2009-10 NHL Thread

Hawks on a 4 game win streak with tonight's win over Dallas. In doing so, we set a franchise record with 50 wins in a season, and we have tied the franchise record for points (107) with three games left on the season. Now we just need San Jose to lose tonight.

Better be damn grateful!

He's a Winnipeg product and a great guy. Watched him destroy my high school team for years

[Ishido]

5-6-7 are really the only things that can realistically change in the West. Looking like it will be LA - Nashville - Detroit, 2nd most likely is LA - Detroit - Nashville I think.

Showed me how spoiled I am with the Wings lol...

Also Calgary forums have imploded with depression, lol.

[Thoronas]

The thought of a mass Flames fan depression makes me giggle every time i think about it.

Stat of the day: There are 8 teams with more points than the Penguins and they are 3-16 against those teams. 3-1 against the Sabres and 0-15 vs the rest.

[Selamis]

Eastern conference #6 and below wouldn't get into the playoffs if they were in the Western conference.

Now, can we have Detroit win 2 games and LA lose 1-2 so that Chicago won't draw Detroit first round?

5 and below would not be in the playoffs right now, Colorado has the regular season tiebreaker with 3 GR compared to Ottawa's 2. The East has been serious shit this year. Inc Eastern Conference Cup victory.

Definitely, I want to meet Detroit, but not in the first round.

IRRELEVANT.

Last season vs Caps: 1-3, with the 1 win being in a shootout, a non-playoff institution.
Result: VICTORY, 4-3.

Last season vs Hurricanes: 2-2.
Result: SWEEP.

Last season vs Flyers: 5-1.
Result: 4-2, probably should've been 4-3 had "What if Carcillo said 'no'?" gone down.

(Last example is an argument to give Izzy hope for Buffalo competiting with the Pens that it works both way for the Pens, we crushed the Flyers and they at least made the series competitive).

[Callisto]

The ideal situation of San Jose dropping a couple, Hawks sliding into first, and Calgary sneaking in at #8 is out the door unfortunately

I didn't realize he had been so heinously bad recently, lol.

[Ivaden]

To be fair, Fleury is still playing with a broken finger on his glove hand.




But tonight's goals had nothing to do with his glove hand. So he still sucks.

I think the Sabres would have a legitimate chance to beat the Pens, but I don't think Myers and Tallinder can stay on the ice for the full 60 mins to prevent Lydman and Montador from doing something retarded.

Agreed moar tears please NOM NOM NOM

Don't know about that.

Pens get scary in the playoffs.

[Palin]

Flames never recovered from that 11 game losing streak or w/e. They've been playing catchup ever since. To think at the start of the season they were firmly in hold of the Division and were favored to be in the Cup Finals due to their solid blue line.

Avs vs Sharks should be fun.

[Callisto]

Don't know about that.

I agree, if you mean like how Crosby looks like that dude from Beetlejuice that turns into that monster with his face all stretched out

[Absolutely Virtue]

What's the over/under on the number of power plays the Sabres would get per game against the Pens? 1? 0.5?

Let's see- small market club with tiny (but devoted) fan base, or LORD AND SAVIOUR OF HOCKEY.

[Callisto]

The only redeeming factor of the Pens is that I think Bylsma might actually be Charles Foster Offdensen.

[Ivaden]

Bylsma has been making a lot of boneheaded moves behind the bench lately though. Pulling the goalie with 8 seconds left or whatever? You're not going to score two goals, you know the other team is gonna feed Ovechkin for the empty net. You know him and Crosby are head-to-head for the goal-scoring trophy. At least give Crosby a chance lol.


That's just one among a lot of others.

Im glad Im not the only one who was upset with that. The faceoff wasn't even in the Capitals end if I remember right? I was radio'ing it with Mike Lange so Im not 100% certain but from what I gathered it was in the neutral zone.
