Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

The Pens won the cup twice under Obama so don't pin this on us :colbert:.

I am curious to see who won't go to the White House because of Trump. I'm guessing most guys will go though. NHLers are Republicans in general because their limited grasp of politics comes down to taxes = bad.

It would only be appropriate for a team with the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitri Orlov to be invited to the Trump White House. They probably know a lot of the same people!

I think the part some people have a problem with is the "If it's for team Canada maybe but otherwise no" thing. Which is kinda dumb to say because it undermines his whole point.

Remaining schedules for the Top 3 in the Metro (slash indicates back-to-back):

Well hopefully they don't need that last game to get in because they're not winning it. Leafs have been bad on back to backs and that's a tough draw.

Oilers are now only 13 points away from clinching a playoff spot. If they can beat LA in regulation tomorrow, their biggest game of the season to date, then they'll only be 9 points away.

This is such strange territory and I can't believe how close they are to ending the playoff drought. I just hope they don't pull an Oilers and gently caress this all up.

They aren't missing the playoffs. They still have 4 games against Vancouver and Colorado.

Yeah, the Leafs' home stretch is rough, but it's not great for Tampa or NYI either. Tampa's got a decently tough schedule, and while NYI has an easier set of teams, they're playing almost entirely on the road and have three back-to-backs.

e: Toronto also has a game in hand.

Gonna be a real limp to the finish.

Alright, this doesn't matter, but I don't understand why the Caps are above the Jackets in the standings. The Jackets have equal ROW with them and more overall wins. What are the tiebreakers?

We ended the BlueJackets long rear end 16 game win streak so that means we automatically win any tiebreaker. :colbert:

They're really far down into the tiebreaking procedure, I can't figure out what's the stat being used:

quote:

If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order: The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season. NOTE: In standings a victory in a shootout counts as one goal for, while a shootout loss counts as one goal against.
