lol 3 out of a possible 10 points that we desperately needed. Good f****** job you goofs
For the division spots:
Montreal is 10 points ahead of us with a game in hand, so that's not happening.
Ottawa is 4 points ahead of us with 2 games in hand.
Boston is 2 points ahead of us with a game in hand.
Not in good shape for a division spot. I know it's not a lot of points to make up, but this team can't string two wins together.
For the Wild Card spots:
Washington is 9 points ahead with 2 games in hand.
Philly is 4 points ahead, even in games.
Toronto is tied with us, 2 games in hand.
Florida is 2 points behind us with a game in hand.
Carolina is 3 points behind us with 2 games in hand.
Detroit is 5 points behind with 2 games in hand.
Isles are 6 points back with 3 games in hand.
Based on what I've seen from the team this year, I have little faith we are better than any of those teams.
Ottawa is actually 2 points ahead of the Lightning. Boston and Ottawa are tied with 44 points.
Anyways, the Atlantic division is so ****ing ****** this year that i wouldn't worry at all about the Lightning right now. Even one small win streak would put the Lightning right back in a playoff spot.
Once they get going (and they will get going), they will lock down the 2nd spot in the Atlantic division while the rest of the rest of the Atlantic teams besides maybe Buffalo and Detroit will be fighting for the 3rd spot. Even then though, i wouldn't at all be surprised if Buffalo and Detroit gets back into the playoff race considering just how bad the Atlantic division is this year.
You guys are looking at this all wrong. Colorado and Arizona have the top 2 spots locked up but the Islanders are just 6 points behind us in the 3rd spot with 4 games in hand. With the way they're playing and how we are we can be in that 3rd spot in no time. Prime position to land Hischier or Liljegrin. We could have that stud 2nd line center and trade Johnson and he will eventually push Stamkos to 2C or #2 defender behind Hedman so we can trade any number of our other defenseman. The only problem is Bishop is still out awhile and we really need him back crapping the bed so we keep losing.
And if the Lightning don't get their act together ASAP, they'll be looking up at Toronto for the rest of the season.
One small losing steak could put them out, one small winning streak for any other team furthers the distance.
Why do people assume other teams will stagnate if their team wins?
It's scary marner and Matthews are already good when they put more muscle on as they age they are going to crush us for years.
