The chase for the playoffs (standings, scoreboard watching, and, of course, sagacious commentary)

[stevo61]

Probably not making the playoffs without Jones. It was a good run though.

Who knows, maybe Z can be a true #1D, I just haven’t seen it yet.

Not making the playoffs without Panarin.
Not making the playoffs without a veteran goalie replacing Bob.
Not making the playoffs with Korpi injured...
Always so doom and gloom around here. Yeah Jones is our best player but 1 man doesnt make a team and we have seen that all year. There is still a good defense and the team D wont change, this is just another oppurtunity for someone to step up and the team to come together even more

These injuries only seem to make them stronger.

Yeah most teams crumble but seems teams like us and Pittsburgh almost play better without the whole team . This will be a tough loss but im pretty curious and excited to see if Nuti refinds his game or see what Peeke is capable of with some icetime

We haven’t made the playoffs without Bob and Panarin.

 

[stevo61]

We haven’t made the playoffs without Bob and Panarin.

The team is in position to do so and thats a lot more than most people around here expected coming into the season

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

We haven’t made the playoffs without Bob and Panarin.

Bob and Panarin weren't here in 2009.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Bob and Panarin weren't here in 2009.

If "and" is literal, then 2017 neither.

 

[Cowumbus]

But they haven’t yet.

 

[Cowumbus]

Bob and Panarin weren't here in 2009.

Talking this year. The poster insinuated we are going to make it this year without them. Which before the Jones injury was still up for debate.

 

[Madifer]

The news is extremely upsetting, I hope the team's spirit can survive this. :\ this by far the worst news since Panarins departure.

Why Seth and why now ffs

 

[Finner]

Next 3 games are must wins if we want playoffs. We have affort to lose 10 games for pace 100points. 15wins for last 25games its hard when we look to incoming games. TBL 2x PHi x2 PIT, BOS, CAP, Canadian trip 3games. 2x NSH. I think those are the hardest games. Hopefully Seth isnt out for rest of the season.. We can do this but its going to need one hell of the team.

 

[Madifer]

I have accepted the reality. This team was too damaged psychologically and f***ed up the first two months but right now its "too injured".

I no longer believe the Jackets make it to playoffs this year.

we just played two top teams which we battled hard and outplayed at times.

Then today We were up 2-0 and tied it up late.

I don’t see indication to give up on this team.

PP is shit, OT play is shit, offense is lacking. We have a big room to grow

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Positives:

CBJ gain a point
NYI lost 5-0 to NSH
NYR won in Shootout in MIN. Long game and more travel
TOR lost 3-2 to DAL
FLA lost

Negatives:

Jackets choked a point away
PHI won 6-2

We will end the night in WC1. Tied with PHI for WC2, 4 points ahead of CAR (they have 2 GIH), 5 ahead of FLA ( they have 1 GIH)

 

[Fro]

Only 3 game behind Wash rn...for 1st

 

[ViD]

If Carolina chokes in the next two games, we might start to get some cushion

 

[EspenK]

Isles showing signs of imploding. Gonna be a dog fight.

 

[Cowumbus]

Flyers games next week are the first round of the playoffs for us. Need to get 3+ points in those two games.

In short, we're running into some speed bumps, but so is pretty much everyone else.

 

[Fro]

Need the flyers and Isles to stumble...and we need a streak of a few games...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Boy I just looked at our March/April schedule. We had better get some guys back

16 games total: 13 games total against current playoff teams. Two of the non playoff teams are Carolina and Nashville, who will be desperate for points.

At least we play PHI twice (back-to-back games) and NYI once more. Those games look to be huge 4-point swingers.

I'll repeat it again. even if the team doesn't make the playoff. just the chase for a spot was more than anticipated and was fun. still think this is a good year for the org.

Sure beats the last place finish all the pundits had. Nice growth from some players (Werenski) too.

 

[Fro]

Very much agree @pled
