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

[Krustchev]

You also know Columbus is going to be a terrible Flyers and stupid NYI team handidly

Flyers are 6-1-1 since firing Torts.

I guess what mostly pisses off the fans is the fact we won't get to rest guys longer.....but playoffs start Saturday....so guys like Matheson, Monty, and Suzuki will have Tuesday to Friday to rest........seems long enough (assuming we win Monday).

Also, it would have been great to have Demidov play his first game with no pressure to win

Too much rest isn't good. Win tomorrow and tell Nick to go for a Sunday skate on Thursday (can't end his ironman streak)

 

[Rolex]

it's Wednesday against Canes, and i doubt he sits, he probably wants to continue his ironman streak.....but yes, he can go for a sunday skate against Canes, like Caps did the past 2 games vs Columbus

As Mick famously sang, you can’t always get what you want . . . but if you try sometimes, you just might find . . . you get what you need. So it shall be for us too.

 

[Habsy]

I said we’d lose on Saturday.

That's one version of it.

 

[Krustchev]

That's one version of it.

And that we’d be shut out. And if not for Dobes, it could have been far worse - no point.

 

[legoalie]

So do the Blue Jackets have to win in regulation both games?

 

[hairnova]

Yes.

 

[CH1]

Flyers are hot. Hopefully Michkov buries the BJs tomorrow so we can rest some guys

 

[legoalie]

Yes.

Thanks, so if they win one in OT we are in?

 

[GrandWazoo]

Thanks, so if they win one in OT we are in?

Yes

I think we get in….we’ll get a point from Canes, or Columbus will end up in OT/SO.

But regardless, if this isn’t backing into the playoffs, i dunno what is….

it's all gravy considering we were eyeing a lotto draft pick 2 months ago

I have been around hockey all my life and i still don't understand this backing in, they have gotten 14 points out 18 in the last 9 games..

 

[Sal_Butera]

CBJ have 25OA road record and Phi are 6-1-1 since Torts got canned

Backing in is when you play Chicago twice in a season and get 1 out of a possible 4 points.

Yup - 6-1-2 is not backing in…
