Nicomo Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Canes won, too. We just can’t make up any ground on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Check out the Top 6 teams in the Eastern Conference over their last 10 GP...no one is giving an inch: Canes: 8-1-1 Devils: 7-1-2 Rangers: 7-2-1 Bruins: 6-3-1 Lightning: 6-3-1 Maple Leafs: 6-3-1 And it's a damned good thing for the Islanders that Horvat isn't just a rental, because they could be dead and buried in 2022-23 after this brutal stretch coming up: 2/17 vs Penguins 2/18 @ Boston 2/20 @ Penguins 2/22 vs Jets 2/24 vs Kings 2/26 @ Jets Should the Isles really be expected to put up more than 6 or 7 points total in those games? And they'll have just 19 left to play after that. They do have a total of three games left each against the Pens and Caps...kinda feels like they have to win just about all of those. Glad to see the Devils in a much better position. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 And the Isles have the most games played in the league to date: 57, tied with Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're 12-15-7 since 11/29...they're 2-1-2 in the 5 games since Horvat arrived, and that's a small sample of course, but there's a good chance that 60% of the points the rest of the way won't be good enough. And who knows if they can even pull that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm a little worried this could be a sign the cap stays flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 Watching the Canucks - Rangers game and I’m reminded of how awful of a listen Rosen and Micheletti are. Two very punchable voices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Oilers blew a 4-1 lead against the Rags. All tied up probably headed for OT. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Isles now 3-2-2 since the Horvat deal. Bo with 3 G and 1 A through 7 GP in an Islander uniform. Still a small sample of course but not really all that much of a lift so far, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Rangers give up 2 goals in the first minute (8 seconds apart) and saw Halak just stop the Flames on a clean breakaway. Hopefully they lose for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Friggin’ Flames…Rangers pull to within one but could easily be up by two with the chances they’ve been getting over the last several minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 TOR won tonight and are overwhelmingly likely to beat CHI tomorrow. We could lose our hold on 3rd place and if the Rags win only be 1pt ahead of them. Let's go CGY, FFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team can beat you any time. So many games don’t go according to the script. Look at what Columbus has done in the past week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Oilers lost 6-5 last night so they’re probably working the phones hard on an EK65 deal today as if that solves the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
