Yeah, I hadn't looked at the mock drafts so much. Lindstrom, Eiserman and Dickinson will probably be gone by 12. Tankathon and Lines have us taking Helenius. Bleacher Report has us taking Iginla. Idk if position even matters. We will probably just take whoever is the best player available on...

So, we're probably drafting 12th overall and we can't draft 1st, even if we win the lottery. Pronman's April list now has 15 players listed as top of the lineup, 10 of those at bubble Nhl All-Star level. Unless Dickinson (9) or Helenius (10) slide to 12, I'm thinking we draft someone like...

We learned this season that we can hang with them for a long while, but then when playoff teams are shifting it into another gear, that's a gear we don't yet have. We need more clutch goal scoring and a lot of that will come with a better power play too. It's tragic how bad our power play has...

The end to our game was pretty fucking fitting too. Give up the first goal. Do just enough to tie it up and stay competitive, but also fail to grab the lead. In desperation late, we pull the goalie and almost immediately turn the puck over to Oshie, who scores into the empty net to give them a...

Well, as much as I'd like to win tonight, it will really suck if we knock the Caps out, let the Pens in and then lose a few spots in the draft order to Detroit, Washington and Minnesota. Everything has to fucking go exactly our way, even assuming we somehow beat the Caps in regulation, which I...

I guess they somehow go to the 6th tiebreaker (because we play two games in Philly and one in DC), which is then goal differential. Weird shit.

Yeah, I don't understand the tiebreaking procedure. Here is what is listed as #5: 5. The greater number of points earned in games against each other among two or more tied clubs. For the purpose of determining standing for two or more Clubs that have not played an even number of games with...

I was under the impression that the Caps beating Boston in regulation had us eliminated, but I guess if we beat them tonight in regulation, we still win the tiebreaker via points earned in the season series. I just don't see both the Wings and Pens losing their final game in regulation. If the...

Also, I believe this was a perfect shitstorm. We ran Ersson, Sanheim and York into the ground and they folded under the workload and the pressure. Part of that is as a result of losing Hart, Walker and Seeler. Part of it is replacements like Johnson, Drysdale, Petersen and Sandstrom struggling...

Well, I don't think this collapse, while extremely frustrating, erases all of the good that has come out of this season. I believe seven of our players have had career years. We're 7 wins and 12 points ahead of last season with still a home game left to play. Our overall goal differential is +30...

I would say 22% is a little high for us. If the Caps beat Boston in regulation or OT tomorrow, it's over. The final game won't even matter. Their regulation win over Tampa was big. It's a miracle that we're still in this race anyway. You can't lose a season high 8 games in a row this time of...

Probably the best result for the franchise now is to win on Tuesday, but still miss the playoffs. Detroit beats Montreal twice and gets in. Minnesota wins out and passes us. We finish 6th in the Metro, 11th in the East and end up 12th overall in the draft lottery. That gives us a 5.1% chance of...

Yes, the playoff chances are very slim, but Torts isn't done here. You can Google that and a bunch of articles pop up that read to the contrary. I'm just a little pissed off that we horrifically blew 3rd place (and the playoffs) in the Metro after having held it for most of the season. Epic...

So, in order to make the playoffs as the final wild card, we need the following to happen: Detroit to lose one of their two back to back games against Montreal in regulation (Mon and Tues night). Pittsburgh to lose one of their two remaining games against Nashville and NYI in regulation (Mon...

All I can fucking do now is watch the Pens play the Bruins and hope they get spanked. Then, watch them play Nashville on Monday night and hope for the same result. We are fans of the Bruins and Predators right now.

Where was this effort and goaltending throughout that 8 game losing streak!?! Not that we played extremely well or anything this afternoon, but we would've won at least a couple of those games within the losing streak had we played like this. Then, we'd probably still be sitting 3rd in the Metro...

We had a team meeting or regroup session or whatever after Montreal. Where the fuck was that meeting after getting spanked by the last place Hawks in Philly? Where was it after losing 5, 6 or 7 straight games and getting blown away by the last place Blue Jackets!? Wtf have we been waiting...

All I know is to expect the unexpected. For me, it's a small miracle for us to just beat the fucking Devils. If that doesn't happen, nothing else matters. That's an early 5 pm game too. With the way fucking NYI and Pitt are playing right now, even if we win both games, we'll finish 5th in the...

Yeah, we picked a terrible time to finally get a fucking win. It really is too little, too late. The Isles have about clinched and the Pens/Caps/Wings all have an extra game left to play. We're still 11th because of that fact, even after the damn win. We would need a lot of help to get in and...

They obviously need to find out exactly wtf went wrong here. By the end of this, it will be 21 losses in the last 28 games and 11 straight overall. That's more than 1/3 of the season. I think it's fair to say that this fiasco began weeks before the trade deadline too. We were 29-19-6 on February...

Again, we have absolutely no shot of winning another game this season in my opinion. Even when we were playing well, we were struggling a bit against our division rivals and the last three games are against those teams. We could definitely slip below NJ, Buff and/or Seattle here in the...

And from April 7th and on should really read 0%, because that's the reality of it. The loss to Columbus was essentially the final nail in our coffin. Just dreadful. There are probably some Ahl teams that could beat us right now. This is why I question exactly what the fuck is going on here.

I think it's fair to ask right now whether this team is tanking or if Torts has lost them completely. What the fuck else could it be!? This is no minor slump, string of bad bounces or any combination of the two. We're absolutely fucking dreadful right now!! I'm starting to worry that it's more...

It's not mathematically over, but it's over. We would have to beat four teams, all of which we've shown that we cannot beat. I don't think we can even win a single game. It is officially the worst time to have a losing streak and we go and lose 7 straight, the longest of the entire season. It's...

Honestly, the only reason we're still technically in this playoff race is because our rivals have been performing almost just as badly, plus when they aren't losing, they're playing each other (so only one is winning). I hate to say it, but if our team is THAT close and the players play for one...
