2024-2025 NHL season

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Yet they are still 6 points behind Vegas in the Pacific Conference and have 2 other teams ahead of them in the Western Conference standings, making them basically a 4 seed at this point.

But they are not to be taken lightly, after all, they made it to the final last year. I think the Oilers are the kind of team that doesnt push too much for the President trophy, they save their energy and try to plan so they peak when the "real" season starts.

I don't think they are to be taken lightly but I am not sold on their defense being good enough to get them to the finals again.

5-0 Senators after 2 periods!
34 minutes penalty, looks like a rough game. Unfortunately I have no time to watch it.

Rangers 4-1-1 in last 6 after winning in Vegas last night on the young Adam Edstrom's goal and 29 big saves by Igor (.967). With 42 points, they are just 4 points away from boomeranging past Montreal for that last wild card spot in the playoffs. Long way to go.

Fan Revolt in Buffalo; GM Adams On Hot Seat

Kevyn Adams isn’t going anywhere. Neither is coach Lindy Ruff. There are good players on this team. It seems like it’s more a chemistry issue than anything else. There is a chance that a new GM may be brought over after this season however if it happens Kevyn Adams will likely be retained & more than likely will be promoted to a higher-paying executive position with the team. Why? Because he’s one of the biggest ass-kissers in the history of hockey & has the owner in his pocket! As for Lindy Ruff he was just handed a big multi year contract prior to this season & i doubt ownership will want to pay another coach tip money for several years to stay home!

This is what happens when you start to suck moose balls. .886 save % is not what the Penguins want......

 

[Doc Holliday]

Kyle Dubas has been a huge failure running that team. I realize that Brendan Shanahan probably made the right decision to get rid of him in Toronto, something that had upset me greatly at the time. Dubas’ first mistake was letting Sidney Crosby make the personnel decisions for him such as keeping coach Mike Sullivan & not getting rid of the likes of Evgeny Malkin, Kris Letang & acquiring overpriced aging defenceman Erik Karlsson. He should have stood up to Crosby & offer to trade him if he objected.

I would not b surprise if McDAVID is suspended for his elbow hit in the face/JOHANSSON....he left the game and did not return....no penalty on the ice....BUT quite sure it will b reviewed.....anyway 2g1ass in a big 5-3 win vs MINN.

 

[gaby]

Big night.....DEVILS---LEAFS......SENS---CAPS.......and wow AVS--OILERS......HABS---STARS.....what a night!!.....enjoy.

 

[gaby]

Yep....true....when you are the greatest....you're in a different world....lolll....BUT i really really believe he should have.....

The Eastern Conference Competition for the 2 wild cards is ROBUST. You have 8 teams within 6 points of the 1st wild card, including Montreal, which is just 1 point behind the Bruins for that coveted final WC:
