Apparently.

There must be an algorithm for this. I think Detroit is only 6 points out based on these calculations.

Guy, the Kings are 5 behind the Blues who occupy the last wild card spot.
- gergeswillems


I realize that, but the Kings do not play the Blues anymore, and the Blues have the conference's easiest remaining schedule. The Kings aren't likely to catch them, considering they have some tough games left (8 of their remaining 14 games are against Calgary, Edmonton, Anaheim, or Chicago). However, if the Kings go 3-0 in their remaining games against Edmonton, they only have to gain one more point of ground on the Oilers to get in.

Like I said, if they're going to catch anyone, it's going to be Edmonton.

Yep. Too bad we traded Vanek. He might kill us in the Conference Final.

If only there was a consolation bracket instead of the draft lottery where teams played best of 3s.

Taking a hammer to the face is more informative than listening to Augello.

Basically Russ likes to hear the sound of his own voice and never shuts up and interrupts anyone who talks. Mike just rips off Elliot Freidman, Kypreos and whatever he hears on Hockey Central at noon and also rips off people in the chat room but never gives them any credit. EK talks about growing up in Cherry Hill New Jersey and how he wasn't in the NHL because his parents wouldn't let him play ice hockey while all his friends did. Mike wears the same sweater he bought at Wal mart in 1995 and never takes a day off. I basically fast forward through it and watch a few minutes just so I can make fun of them. This will be my last post because I'm quite sure the sensitive Sally's will ban me for this.

Interesting....
The Leafs may be the best team of rookies ever assembled.

Oh yeah they are (frank)ed. Good thing they made that big trade for a goalie that gets to sit and watch them miss the playoffs.
- Feds91Stammer


I honestly don't understand that trade..... then morons like EK say that Miller will want to go to LA and ride the bench too.....

didn't really cost LA much to get Bishop, Quick could just as easily get hurt again, Budaj was struggling for the past month, and at the time if the team could string some wins together, they had a better shot at making the playoffs.

instead the team still can't score and likely won't make the playoffs. at least they didn't give up high end prospects or picks this time. too much ground to gain with this popgun offense. either they put 40 shots on net to lose 2-1 or 3-2, or they score 4 goals and allow 6. that kinda season.

it made no sense. with less work budaj is fine. see TB.

and lombardi didn't learn from the vinny.l debacle. Igninla was not the move to make.

You guys needed to add scoring. Might be time for Lombardi to move on.
