Hawks clinched the West to the surprise of no one. Too bad the West is basically just them and everybody else right now. It'd be nice if somebody stops them before they reach the Stanley Cup Final yet again.

ThinkTank posted:Oh don't worry, they're going to win 3 of their last 4 and managament will go on about how this is "the youth taking a step forward," "fostering a winning environment" and how they "have momentum going into next year" before they pick 8th. I managed to completely whiff on 6-7 playoff teams (depending on what happens with Tampa/Boston). That's spectacularly bad. The best ones: quote:5. Colorado (WC2) - De-Roy-ifying the team ends up leading to a playoff birth. quote:3. Arizona - My rationale for this basically comes down to "They're not a Pacific Canadian team" (which all suck) and "Need some team to get lucky and make the playoffs" quote:4. New Jersey (WC1) - Hall ends up being the offensive catalyst for their playoff return. quote:8. Columbus - Grit only takes you so far. And my personal favorite: quote:7. Edmonton - Even McDavid can't save us.

Jamwad Hilder posted:do you guys think Connor is going to hit 100 points McDavid? I think so. He's playing his best hockey of the season right now, and his final 4 games are against 3 non-playoff teams (Kings, Canucks x2) and the struggling Sharks. I'm sure he'll get at least 6 points from those 4 games.

Avs got their 22nd win of the season by coming back from 3-0 down to beat the Hawks 4-3. They outshot them 51-27.  They're at 47 points, 3 games remaining. Can they reach 50?

It's okay, the Sharks will beat the Oilers on Thursday to take home ice advantage back because the Oilers are garbage on the road right now. e: Powershift posted:The dude during the oilers game said the oilers/flames are 0-36 in southern california arenas. That's only the Oilers losses in LA and the Flames losses in ANA combined. Oilers won their last road game against the Sharks, and their 2nd last road game against the Ducks.

JawKnee posted: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? No. They're the default 3rd overall pick without the draft lottery, but their position can still change due to the lottery, so they aren't guaranteed a top 3 pick. So they can pick as high as 1 and as low as 6 with the draft lottery. Other rounds they're always the 3rd pick.

Ginette Reno posted:If the Caps can't win it all this year I don't know what to say. Letang is gone, Werenski is gone(?), the rest of the East is whatever, and nobody in the West is on their level except Chicago. They will fall to the best player in the NHL Connor McDavid and the mighty Edmonton Oilers in 7 in the Stanley Cup Final.  In all seriousness, I feel like Washington's just one of those teams that you can't see winning until they actually do, like the Sharks until last year (at least until the SCF). I certainly hope they win so Ovechkin can win the Cup. I'll keep doubting them until that day comes, though, especially if they face the Pens in the 2nd round no matter how injured they are.

Turns out when you don't make the playoffs for 11 years season ticket holders are gonna scalp the gently caress out of tickets. (still gonna find a way to go to the first game though)

Oilers are only 1 point away from getting home ice advantage in a playoff series for the first time since 1991. Also Talbot now has the Oilers wins record and McDavid is up to 97 points, just 3 away from 100 and both remaining games against the Canucks.

Hey now, there's still one more regular season day to go, let's hold off first until we at least know all 8 series. Currently, there are 4 confirmed series. Rangers-Habs, Pens-Jackets, Wild-Blues and Hawks-Preds. If Oilers win tonight then there will be 3 games that matter tomorrow playoff-wise (Leafs-Jackets, Oilers-Canucks, Ducks-Kings).

The Colorado Avalanche finished the season at a whopping 48 points, including 56 regulation losses. Now all that's needed is for them to fall to 4th overall after the draft lottery for this to complete the worst season ever.
