Preds win in the shootout against Columbus. Flyers now have a 3 pt cushion.

i like variance just as a matter of personal preference, but i also dont like how it wouldnt go as technically according to seed. it wont matter a ton because boston and tampa are both stacked, but generally, the metro is a tough road. i'm tired of having the pens have to play washington before the conference finals every (frank)ing time. and yes, im aware that sounds like a rich person complaining about taxes. i just think its another example of the league trying to force things. its a heightened version of their whole WEDNESDAY NIGHT RIVALRY thing.

I like it because they don’t play their rivals as much as they used to during the regular season

also.. the canes played last night.

You best believe the Toronto media will have everything known about this goalie to make this loss look even worse. I love it!

All the other teams around them at the bubble are also playing like legit playoff teams.
