Re: Another Twothousandthirteen NHL Thread

(except the leafs, they are a total mirage and are damn lucky there aren't another 35 games to go in the season). This is an excellent point, given that the Leafs tend to make some noise around early-to-mid season and then collapse throughout the final 25 games of any given season and inevitably mi...

Also, Jets/Caps/Isles/Rangers play lately aside, how bad is the East? If Pittsburgh is in the finals having played more than 15 games it will be a miracle.

With Crosby out and Malkin hurting, the Penguins may not be such a lock in the playoffs - not that I'd bet against them - just saying... Yeah that was assuming they're both good to go, which I think they will be. btw, Trav - are you going to set up the playoff scoring pool again. That has been a fu...

Re: Another Twothousandthirteen NHL Thread

What a huge game tonight. Can't believe the Jets have got 13 of 14 possible points in their last 7 games, and have actually lost ground to the capitals in that time. Win or the season's done for the Jets. Even if they could sneak past Ottawa for 8th, A Penguins 1st round sweep would be the easiest s...

Going to my final game of the (regular?) season tonight. Glad these are still meaningful games, I'm paying way too much money to sit there and cheer for them to lose for a better draft pick. I get the theory, but don't know how people in Edmonton could put up with that year after year after year. C...

Re: Another Twothousandthirteen NHL Thread

Last night was a great "man, what a stupid setup" moment for the Rangers. Toronto sitting 5th, Rangers in the mix from 6th through 9th, and best case scenario was an OT that pushes Toronto into locking up 5th so we can max out and still not get above 6th. I need Deleware back so he can ma...

That's more than the Jays can say. I'm a pretty big Jays fan, but also a pretty big "Toronto sports fan in misery" fan, so it hasn't been all that bad this year.
