Columbus currently in WC2, on pace for 86 points. 

A 3-4 point improvement on last year’s 84 point season, might have put us in the playoffs. $6-7 million in unused cap. 10 picks in the coming draft. One of the deeper prospect pools in hockey. Adams makes not one move from the start of the season, with the intent of improving the team now. And all signs are he will get another shot at it.

In news around the Eastern Conference, the Sabres just passed the Bruins in the standings.  Please dot “the Sabres will have a better record than the Bruins” on your bingo card.

4-4 record from Habs here on in would prevent a 10 game winning streak to wrap up getting us into the playoffs

Wings lose in OT to the Blues. Sad they got a point, but ay least they didn't get two.

A decade after some here started calling the Bruins a lesser organization we are finally going to pass them in the bottom half of the standings?

In my best KA voice:

We’re ahead of Boston? Really?

Buffalo Sabres 2025-2026: "We suck less than the Bruins do!"

The Bruins are doing a proper end-of-season tank. They’ll get a top pick, maybe get Marchand back, re-add their top d-pair and still have $25M+ to reshape their roster next season. But! That roster needs a ton of re-shaping and I think they may also opt next season to see how close they are to McKenna-world.

Palm trees gets the flowers but real die hards know “we got him? we got Matt Irwin?” is the real lore

Their GM stuck out his nuts big time with the offer sheets and it has worked out handsomely for them. I expect this will open the flood gates of OSs.

Also with being willing to fire his recently hired coach because a better one was available. Montgomery is an upper tier coach.
