Yep absolutely with the other teams losing it keeps us level but if they can somehow manage to win all three of these games they have a small chance of catching the Pens. Then they have the honor of facing the Canes who we seem to play great in the playoffs.

Seriously wonder if we’re better off facing the bruins and hope for a real upset.

Anything is possible. I’d love to somehow get the first wildcard and also somehow get the devils. I think we’d match up nicely vs them in a playoff series.

In a regular season sense I don’t think we do. Their speed may be better then the Avalanche. Anytime I’ve watched them this season I couldn’t believe how fast they were. We all know that changes in the playoffs though and it’s their first time in a while so you may be right…

No way I'm lasting through this one. Hoping the jump ahead early so I can go to bed happy

Canes are a better match up, weaker goaltending and svetch is done for the year

Hughes and some of their younger players hasn’t been hit constantly like they’d be in the playoffs, also the clutching and grabbing that doesn’t get called and interference shielding d men. I think we’d match up very well vs them in their first playoff appearance

Meanwhile, the Oilers with a 3-goal lead over the Sens in the 3rd period.

For a decent skater, Sebastrian Aho falls over more than a unicycle rider with a busted eardrum

I like the Kings organ player. I’ve been playing the upright organ since 13. 😆

He had no one on him, was skating freely and just shot it down the ice. Like, it looked purposely. Like he aimed it.

Not sure, but I think Pelech had a couple guys rapidly closing in on him in the high slot.

Yup. Tripping.

And, I flagged this on accident. Why the (frank) are these buttons right next to each other?

Sorokin is a (frank)ing animal and I thought we managed to keep with them. Good period. Hopefully we can sustain it.
