beerme1 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Van clinched with Oil's win. Hopefully rest up against AZ on Thursday. Guess that's wrong. Van will be trying for home ice I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Amerk Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not sure he's an idiot. He used the NHL's poor officiating to his team's advantage. He negated a power play for the Flyers and got Voracek to sit for ten minutes. Nah. Still an idiot for pulling that ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Doug MacLean is on 590 right now floating the idea that, if Pittsburgh misses the playoffs, a Malkin for Kessel+ deal is a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Doug MacLean is on 590 right now floating the idea that, if Pittsburgh misses the playoffs, a Malkin for Kessel+ deal is a possibility. Unless the Pens are getting significantly more back, they get a lot worse instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't want the Pens to miss because I don't want Edmonton having another shot at #1. I want the Pens to make it and the Isles to miss.. because that means the Sabres have an extra shot at #1. While I dislike the Penguins immensely.. I have to root for them because it's better for the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 As fun as it would be to knock the Pens out, I would would be more amused to see the Bruins miss out on the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The Canucks clinched a spot last night and Ryan Miller is ready to return. They haven't secured home ice yet, so Miller may not get to play until the final game of the season. I'm hoping he plays against Arizona. A rusty Miller may just be the final push we need! As for some theories above. The West is still the better side. But I noticed no mention of the Canucks. The Canucks are a team that could slide through nicely. They have beaten St Louis over and over again. They played well against both LA and Anaheim and the other night were right there matching the Kings' physical effort. Playoffs can be a matchup game for sure, but we know really good teams get knocked out early and if you can survive round 1, it's anybody's tournament from there on out. I noticed the Isles' plight and had no idea they "could" miss the dance, but I doubt they will. If the Pens' game against us matters for Pitt and we haven't locked down #30, then I'm happy to see the Pens bring their best to get in. But if not, how sweet it would be to ask Ehrhoff if he wants to join the boys for some early Spring golfing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the balls pop out the right way and that 1% (or is it 0.5%?) chance wins. I'd take that slim possibility over seeing some team I dislike miss the playoffs.

You're talking about a 1 in 100 chance of getting all of McEichel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) You're talking about a 1 in 100 chance of getting all of McEichel. No, it's a 1% chance of drafting McDavid *and* using our pick to get Eichel or Strome/Marner/Hanifin -- basically the single greatest draft haul in NHL history. Also something that could only happen in an alternate universe where wonderful things magically happen for Buffalo. EDIT: For some reason I thought we were talking about the Sabres picking up a lottery ball if the Islanders collapse, not Pittsburg collapsing to help Edmonton. I denounce myself.

Trettioåtta Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 You're talking about a 1 in 100 chance of getting all of McEichel. Edmonton is drafting 3rd/4th. They either end up with 1 and 14, or 1 and 4. The chance of 1 and 4 is 1%. Plus this is Edmonton. They could draft 1 and 2 and still be in line to get Austin Mathews next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could draft 1 and 2 and still be in line to get Austin Mathews next year I assume you mean 4 and 14. As I said, I'll take a 1 in 100 shot at BOTH McDavid and Eichel over the schadenfreude of Pittsburgh missing the playoffs. At this point, I don't think there are any hockey outcomes that I'd prefer over that 1 in 100 chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
