NHL Games

[Gaucho]

Somehow I still don't feel better about the last 3+ months.

[Craig]

I still expect the pens to lose out.

[meecrofilm]

Kings could use some rest anyway. That's a lot of deep, grueling runs all close together.

Does the Sens/Flyers game have any playoff implications for us?

[Craig]

Sens win and theyre in. Doesnt directly impact the pens though. Pens win and theyre in. Boston wins before shootout and pittsburgh loses in any manner they will pass the pens.

Thats my quick answer based on a quick look at the standings.

From Michael Russo (Wild beat writer, link to full article here):

The Penguins would clinch a playoff berth if they defeat the Sabres in any fashion OR if they get one point against the Sabres AND either the Senators lose to the Flyers in regulation or the Bruins fail to defeat the Lightning in regulation or overtime OR if the Bruins lose to the Lightning in any fashion.

[nocera]

Sens win and theyre in. Doesnt directly impact the pens though. Pens win and theyre in. Bostom gets one more point than pittsburgh and they will pass the pens.

Thanks. In that case, I'd like to see the Sens make it in. They deserve after the run they've been on.

[Craig]

Yes, i think they should just send pittsburgh and boston home and let LA play in the 2nd east wildcard...though they have been pretty bad too.

The Flyers will not win today.

[Orlando Penguin]

The quest to get us to play Tampa is not starting well.

Stone scores a PPG to put the Sens up 1-0.

[Orlando Penguin]

So now it looks like the best we can do is a series against the Rangers. That sounds appetizing.

[Avyran]

Sens clinched this afternoon.

Pens & Bruins will play around the same time. I'm not optimistic that either team will win.

[Faubert5]

At this point I'll take a series against anyone as long as we can dress six defensemen.

Upside to the Ottawa game: no chance for a scoring title for Voracek.

Borts with a screen of his own goal tender for a Minnesota goal. Carryover habit from his days as a Pen.

[Jofa Guy]

Borts was fun to see live, albeit was with the Blues. Guy is BIG, but cole is making me happy

[MR25]

Fun as in "You never know what he's going to do next"?

[cma3585]

Prepare you fingers, gentlemen. Part two of the hockey season is about to begin.

[cma3585]

Pierre just said: "The biggest thing the Islanders have to do is take away Nick Backstrom on the powerplay".

Pretty sure if you take away Ovy, Backstrom isn't nearly as dangerous.

[Orlando Penguin]

WOOHOO...PLAYOFF HOCKEY!!!

Nothing else on my TV at night for the next 2 months.

[shafnutz05]

Let's have some fun!!

[LITT]

FHCMT's tie is fugly

[dodint]

[cma3585]
