2ELIAS6 258 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 That was big for us! Hopefully we can take the pens out again tomorrow night. Would be comforting to have a 5pt cushion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MB3 5,286 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ok, time to switch to the Phailures game. Turned it on just in time to see the Avs rip one off the post. Let’s goooooo now Colorado Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MB3 5,286 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 fvck, flyers strike first. Ghost with an unreal move/pass and Giroux with an absolute laserbeam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicomo 5,930 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 fvcking Giroux... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Brown 186 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The Devils now truly control their own destiny at least when concerning the Panthers. If COL wins tonight, we control our destiny against Philly as well. The Panthers also have a tough schedule down the stretch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomsRiverDevil 16 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Is there a site that calculates our percentage to make the playoffs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers have 3 against the Bruins, 1 against Nashville... but then they also have 3 total gimmies (OTT, MTL, and Buffalo). I like our schedule better, obviously. 1 minute ago, TomsRiverDevil said: Is there a site that calculates our percentage to make the playoffs? There are plenty, but they won’t be updated until tomorrow morning. Devils will probably be right around 70% tomorrow morning if the Flyers win tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MB3 5,286 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Colorado is outplaying Philly. 1-0 deficit but I feel pretty ok about this game. Philly will have some heavy legs in the 2nd/3rd Just now, Devil Dan 56 said: That Florida game in hand now means nothing if we can keep pace Exactly. Finish the season with the same record as Florida (who has a more difficult schedule) and we’ll get in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It really is amazing but other than 2013-14 (sort of) we haven't had a lot of down to the wire playoff races since freaking 1995-1996...and neither one of them turned out well But generally either we've been in by February or done by early March.

MB3 5,286 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Well the Flyers are rolling tonight. Up 2-0 early. Looks like they’ll get at least another point and likely two tonight. Guess we can’t catch lightning in a bottle twice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neb00rs 2,944 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hey, if Philly does win the [small] bright side is that if Colorado misses the playoffs, Hall4Hart becomes about 50% more likely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They definitely did. And those teams were adored by the Toronto media (and always horribly overrated by them too) They were looked upon as some sort of saviors of hockey because of how wide open they insisted on playing. And they were fun to watch (and could goon it up with the best of 'em) but Cujo could never be trusted in a big spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He really deserves serious consideration. When you look at guys on good teams with higher point totals, all of them have a stronger support system. Kucherov, Malkin etc To take nothing away from Hischier, he's just turned 19 and has a very impressive 49 points. But that's a fat 36 points behind Hall while playing 5 more games than Hall. We just don't have elite secondary scoring, we have not gotten good goaltending. Hall has carried us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Colorado misses the playoffs and he passes Kopitar in points and is within 5-7 points of the other finalists, he'll probably win it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In many years the Hart winner pretty legitimately has the most points in the league and is the most valuable player. Like McDavid last year and Kane the year before that. When Jamie Benn led the league the year before that but imo was not quite deserving of the Hart, Carey Price won it. The year before that Crosby led the league in points and won the Hart trophy and I don't think anyone would argue there either. And many of these writers I've been reading seem to think it's between two guys, Hall and MacKinnon, with Kopitar right there too. Many do mention Malkin, Wheeler, and Kucherov too, don't get me wrong but Hall and MacKinnon seem to stand out. Edited March 29, 2018 by Neb00rs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
