Strong agree. Also the Bruins and BlueJackets. And Red Wings, Flyers, and Rangers.

Ok, just for you: I hope the two wildcard slots are SNES and Wings. So I guess they can win too.

It's nuts how many teams are in on it. Still hard to process the Wings are ahead of the Rangers.

It would rule if the Broons miss the playoffs. They have absolute fuck-all prospect / picks wise.

Did not expect to see beenpod on here and making a case for JK!

My god the Sabres are pathetic. How does Adams still have a job?

worst case scenario he's dogshit and nothing comes of it, best case scenario he slots in with Nurse on the 2nd pair

likely scenario he's "meh" and just bumps a couple guys down the pecking order and is the 6/7 guy going into the playoffs

Ok, I guess I get it now! Makes sense - low risk but high reward.

Haha. I checked and the all-time record for goalie points in a game was Jeff Reese with 3 assists.

Ottawa can pass the Bruins with a win of any kind this afternoon.

This game is out of control

Well not anymore


I was so hoping for 4 teams tied at 50 points

Money puck, my new favourite hockey nerd resource, has the SNES with a higher chance of winning the cup (3.9%) than the Leafs (2.5%)

Which seems blatantly incorrect but hey, they did have a friggin great weekend.

Still feels like they need more scoring. I know they'll theoretically get Perron back at some point but I'm not convinced that moves any needle. Though maybe he finally finds his stride after an understandably horrendous start?

Would Perron be in their top six?

At this rate I think they should make an add. Might be tricky because 1. So few teams are out of the mix 2. Their prospect pool isn’t deep

Yeah prospect pool is pretttttty tapped.

Perron would be bottom 6 + PP ideally, though Green switches up line combos a lot and I could see him dipping into the top 6 with the current roster. I think they really need a pure goal scorer - Josh Norris is the closest thing they have?

But, yeah, limited market? I dunno who's even available that I would target. Kyprios' "Trade Board 2.0" is literally insane. Half of it is guys who are super unlikely to be traded and the other half is garbage. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/re ... ting-ufas/

I will continue to remain annoyed that the Habs were able to trade for Laine at pennies on the dollar.

McThug and that other guy 3 games
