gently caress Kane but yeah in what way is a game boring when it has a hat trick, 66 shots on goal (including 31 in the 2nd period alone), and 51 hits? That sounds like a pretty fun game.

shyduck posted:Ugh the Flyers have a road trip at the end of the month going through Winnipeg, Minnesota, Columbus and Pittsburgh. I can't help but feel that's going to be the season right there Hell, if anything the season is this week. Winnable games vs. Buffalo, Toronto and Boston all on the road. I still think they finish just outside the playoffs but if nothing else maybe they gently caress things up for some of the higher up teams.

ESPN posted:Ken Holland of the Detroit Red Wings has suggested expanding the playoffs to nine or 10 teams in each conference with play-in games similar to MLB, and the strength of the Metropolitan Division this season -- where the fourth-place team has more points than the Atlantic Division leader -- has generated some questions.  yeah, OK there Ken.

shyduck posted:So the Atlantic is the new Southeast Division This year, yeah. I don't think anyone predicted Tampa Bay to fall as hard as they did and the fancy cats are still hurting, neither of which helps things. Buffalo's still in patient rebuild form and had Eichel out for a while. Detroit is a 100% disaster.

Putting Detroit in the east and fixing up who's in what division seemed to fix a lot of the problems from beforehand, like Detroit playing a playoff game at 11PM eastern time because it's against LA. At this point I don't see why you need the divisional round.

How often do the GMs meet? If they do after the end of the playoffs (i'm assuming they would) then i could see season/playoff-altering decisions made at that point. Trying to decide on those items when you're 1 month from the playoffs would be a huge mess.

A straight-up league seeding would give us this as of right now: Toronto vs. Washington, Isles vs. Wild, Nashville vs. Chicago, Boston vs CBJ, Ottawa vs. Pittsburgh, Calgary vs. NYR, Anaheim vs. San Jose, and Edmonton vs. Montreal. Not gonna lie, that would own.

Yeah I get that the Sedins have deep roots in Vancouver but i really can't imagine people giving them a hard time for making one last run somewhere while the Canucks are very clearly in tank/rebuild mode.

lol at levitate's av also if you want to see exactly how atrocious the flyers have been since the start of the year, their SBNation page has you covered! quote:Entering last night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres, the Flyers’ goal-based metrics at 5-on-5 were nothing short of horrid. Their Goals For percentage of 41.74% ranked 29th in the NHL, ahead of only the Colorado Avalanche, and it’s been even uglier since the turn of the calendar year. Over their past 26 games, Philadelphia was outscored 26 to 50 during 5v5 situations, good for an eye-poppingly atrocious 34.21% Goals For percentage. No team has been worse in 2017.

CBJSprague24 posted:Do they factor in the goalie's impact on what the team did versus what they were expected to do or is it just "best goaltender in the league"? If they do, does Holtby get points knocked off because "He's on the Caps" whereas Bob gets extra credit because "your team was supposed to be flaming poo and instead might get home ice in the first round"? I think Vezina's mostly just been straight up best goalie.

ImplicitAssembler posted:- Sedins don't look like they're even trying. They had 3 shifts where they put some effort into and looked good, but so many bad passes and half-arsed efforts. They're 36 years old and stuck on a disaster of a team that clearly isn't making the playoffs. At this point I don't blame them. alternatively, maybe management got them drunk too

Blashill's probably not a great coach but let's not pretend he was inheriting greatness and hosed it all up. When he showed up, Detroit was an aging Datsyuk, a couple middling-to-bad goalies, and a headshot-throwing defenseman that the TV crew couldn't stop jacking off over all combined with a bunch of low level grinders and GOOD MICHIGAN BOYS, most of whom range from 3rd line talents to those that should never leave the AHL level, and all of them tied to contracts that even Paul Holmgren wouldn't have offered.
