I just took a moment to myself walked outside to watch the setting California sun and contemplated how the next 3:46 will determine the next 15 years of my life.

Worst season ever

How the is that charging?!

Jackets need to convert their chances holy cow they're getting a ton...

PP for the Jackets, yes

Noice

Just one game, not even two. The perfect script would be they lay down tonight and then crush the Penguins at home tomorrow on fan appreciation day... I guarantee the arena will be rocking if they go in with 30th locked up. That said, if they win tonight, tomorrow will be ugly. Winning tonight does several orders of magnitude more harm than good.

Sabres should trade both their firsts this season for the rights to Illya Kovalchuk.

7 more hours and this whole thing could be over. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT HIS HOLY, HOCKEY GODS, PLEASE END THE SUFFERING! I'm gonna make a sacrifice to the hockey gods before the game, perhaps burn a puck or pour some beer over a bucket of pucks or something.... burn an old wooden stick maybe. Everybody needs to do their part to appease the gods.

this thread...

No doubt Bettman has sent memo's to both the Sabres and Coyotes letting them know that he's watching them closely. Any sign of foul play, etc... and they risk losing their pick. Trading away pending UFA's is OK, but sitting somebody just because they're a good player will not be tolerated.

20 minutes to go 1-1? I'll take it.

So does Reinhart go to BUF for the final 2 games? or Roch?

Going into Monday's game against CAR there were 6 chances to lock up 30th. There are now 5 remaining (3 ARI games, 2 BUF games). Their odds of finishing 30th only dropped 2% after the win against CAR, down from 98 to 96%: http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHLlottery.html

The Coyotes are 0-4 vs CGY this season losing by an average score of 4.25 to 1.5. Flames need a win to maintain a playoff spot. CGY has the 3rd worse Corsi for % in the entire league, while ARI ranks 22nd. So I expect shots to be fairly even, hopefully MIke Smith continues his stellar play of late and Hiller has one his classic swiss cheese games where he can't stop a beach ball. Looking ahead ARI plays VAN on Thursday. They're 2-2 vs VAN this season, one of their wins coming in a 5-0 shutout at VAN back in Nov. They just about have 2nd place in the Pacific locked up but have lost 2 of their last 3, their win coming in a shootout over LA 2-1. That said, I don't expect ARI to pickup any points in either game.

...minus the speed and hands. He has a very good hockey IQ for a kid his age, but he's slow and weak. He could use a season or two in Rochester to acclimate to the pro game... slow cook him like the Red Wings with all their prospects, especially if Babcock is in the mix..
