[Aragon of Odin]

I wanna see the Leafs take 3rd in the division and play MTL in the first round(I think OTT will take first)

broke his stick, broke del Zotto, broke Mason.

[Obsidian]

Probably broke Philly's playoff hopes too.

Edmonton scores 14 goals in 2 games, McJesus only has 1 goal and 3 assists. Confirmed bust prospect.

This weekend will probably decide it. Home and home Sat/Sun with Ottawa, then another game next sat. If either team sweeps those 3 games, it will pretty much seal the fate of first in the Atlantic. But if its not a sweep, heres how the rest of the season goes

Games remaining against non-PO teams (if the playoffs started today, ignoring games in hand):
Ottawa 5/10 (including vs Pittsburgh and @ Minnesota), and 4 of their last 13 games are at home.
Montreal 9/9 (Ottawa is the only playoff team they're facing), and 7 of their last 12 games are at home.

Montreal has the much much easier schedule of the two teams.

Perrrrrrddds! I think that is the first time the Preds have won at the VC while I've been attending.

I can't hear you from up here in the Top 3

I've noticed in fantasy hockey every match up one player is getting a bonus 5 points but I have no idea why. I've messaged Sepp but I think he's mostly off line this week. Anyone got any idea why this is happening? It's actually affecting the match ups with some people.

[Judai]

lol, just saw this, from the 06' NHL draft. BOS wanted to trade the 5th overall and 37th overall picks to move up one spot to the 4th and draft Backstrom. This was the convo and GMGM's "decision making process".



tl;dw

Spoiler: show

GMGM asked who they wanted to draft, BOS said The Swede, GMGM went and sat down at the draft table, told his team who BOS wwanted to draft, and proceeded to bullshit for a a little, to act like they were actually talking it over. FUCK NO BAHSTAHN, WE WANT THE SWEDE!!

Have I ever told you, you look marvelous?

BOS ended up taking Kessel at #5 btw

Leafs just signed Miro Aaltonen to an ELC(former Ducks 6th round pick) coming off a strong season in the KHL

No clue. But I lost a ton of potential points on Tuesday because of the blizzard postponing the Jets/Devils game so I'm not complaining haha.

Bout ready to delete the nhl app. Got all the notifications turned off yet I somehow keep getting gamecenter pop-ups. Flukey goal for buffalo to tie the game. Wonder which ducks team will show up for the 3rd.

[DFJS]

Goalie for buffalo just got them at least one point. He's made some fantastic saves tonight. Even though the ducks are out shooting buffalo i think they've been the better team tonight. Ugh overtime.


Fucking shootout. ><;

[DFJS]

Both goalies put on a show tonight. Ducks got caught looking ahead to tomorrow.

You were saying?



Seriously though, given how Anaheim, Edmonton and Calgary are all playing right now and considering that Anaheim plays both Calgary and Edmonton 2 times each (albeit, we don't play each other anymore), I honestly have no idea how this is all going to finish out. All 3 teams are going to be constantly jumping up and down from 2nd place to the first wildcard spot night after night.
