Oshie so close to a hat trick late in that game, Ovie racks up 50 & 51 and now we'll get the rabid fans "Let's go for 55 now!"

You forgot Tom Wilson locking up real estate in yet another team and fan base's head. "He won't fight real guys". Hilarious. The funny part is I still don't want him fighting b/c he's become too valuable out there to lose for 5 min in the box.

Wilson had some good comments towards him after the game I read, said he stood up well for himself.

Carolina plays NJ and Philadelphia
Columbus plays NYR and Ottawa
Montreal plays Washington and Toronto

I don't think the Habs are going to pull off a miracle.

Despite tanking being good for the team long term, It's fun to have a glimpse of what the wings could be in another year or two. The Larkin-Mantha-Bertuzzi line is fun as hell to watch.

Hopefully this is the bottom of this rebuild and we are on the way back to contending again.

There is still a crazy scenario where if Pittsburgh loses out, they could miss the playoffs entirely. But it's basically the miracle scenario where everyone else wins out too almost.

I'm pulling so hard for Montreal. I generally cheer for Toronto, but they are going to be nothing but disappointment in the playoffs. I just have this feeling. I'd love to be wrong. But man are they good at disappointing.

But come on, Montreal. They always go gangbusters in playoffs.

can't see any teams making it to the ECF besides the Lightning/Bruins and Caps so I don't think it'll matter anyway

I predict at least 3 more years of top 10 draft picks.

The Blues push the second half of the season has been absolutely insane, would not want to face them if I was a team in the west right now.

15-18-4 coming in to the new year and now 43-28-9.... 28-10-5 over that stretch. Lightning were better (30-9-2) but not by much.

Sorry Habs. Basically carbon copy of last year for us, hope it has the same ending...long way to to before we get there, though.

I guess we're down to potential opponents of Pittsburgh, Carolina, or Columbus with Carolina being the most likely for Round 1. They're probably who I'd prefer, too. Let Tampa deal with a hot Columbus, and Caps/Pens is a 2nd round thing, everyone knows that.

Great regular season for Jets, hope they can hold together and give me a half decent playoff run.

Holy fuck are Oilers fans salty right now, none seem happy when I remind them they beat Toronto to playing golf at least.

Pay somebody the price of 3 star players. What could go wrong?

Curious to see if Draisaitl gets to 50 goals. No one other than Ovechkin has done it since '12, and multiple guys have it done it since then, either.

Just wanted to add, Lazyman has completely changed how I watch hockey. Was always near impossible to get Jets games on TV here without paying for some Jets package. Zero issues with it so far.

Not into MLB, but they got those streams on it as well.
