I don’t see how we miss the playoffs. Would need to be really bad for a sustained amount of team which outside of that weird start to the season we really haven’t been. We just in like every other game.
Casey let it in to boost acquisition odds.Also nice to see Meier scoring in his audition. That's Hextall's plan, right? Right?

sorry, he’s been hiding under his desk for a while now.Also nice to see Meier scoring in his audition. That's Hextall's plan, right? Right?
Not sure if getting 2nd or 3rd is even desirable anymore. Is drawing the Rangers or Devils a reward? The Rags look like legit contenders now. I've watched their games recently.True.
Also hard to see us move beyond a WC though. Long odds of going beyond that frustrating 1st round exit, but I suppose this year at least that won't be as much of a failure as we will in all probability lose to a better/significantly better team.
we've stood up reasonably well to Tampa Bay as well but would need crazy good goaltending to do that in a best of 7. Irrelevant, I reckon, as the point is moot.Not sure if getting 2nd or 3rd is even desirable anymore. Is drawing the Rangers or Devils a reward? The Rags look like legit contenders now.

And the Devils have the best GD in the East besides Boston.
Much like last year, there just is no good matchup.
Out of all East playoff teams I like how we play Toronto the most, but it's impossible to play them in R1.
With 29 games left in the season, and 63 points in the standings, we would need at least 17 wins to get to 97, which is generally the bar for making it in. That's a 17-12 record over the rest of the season. That's pretty good odds-wise but still very feasible to drop out.I don’t see how we miss the playoffs.

Fair point with Tampa. Playoff Vasilevskiy still terrifies me though. Gimme summa dat Matt Murray instead lol.we've stood up reasonably well to Tampa Bay as well but would need crazy good goaltending to do that in a best of 7. Irrelevant, I reckon, as the point is moot.
Rags are feeling it now for sure, but they're still fragile. They sucked before Trouba had his helmet-throwing tantrum in early December. Sadly, Tarasenko looks like a great fit right now.
Rakell is clearly the way.Rakell is love, Rakell is life.
Slightly stained Kessel shir-seyWow the pens beat two lottery pick teams and got royally punked by playoff bound team during the California trip.
What are you lot wearing to the parade?
I agree with this statement. It seems they're kind of naive/stupid in this kind of situations. To me a coach is a teacher and Sully seems to be not that great of a coach/teacher.Not to be that guy, but this was a concerning win if there ever was one. Have a 2-0 lead when you're a fringe playoff team against a horrible team and almost blow it because you refuse to play conservatively. Either Mike Sullivan is a moron or the players just do what they want. Either scenario is fixed by getting rid of Sully. Just like every game against the Rags in the playoffs last year, they had a lead where they could have just clamped down defensively and likely got to the next round. They flat out refuse.

What they don't know, is that we're sending Blueger there for Meier....Lol, the SJ commentator ripping into Blueger when he missed the ENG. Brutal
Rust needs to be traded before it's too late and his value ends up being negative!! I still think he is worth something out there and we can get decent assets back. But with Hextall, who the hell knows what he is planning!!Game was on too late for me but it looks like Rust is continuing to tank any line he’s on.
+1st+Pickering? yea I'd do that. Then walk away from Dumo and Zuck in the summer to make a deal for Meier.What they don't know, is that we're sending Blueger there for Meier....
I'm ok with that but I ain't really no fan of walking away from both those players. If that's the plan, trade them at the TD and get some assets back. Meier can step in for Zucker, we can add a bit of depth from assets received in a Zucker and Dumo trade.+1st+Pickering? yea I'd do that. Then walk away from Dumo and Zuck in the summer to make a deal for Meier.
Something along the lines of trading a 25 year old on pace for 40 goals this season for Hallander or acquiring a guy years past his prime, only to extend him to some stupid contract.But with Hextall, who the hell knows what he is planning!!
