If they lose out, they finish 2nd last. The game against Arizona tomorrow is the biggest must lose game in franchise history. Defeat is now our only ally, we need no longer fear the slick recesses of ruination. Reach out and take the ragged hand that is proffered. It promises solace in a world fraught with success.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

Is Vegas auto-picking in the top 3? I remember them having the same odds (I think) for the lottery picks as the 29th place team, but what position are they slotted for without a win?

they get the third pick of every round. effectively, this year theres 31 teams in the standing for the draft and vegas is locked at 29th. avs are 31st, yotes and canucks fighting for 30th and 28th

quote:


After Dan Bylsma admitted to being “very concerned” about Kyle Okposo’s health, word came that the Buffalo Sabres forward is hospitalized and in intensive care.

Okposo is in the Neuro Surgical ICU at Buffalo General Hospital, Paul Hamilton of WGR-AM 550 reported Wednesday. The Buffalo News has confirmed the story.

Okposo has been sick since March 28. The 28-year-old has visited doctors, but Bylsma had no diagnosis to announce Wednesday.

“It’s a difficult thing for him to be dealing with now in this situation,” Bylsma said in KeyBank Center. “Very, as a coach and a person, concerned for him and his situation.

“He’s seeing our doctors and done some tests.”

According to the website for the UCLA Neurosurgery Department, the neuro ICU cares for patients with all types of neurosurgical and neurological injuries, including stroke, brain hemorrhage, trauma and tumors.

“He’s sick and ill,” Bylsma said before the report when asked for further information on Okposo’s condition. "Very concerned."

So when do the leafs get eliminated?

they have to lose out without getting more than one point (against pitt, cbj) while the bolts beat buffalo. toronto loses the tiebreaker if bolts beat buffalo in regulation/ot (assuming they do so against montreal tonight)

ducks cinch p1 if they get a point against the kings tomorrow or oilers don't win out. oilers cinch at the worst p2 with one point in two games against the canucks. sharks will be either p2/p3 depending on how the oilers finish

"I've never seen a guy play with a torn MCL and ACL," DeBoer said. "It's a courageous effort as I've ever seen."

Thornton missed the first two games of the series after suffering the injury April 2, and managed to record two assists while seeing almost 19 minutes of ice time.

Thornton himself said he's scheduled to see doctors Monday and expects to need surgery.

Now I'm really hoping one of those enormous recapture penalties gets triggered, and the team is forced to dump a key player (or 2 or 3) to get under the cap.

Preferably the Canucks in 2021, just as they've rebuilt into a contender :twisted:

realistically if it comes down to it the players are just going to hang out on ltir without officially retiring for however many years. pronger got into the hhof and a job at nhl headquarters while still being an "active" player
