Your team is eliminated and everything sucks! Now what? Do you have some entertaining kids to start building a team around? Are you just going to keep tanking but instead start doing so in front of 1/4 of the empty seats you used to play in front of? Perhaps you're going to "aggressively retool" by extending an enormous defenseman with all the power AND all the maneuverability of a standard US WWII battleship! [tuba noises] Maybe you can kill some more beloved alumni! Are you going to find some other drains to piss into? Maybe your team is now in bizarre ownership limbo after the death of your owner! Perhaps you can keep telling everyone how this coming year you're totally back and the kids are going to be great and please ignore the goaltending and hey stop laughing at our jerseys that literally say jersey on them that's quite rude! Maybe you're thinking about continuing doing uh... [rubs back of head awkwardly] [shuffles papers] whatever the gently caress Detroit is doing! Hey! You could keep running goalies out of town! That'll definitely fix it! It's time to complain about it here! Hockey is terrible!

Mr. Kite posted:From the last thread... They're a great success story for the league and it's nice seeing an American city genuinely embrace hockey like that, especially one outside the North East. It depends on how the next few years go, but Vegas is almost certainly the only American city where hockey is the most popular sport in town. With that said, them becoming a big market, immediately having a ton of success (especially against my team) and becoming a kinda dirty team powered by cap shenanigans and a heartless management made them very hateable. I will savour their elimination like a fine chardonnay on a pleasant summer afternoon.

Perhaps you're going to "aggressively retool" by extending an enormous defenseman with all the power AND all the maneuverability of a standard US WWII battleship! [tuba noises] God, I hope not! Maybe you can kill some more beloved alumni! We already did that last summer. Are you going to find some other drains to piss into? Uhh...sure?

Is this surely the year the Chicken Little prophecies about your team come true even though they're sitting on 101 points and going into the playoffs with four (4!) skaters at a PPG pace or better, have a third-line center with 45 points, and the Rags are a slumping or injured Igor Shesterkin from being very beatable? e- How in the hell did an '=' show up before the word "about"?

You do realize they've lost in the first round the past three years right, including one to Montreal of all teams? They've also been complete and utter poo poo for the entirety of March. They've also been dominated by the team they're about to face in the first round. Don't get me wrong though I expect no pity and deserve none. And I am more optimistic about their chances than most here. Anything can happen in the playoffs and dumb teams go on runs all the time like Montreal last year. But this team looks about as dead walking as a team can going into the playoffs.

Remaining playoff scenarios: Dallas/Vegas are the only remaining in or out scenario and only barely. Only Oilers with home ice against Kings is fully decided. St.Louis/Minny is also set, but home ice is TBD. None of the East is set. The teams are in and the 4 higher seeds are set, but 3rd/Wildcard order in each division is in play. East Florida and Leaf’s are set 1-2 Tampa has a magic number of 2 on the Bruins for 3rd. Winner gets Toronto Bruins/Tampa loser will finish ahead of Washington/Pittsburgh loser and be WC1 and get the Canes. Carolina is set and will face Boston/Tampa Rangers set at 2. Washington/Pittsburgh can’t be decided until game 82. Winner gets NYR, loser gets Florida. West Colorado is set, just waiting for opponent. Could face any of Nashville, Dallas or Vegas. St. Louis will play Minny, just a matter of who’s at home to be decided. Minny has a game in hand, but Blues have the tiebreaker. Won’t be decided until game 82. Nashville has clinched, needs to play even with Dallas to be WC1 and play Calgary, else Avs. Dallas has at least clinched going to tiebreakers against Vegas. Anything other than 2 regulation losses by Dallas and 2 Regulation wins clinches for Dallas. Could finish WC1, 2 or miss out completely. Flames are set and will face either Nashville or Dallas Oilers/kings is the only 100% locked in series Vegas are theoretically alive but everything has to go perfect. If they make it, they can only finish WC2 and get the Avs. Non-Playoff teams with a chance at a non-lottery assisted top 10 pick. Only 2 lottery slots this year, so the worst a team can do is position+2: Habs and Coyotes will be 1-2 Seattle, Philly, Jersey will be 3-6 Chicago is 4-6 Sens and Wings will be 7-9 Sabres could go anywhere from 7-11 Ducks and Sharks are 9-11

Kirill Marchenko, after hearing about him for what feels like an eternity, is finally, officially, coming to the NHL. https://twitter.com/markscheig/status/1519290770464858112 quote:Marchenko’s another legitimate potential top-nine NHL forward with a pro frame and more of a knack for scoring than facilitating. He has been a top player and producer in his age group in the KHL for the last three seasons (and should be playing more than he is this year). He’s a strong and sturdy winger who plays the game with skill characteristic of a smaller player, with A-grade hands and touch with the puck which helps him fool goalies and defenders one-on-one or feather a shot into a specific location in the net from a tough angle when there isn’t an opportunity to blow the puck past a goalie (which he can also do). (https://theathletic.com/3096472/2022/02/05/wheelers-2022-nhl-prospect-pool-rankings-no-6-columbus-blue-jackets/) The CBJ are going to be interesting going forward, especially given the glut of forwards which could turn into trade chips. Ignoring any potential deals, early spitballin' for next year could have: Laine-Jenner-Voracek Bjorkstrand-Roslovic-Nyquist Johnson-Sillinger-Chinakhov Texier-Kuraly-Robinson Marchenko/Danforth Werenski-Peeke Gavrikov-Boqvist Bean-Blankenburg Christansen Merzlikins Tarasov Arivia posted:Yeah, sorry, I don't do these very often.
