2018-2019 NHL Regular Season Thread: Not Suck Back 2 Back

Quick has been awful all season. Campbell is playing better than him by a significant margin. Whatever. I get to watch everyone else yell and have heart attacks. I'll just have a beer and enjoy all the eventual OTs in the 1st round.

Bolts have a chance of setting the all the time record for most wins in one season. Would have to get all W the rest of the season to eclipse the 95-96 Red Wings record of 62.

That feeling when you're cheering for both Boston and Toronto to win their games tonight...

Kempny "going to miss some time"

Bruins clinch 1st round home ice!!

[Cail]

Dallas clinched

[Vaspinne]

I hope they keep the first WC. Albeit, not like Colorado is gonna be much easier. Would have been amazing if we got Arizona in the first round +_+

[Cail]

Forgot to post last night, we have our 2nd matchup of the 1st Rd clinched

Toronto @ Boston

Jets decide to cancel practice and hold a team meeting instead. After game 80 and being a .500 team since the start of 2019.

What in the collective fuck. It took them three months to finally decide they have problems?!??!

[Vaspinne]

How shitty has the central gotten that the Jets can be that mediocre and still be the best in that division?

Not even trying to be a dick here Blue, but seriously, if the Jets have been .500'ish since the start of the year, how did the strongest division not even a season ago drop so badly?

[Obsidian]

They have had a very shit record over the last month or so. I don't know about further back than that.

Central isn't great this year, but we're also by far the most even division; 16 points separate first (WPG) from last (CHI). There's never an easy game really and we all cannibalize points from each other.

Curious to see what happens the last few days of the season with the #1-#3 seeds. STL can actually win the division still.

[Vaspinne]

Ahh that makes sense. If all 7 teams are a lot tighter then say teams in the Pacific (where #1 is great, #2 and #3 are good and then there's a BIIIIIIIG gap and the rest are trash), would make sense that the division wouldn't have as many dominating teams

[NynJa]

As it stands right now, the Habs could finish with enough points to win the Central division but be out of the playoffs.

[Wulfgang]

Well we’d have more points if we traded MIN/CHI for OTT/BUF; bottom of the Atlantic blows.

One of the rare evenings I’ll pull for the Hawks; up 1-0 heading into the intermission.

[Wulfgang]

Rip Tank ties it

[bluefan]

Hawks kinda half failed there, pulling a Jets at the end of regulation.

But Jets will take all the help they can get because they can't seem to take care of their own business.

[DFJS]

Flames just going through the motions tonight. Can't really blame them but I'm surprised they kept gaudreau in the lineup.
