Go Ducks, Kings, Panthers, Rangers, Habs and Avs!

 

[mattola]

Cobie I don't even know why you are pretending to be worried about making the playoffs, Kings are a lock, the only thing written is who is the Canadian team to drop out?

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Would love to see the Predators move back into the 2 spot, so I'm hoping for a Ducks loss and Predators win.

If I were to venture a guess, I'd say Calgary.... but who knows. Jets and Wild could still fall out.

Don't ever count out the heartbreak Canucks ... Saddest part is I believe it will be Winnipeg. And they need and deserve to be in there for their fan support alone.

I see the kings winning 7 of their last 9

As long as one of them isn't this Saturday, I'm ok with that! I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't nervous about the Wild's remaining schedule. All playoff teams, with the final 3 on the road.

Crazy that at the start of the season I thought the Flames would be in the McEichel sweepstakes and now I'd be disappointed if they missed the playoffs. Can't ask for too much more than being in the playoff chase, though.

i agree with that

I also think (but i dont believe - lol) the canucks and flames will go 500 the rest of the way

all other things being equal ... canucks get 2nd in the pacific with more ROW and kings get 3rd and after 4 playoff games "we can call the kings are daddies" again (I USED MY PEDRO MARTINEZ VOICE FOR THE BOLD!!! )

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I hope the Isles can help the Flames tonight dash, but I'm not counting on it. The offense needs to wake up.

next to the Kings, The Wild are my second most dangerous team. Granted I still am waiting for the Dubynk decline. so many games played

That 8 game winless streak where I think the Flames registered only one loser point is looming rather large right now.

Yep. Anything can happen if you make it.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Wild could've made things soooo much easier on themselves if they'd have played even .500 in December and January.

so is 1 point out of Buffalo, Arizona and New Jersey for me... even if we had 4 of 6 on those three I would be much much happier.

I agree, but then again.... not many prior to the trade, though. It's a curious situation, most definitely.

its not his skill Im doubting. its just the number of games played since coming over. has he even had a break? who is the backup there lol

He's played in 32 (or 33) straight, since the trade. Darcy Kuemper and Niklas Backstrom, depending on.

and I'm hoping the Kings can help the Pens tonight

....but truthfully, the way the Pens are playing, I don't think it'll make much difference if they get the 2 or the 3 seed (neither are catching the Rags). unless Fleury can somehow magically steal the series (did I really just type that?), Pens will be one and done.

have either of them played games in the AHL during this Dubnyk run? if not ... as i said yesterday if dubnyk goes down ... yikes!
