Brayden Schenn is worthless.
- MikesPillBottle



I was never a huge Schenn fan but he is probably one of the few guys who does his job. He scores goals. Is there a bits of his game I thought were better...sure. But right now I can count on him for about 20 a season.

Past 3 years.

Well I did the math quickly, but they would need A LOT of help from teams above them. Plus I did say a chance...to make the playoffs.

P.S. 9 wins would be 88 points.

Well the best (worse) they could do for draft position would be 5th overall. My best guess would be 7-9th, but they could still get top 3 if the ball falls right.

Loss of Raffle= loss of season

Coincidence? I think not.

His 11 points are sorely missed.

I want the bottom to fall out. Kids to play damn well but maximize that draft position.

Don't teams do the stick raise to the fans at the end of their seasons now? That may be worth watching.

They've just played such a boring style of hockey all year, I kind of want it just to be over, so I see where you're coming from .

A twenty goal scorer? Wow! We rarely have any of those!

You give someone else that icetime on that line and we will have the same production.

ahah Yes I'm an idiot.. I was thinking 96 got them in last year, but was also thinking they'd have to go like 13 and 1.

NYR already have 90 points, so realistically they only have a chance for the last wildcard.

4 wins just to make up the points to catch the Islanders and...screw it they have NO chance to make the playoffs.

It would take a miracle. They don't deserve such an outcome.

That stat makes me want to punch someone. You can't make someone a first line winger just because you put them there. As I tell people, we're a team made up of 6 top 9 forwards surrounded by 4th liners. That's why we suck.

1000% agree (more back math!) I was thinking the other day about the 04 team that had that brawl vs Ottawa. What fantastic entertainment that team was going all the way to the ECF. I was also thinking how absolutely boring this team is to watch in comparison. ugh..

Did he ever reach 20? You could be right. Maybe G was dragging him down.

I have never missed more than a few games a year. Now I walk away from the TV and do chores because it's more enjoyable.

Playoffs could be fun.

I'd love for a Nashville vs Columbus final. Two smaller clubs, who are generally fun to watch.

Agreed, nor do they deserve it. They'd have to go on a 11-3 tear and hope all the teams ahead tank it. Prob with that is that the teams ahead of us will prob be playing each other now and again and might also have 3 pt games. This equals over.

21 goals in 14-15.

If you take away Schenn power play points he sits at 5 goals and 13 assists. Now it's not fair to stop those points but I did and I enjoyed it.

I'm in the same boat for sure. Normally I am right into it, but now I just watch the odd period and then go watch paint dry for a dose of excitement.

Paint drying is a ton of fun compared to a flyers game.
