I thought the Kings did a smart thing for once and tanked by giving up 3 quick goals to the Blackhawks. But then they just had to come back and win. Kings/Oilers again.

Welp, that does it for the regular season. For kicks I ran an Elo simulation of the year. I weighted down OT and SO results (to .75/.25 and .55/.45 respectively). Here is a power ranking no less arbitrary than all the others. Carolina Hurricanes (1305) New York Rangers (1291) Winnipeg Jets (1288) Dallas Stars (1284) Florida Panthers (1273) Colorado Avalanche (1267) Vancouver Canucks (1261) Boston Bruins (1252) Edmonton Oilers (1241) Nashville Predators (1238) Tampa Bay Lightning (1235) Toronto Maple Leafs (1235) Los Angeles Kings (1230) New York Islanders (1222) Vegas Golden Knights (1217) Washington Capitals (1216) Pittsburgh Penguins (1203) St. Louis Blues (1199) Buffalo Sabres (1198) Minnesota Wild (1192) Detroit Red Wings (1187) Calgary Flames (1169) Philadelphia Flyers (1169) New Jersey Devils (1167) Arizona Coyotes (1160) Ottawa Senators (1152) Seattle Kraken (1145) Montreal Canadiens (1141) Columbus Blue Jackets (1107) Anaheim Ducks (1088) Chicago Blackhawks (1059) San Jose Sharks (1027) Biggest upsets: 2024-04-16: Columbus Blue Jackets (1095) def. Carolina Hurricanes (1316) 2024-04-06: Chicago Blackhawks (1069) def. Dallas Stars (1288) 2024-04-01: Columbus Blue Jackets (1098) def. Colorado Avalanche (1286) 2024-03-30: San Jose Sharks (1026) def. St. Louis Blues (1213) 2024-02-25: Columbus Blue Jackets (1110) def. New York Rangers (1294) 2023-11-25: San Jose Sharks (1074) def.

Shinjobi posted:It's just cowardly poo poo imo My biggest worry is that the Stars lose to Vegas again and that's all that Jim Nill needs to abandon the skill movement that they've put together the last few years and this franchise goes the direction of the 2016 Stars after they lost to the Blues. I think it's like 55/45 Dallas.. can't say I'm any more confident than that. Dallas may have slightly more talent across the roster, but ultimately it looks like a goaltending / OT results coinflip series to me. **I just remembered that Jani Hakanpaa hasn't practiced yet and DeBoer has been playing Nils Lundkvist like 5 minutes a night as the 6th defenseman in meaningless games against bottom feeding teams. Will be a hoot to watch Dallas try to play with 5 d-men against a 4 line team like Vegas especially if those games go into OT. Starsfan fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Apr 19, 2024 |

The Sharks end the season as officially the worst team of the salary cap era to play a full 82 game season, with the fewest wins (19), points (47), and worst goal differential (-150 holy dogshit) of any team of the modern era to date. The 2020 Red Wings might have ended up worse if not for Covid, they did have a lower points percentage but only 71 games were played so we'll never truly know. Congrats boys, you did it. Now don't lose the lottery.

I dont really care how it shakes out, I do not think the Stars right now are the same team that played Vegas at the beginning of the year, it's just extremely lame for a sport filled with idiot macho men to simultaneously throw a game because they're afraid.

I do think Dallas is the team to beat. Jets and Canucks are frauds, Avalanche are thin with bad goalies. Oilers have bad goalies and they're the oilers. Vegas awakened Stone from his eternal slumber, but they're getting too old for this poo poo. Dubois is not actually a beast in the playoffs, he just was playing against the Leafs the one time he did good. Nashville vs Dallas in the West finals I guess
