina 2x

etc.

I dunno man. Momentum is a big thing. They must feel invincible in that dressing room right now

If I was one of the top teams, Ottawa is the last team I would want to play. We have long been waiting for the wheels to fall off but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Hopefully the Rangers see it this way and take care of business before they end up having to face them. A team with nothing to lose who is red hot is a scary opponent.

not a chance IMO

There is absolutely no quit from that team, they might lose in the first round but they won`t get "waxed", they might be exhausted emotionally from the incredible stretch they have had but.....

Haven`t looked or know if other boards have a thread such as we have had discussing first round potential match ups but I`d guess there isn`t one fan base who`s actually been watching this run the Sens have been on who have said "I want them in the first round"

 

[TCL40]

The Bruins aren't winning tonight.

They can't score on Holtby, the Caps own us and the Caps want home ice.

I don't see Ottawa losing in regulation in either of their games.

Detroit has cake on Saturday and the Habs should beat the. But you never know.

Bruins need to solve Holtby tonight but I'm strugglingnto be confident.

It's because so many teams lost so many games this year-buffalo and Arizona barely earned 55 points and there are 5 teams with fewer than 70 points. It's ridiculous.

If Ottawa moves up to 7 and plays Montreal they will win. I would even give them a shot against the NYR.

The caps have nothing to win tonight, their record is as good on the road than it is on home ice. I think they would rather see Ovie and Holtbly take it lightly.

Still makes me think back to October and losing in the final 0.4 seconds to Colorado in regulation. I had a feeling then that Daniella Briere goal was something of significance. Lets hope it was not lol.

Yeah, it really does.
Better hope it doesn't come to that cause you don't have to look far to find the games you flushed points down the toilet.

Is this real life?

Every year a 7 or 8 seed knocks out a 1 or 2 seed, and that will happen again this year.

Teams like Ottawa and/or Boston this year will already be in playoff mode when the playoffs begin.

Add to that that a split on the road results in huge momentum coming home for 2 games.

The Bruins have won quite a few games late in the 3rd. I'm far more pissed off by the annual 8 points left on the table by Julien against Montreal.

The fact the Bruins' players scored only 2 goals total in the last 3 games against the Habs should be the main concern.

0 or 1 goal in 5 of the last 6 games.

 

[missingchicklet]

Watching last night's game, as soon as the Sens got their first goal to make it 3-1 it was an automatic feeling in me that "well, they are going to win this one." It's crazy how hot they are and how you expect them to win come hell or high water. The confidence level in that group is ridiculous. Thank goodness the Bs have put on a decent little run as well. The Sens continued success has made every next Bruins game the biggest game of the season. I would love to see both the Sens and the Bs make the playoffs.

 

[KnightofBoston]

So does anyone know the scenario that would have ottawa and boston in, Pittsburgh out?

 

[njbruin*]

The Bruins will be playing 3 teams who have nothing to play for so they need to get there on their own merit. No excuses , let's go Bruins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caps are playing for home ice in 1st round.

If Pittsburgh finishes with 1 win and 1 regulation loss Boston and Ottawa need to both pick up 4 points to pass them.
