re: Fresh Ice! NHL Season-Long Thread, Part 2

LA is back in the playoffs after last nights massacre. 5 games left, we own the tie breaker over winnipeg and we are just one point behind calgary with a game in hand. shite is going to come down to the wire

I only got to watch the first two periods of the Columbus-Pens game...but the way Columbus turned on in the last 5 minutes of the 2nd period was scary.

Foligno is getting scary good.

It's not a coincidence the Jackets have played really good hockey in their 2 healthiest stretches of the season. They went 10-1 in December when the injuries slowed down a bit.

They need to address their blue line in the offseason. It's absolute bullshite Mike Reilly is going to spurn them and sign with someone else coming out of Minnesota. Totally negates the purpose of having a draft.

.....aaaaaaaaaaand LA is out again but with 1 game at hand who gives a shite

Pens are done, Sens should take their spot in the postseason, at least they have a chance with how they're playing.

There is nothing the Pens can do without Letang at this stage of the season, they could not lose him and they did. Between Letang, Ehrhoff, and Maatta 3 of the Pens top 4 Dmen at the start of the season are gone. How did they manage to be a Top 5 defensive team this season? Letang.

Ehrhoff was the signing of the offseason, a steal, and he has been injured half the year and poor overall. Was very bad the first few months in new system then started to play really well, concussion, been out 2 months now who knows when he'll return if he does. He's been day to day for 2 weeks now, if he returns he can at least help replace Letang some.

It's whatever though. Worst part of it is how incredible Sidney Crosby is playing right now, and it will be wasted. Same goes for Fleury's best season of his career.

Hot wings up 2-1 over minny.

Senaturds up 3-1 over craps.

Leafs and goons tied at 1

Tampa up 2-0 over panthers?

Isles up 2-0 over Sabres.

Senaturds score the winner on a breakaway by turris and beat the craps.

Sens and Pens both have a game in hand over the Caps too.



Red Wings just 1 point ahead of the Sens now for that 8th spot.

Happy to get a point. Caps took the gas pipe in the 1st period and fell down 3-0. Just forcing OT was a win. Now, even if the Caps lose their final three in regulation, Sens have to earn 6 points in 4 games to catch them.

Tomorrow will tell the tale. Play the Wings, and the winner is virtually in. The loser starts to get nervous, and starts praying that the Pens and Sens don't play a 3-point game on Tuesday. It would be nice if either the Pens or the Sens lost on Sunday as well. Then we'll know who to root for.

Penguins lack of depth kills them again. It's just not a well-constructed roster. Not being able to call up a guy due to being at the cap is just negligent mismanagement of the cap. Rookie GM mistake.
