Too late to tank now

Yeah, once we decided to stand pat I got aboard the playoff train 100%, hoping Calgary would land between 12-15.

The exact opposite might happen, so we could wind up with roughly the same picks.

Most likely we just get two mid round firsts.

Can fuck it up like Boston did when they had 3

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

You want us to miss so shouldn't you be happy (or is the tank just a facade to try to look cool)

Math is against them both ways now. They can't win enough to get in and they can't tank hard enough to get a top 5 pick. They are stuck in the Bergevin-Timmins timeline: the dreaded "middle".

They’re a point out. Are you F’ing stupid?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Look at all the teams around them.

 

[Habsy]

He made them all night.

Monty wins that game though. Yeah I said it.

 

[Krustchev]

My question remains valid. Sorry.

If they would have gotten ONE extra point last night they'd still be in it but because they didn't, they're now done? With 17 games still to play? What?

 

[Krustchev]

Monty wins that game though. Yeah I said it.

Probably.

 

[Habsy]

WTF??

1pt out of wildcard w 17GP left. Habs also have more home games left vs Det & NYR

Det, CBJ, NYR have harder schedules, not sure what 7 dimensional math is needed to fight against

They need to win a couple of unexpected games. Like Florida. Carolina. It would wash out losing the expected wins.

 

[Habsy]

4 out of 8 points. A mediocre result that doesn't move them in the standings. It's just 4 more games burned. They're fighting against math now.

Maff

 

[Habsy]

They're one point out of a playoff spot with 17 games left (and no second line). What's the problem, exactly?

I'm going with user error

 

[Habsy]

Yup. A couple of spots in the draft now really mean nothing. Playoffs is the goal.

 

[GEEMAN]

There is good value with those picks but I see one peddled for a center

Need to find another salary dump to give us a few years at center without the stupid term of Bennett or others

Too fucken bad Cozens went to Ottawa

 

[Habsy]

You want us to miss so shouldn't you be happy (or is the tank just a facade to try to look cool)

Pathetic failure!

Exactly my point. We lost to an inferior, non playoff team in a game we needed to win.

 

[Krustchev]

We got our de facto 1OA pick last year anyway, so that's fine.

 

[Habsy]

Exactly my point. We lost to an inferior, non playoff team in a game we needed to win.

I'll wait for you to realize we win games we should have lost too. It was a back to back last game of a western trip.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Wehave still would rather miss than get in and lose

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I'll wait for you to realize win win games we should have lost too. It was a back to back last game of a western trip.

Yeah. People forget Colorado, Florida

This season is far more enjoyable
