Really makes you realize just how little Lindy had to do with last season.

The Capitals have defeated the Hurricanes 7-6 following a shootout in which Dylan Strome scored the only goal.  The victory puts them five points ahead of the Devils.

As if Carolina couldn't eat a big enough bag of Dicks already. fvck them.

If they tie or lose their game in hand, we'll still be no worse than 6 points out of the wildcard spot.  The good news is most of the teams in front of us have a tough schedule. Tomorrow Flyers play the B's and Isles play the Jets, and Wings play the red hot Preds.  Very realistic that those three teams lose and we could pick up 2 huge points if we win against Ottawa like we're "supposed" to. 

Sunday the Caps play the Jets and Flyers play the Panthers.  With any luck we could have both of them lose. 

Safe to say that this weekend likely defines the rest of the season and whether or not we'll have a chance to squeak in. It all starts with taking care of business and doing what we have to. The rest will fall as it does.

And somehow the Flyers beat the Bruins.  Our luck is unreal.  

The Devils have only themselves to blame for any bad luck.  Had they played better to this point, they wouldn’t need other teams’ help.

If the Devils get hot and don’t make it….

this all falls on Fitz for sitting on his hands until it was TOO LATE.

Fitz needs to learn from this and understand that he can’t make decisions based on personal feelings or misplaced loyalty.  I wish Novo would ask him if he’d have waited until March to fire Lindy had the two men not been friends.

Not that it will make any difference for the Devils on Tuesday, but Ilya Samsonov appears to have injured his groin.

Didn’t he go down earlier in the week during practice too where they were really concerned?

 

out west Adin Hill left during the third period of the Vegas game and did not return. He had been slipping anyway, as Thompson has caught fire a bit

I know he plays with McDavid, but how the hell is Zach Hyman a 50 goal scorer? Crazy. 

It is crazy. Between Hyman and Sam Reinhart, a couple old heads are having career years.

Makes you wonder what kind of numbers Timo could put up playing alongside Nico (and Jack on PPs) for a full season.  fvcking Lindy…

Yeah, at least Reinhart was a former #2OA pick. So the pedigree was always there. He was just stuck on some terrible Buffalo teams. 

Hyman was a 5th round pick though.
