[Habsy]

The playoff format is dumb. If the standings hold this way one of Dallas/Minny and one of Montreal/Buffalo are going home in the first round. Bettman is a dolt.

 

[lecoqsportif]

We’d get Pittsburgh with 1-8.

 

[Habsy]

I'm not afraid of Pittsburgh, aging roster will grind down in a 7 game series. Goaltending has been just adequate, not good.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I'm not afraid of any team, but we could also get knocked out by any of them.

I see Krust has taken over your computer...

I've learned to be never over-confident or pessimistic.

Buffalo might be our toughest matchup in the conference actually, but they are not battle tested.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Down to 1 for 3rd, cannot finish below WC1

Is he (me) wrong?

Thursday’s game is huge. Must win.

Yeah, the winner will battle BUF for the division. Loser probably finishes third.

Anyway, they just played 6 shitty periods are are fortunate to have 4 pts in the last three games.

Can’t start the game like that against TBL.

Habs might not win but they'll play better vs Tampa...

Looked past Panthers tonight but when had to score and win, their skill took over.

I would hope so, Fla. is missing 10 regulars.

Like we were a couple of yrs ago

 

[Rolex]

Sabres play Chicago and Stars in their last 2 games.

They are 2 pts up on us.

Looks like we will play Tampa

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yep

 

[Habsy]

We have CBJ, NYI and Philly. They’ll play hard trying to get that 3 spot but we can still pull it off. Need to run the table though.

Perfectly fine by me.

Sens are closing in on Bruins for WC1 - I think Sens take either Canes or Buf in round 1

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Need 5 points for 2nd, 7 for 1st
