It's been a long four years, the return of the magic number thread

[GrandWazoo]

It was more a jab @ NYR.

Anyway, DET looked cooked two weeks ago, so full credit to them for vaulting themselves to 9th place.

Oh yeah I've been enjoying NYR self-destruction this year. And Boston.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Yep. Way to fuck up the rebuild. Go for a playoff spot, fail, and get a shit draft pick.

They haven't made the post season in 9 yrs, rebuild wasn't going well in the first place

 

[Habsy]

You do realize we’ve been WC-2 since three weeks ago tonight? Nothing in that regard has changed since then except that our lead has grown.

Minus 2 days. That did happen.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

That's what happens when you take Filip Zadina at 6th overall when Quinn Hughes is still on the board.

 

[Habsy]

Kotkaniemi at 3 says hi, so does his mole.

 

[Krustchev]

Minus 2 days. That did happen.

I think you understood my point.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Kotkaniemi at 3 says hi, so does his mole.

Actually, there were pundits who thought that the Habs would take Zadina at 3, if I recall.

 

[Habsy]

Zadina is the pick that made KK look better.

 

[Habsy]

I think you understood my point.

That its possible to slip? Yes.

 

[Krustchev]

That its possible to slip? Yes.

That they’re highly likely (85% as of now) to stay in WC-2.

 

[Sal_Butera]

A win tonight and you can pretty much stick a fork in them too

Yup - Fla is sitting Sam Bennett for rest of the regular season, other playoff bound teams will do the same.

Habs have to get 2pts in regulation tonight to end the mirage of hope for Dead Things

We took Mole so we really can't laugh

 

[Habsy]

89% actually

 

[Krustchev]

89% actually

And like 80% even if the lose tonight in regulation?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

And like 80% even if the lose tonight in regulation?

Pretty much because all teams are running out of games.

 

[Habsy]

And like 80% even if the lose tonight in regulation?

Or 94 should they win. 94 >

 

[GrandWazoo]

Or 94 should they win. 94 >

93. Just because.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

93. Just because.

I see what you did there
