Eklund: Sabres Protected Players? Kings NOT DEAD Yet. New Standings. Buzz at Noon

stop it.

carolina, la and tampa are not in a playoff race.

the only playoff race that exists is the isles/bruins/leafs.

Nice try Ek. You were 7-5 last night. Not 8-4. Keep lying. Why break a trend?

The Sabres are not protecting Tyler Ennis...

If anything they would be jumping for joy that his cap is off their books

Expect Moulson and Ennis to both be left unprotected

LA would have to win out to make the playoffs. And even then..If the Flames finish 5-3 LA is eliminated.

LA is out

EK, I think you referred to TB instead of Boston in your projections.

TB is six back of TO in real life and are three back in your projections.

Read over your blog and make the changes EK !!

Dear Lord EK, you've managed to confuse yourself on these projections.
Ek, honestly......do you review before uploading ? Terrible mistakes !! Really shows us readers how seriously you take this site !

Why is Gionta an issue to be protected, he's a UFA?

Gionta is a UFA..........

Hey now. I'll have you know that Ek was 8-4 last night even though he only had 7 correct! Ek has SERIOUS options.

I hear ya !!

Well said, Calgary loses two in a row and its like they're automatically out of the race. They hold a 9 point lead on LA too, including two games against the Kings down the stretch. I think Calgary still has this in the bag.

Somehow the super computer has eliminated one of the Kings loses on the year to make them finish with less losses then they have now. Wtf are you still doing this for ek it's a joke and so is this site. I will not log on once next year and hope the rest do the same. You should not be getting paid for your knowledge of hockey. You have none. Flyers suck so does this site.

One option would be to quit embarrassing himself. He should take that option more seriously.

I'm having trouble finding a 3rd defenseman worth protecting.

Gionta is a UFA..........

If true...

LA is not going to make up 9 points in 9 games. What kind of calculating is that? Also, Minnesota is not going to finish 8-1 with the way they have been playing the last few weeks.

Hey Eck, How much is it going to cost me on Patrion to get that hole fixed above mikes head!! "It is makes me nutz!!!!"

He was whining on the Hockey Buzz show today about me and others correcting him that he had 7 right instead of 8.

LA's only realistic chance wasn't passing CGY, it was EDM when they still had 3 games against, plus EDM's schedule down the stretch was tougher than CGY. Once LA dropped the game to EDM, they were done.

LAK not dead yet? Life support yes so just pull the plug lol
Missed PO's 2 of 3 years so somebodies head should roll.

Sabres protect Kane, NHL protects Crosby. Amirite?!

The Kings would need at least 93, more realistically 94 points to make the playoffs. That means they have to go 8-0-1 in their final 9 games of the season. It's mathematically possible, although extremely unlikely.
