Jets are doing a hard tank now. Looks like Chevvy has been taking lessons from the Leafs.
Maybe we'll get a high draft pick. Nothing else good happening.....

Scheifele had a great game. Nice hat rick - outplaying Suban twice:

More good news for a depressed city is a winter classic game next year vs the Oilers. In the alumni game it will be Hawerxhuck vs Gretzsky. Should be fun.

Heard about that yesterday, Neil, should be great hockey and great for the city.

Good thing I reacquired Schiefle in the fantasy league a couple weeks ago. :wo

My Wild pulled out another win. I'm not sure how they are doing it right now. They play great in the first and third periods and darn near lose every game in the second. Sumter still coughing up pucks and making lazy passes. However we got Brodin and Zucker back which should really help the team. Also the speed demon that is Eric Haula has finally found his scoring touch after two years of nothing. He has been insane the last month.

15 games left, Central division is crazy. 88 for the Hawks and Stars, 87 for the Blues, gonna be a crazy last 4 weeks. You want to win the division and get Nashville, Minnesota or Colorado, not one of the other top 2. :2

Like I said in the beginning of the year, just hoping the Flyers play some meaningful games in April. Being two points out of the WC with a game in hand, it looks like that could be the case.

It's fun rooting against the Redwings and Penguins too. :)

More points for you last night Tom - with another Wheels assisted Scheifele goal.
Marko Dano got a pair - welcome back to the NHL kid!

I can! :D

Tough spot for the Flyers tonight. Traveling for a back to back, against a very good team with a day of rest who's coming off a disappointing shutout loss. :gary

This is the first time this year I can think of where the Flyers playing a back to back against a team that didn't also play the night before. Probably happened, but it seems the schedule makers usually try to avoid it.

Hawks are on the same slide they had in March of 2010, 2013 and 2015. Maybe it's a sign. :D

Trying some reverse Voodoo Karma today. Wearing Hawks gear has not worked the last week+. Changed it up for the ride into work, kudos to Neil for the opportunity to do the reverse voodoo that you do.

You were right Tom. Darling is having a huge game! My team is playing hard though. Been rough lately.

Minny in the shootout. Hope the Avs can hold on in Edmonton.

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 
Very surprised that we pulled it out in the shootout. Coyle has been added in the last two and has made it look easy and two shootout wins for dubnyk will hopefully get him his confidence back. Great to see Kane get crushed (looked bad but was a clean hit) but I'm glad both players were ok. Both were in precarious positions. Great game and I hope the Wild can keep this going.

icehog3 03-21-2016 12:06 AM

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 
Great game despite the outcome. :r

Dave (DavenportWSQ here) got us in a Club Level suite that he got from a client. Besides the free tickets, our host sprung for a fajita bar (I had 5 steak faijtas), chicken and steak wraps (yes, I did), bar ( lots of Goose Island beers and Grey Goose vodka), a cappucino bar (can you say Bailey's and coffee to "sober up"?) a dessert bar ( choclate chunk cookie and and a chocolate/pretzel/caramel bar). Oh, yeah, and the game. :D I'm still smiling despite only taking 1 point.

Only two disappointments....Those were the first shootout goals Darling has allowed in his career, and 2 goals from Hossa and we would have been there for his 500th. Haven't seen a 500th goal live since I saw Michel Goulet do it 25 years ago.

The Wild knock off Carolina, Chicago, and LA the last three games. Carolina and Chicago in the SO. Dubnyk has been on fire lately and I think the two shootout wins finally got him his confidence back. We may still be in this thing.

Very tough loss for the Flyers last night. To lead by 2 through roughly 59 minutes and lose... ugh. I really thought Jenner's goal with about a minute left was deflected with a high stick, but the refs thought otherwise.

At least they got one point.

I know, they're killing me. I was thinking 1-2 in that three.... Now the Avs need to come up big tonight against Philly. Points are precious.

That's it, Avs are done. No playoffs this year. With the loss tonight and the remaining schedule, even with a win Saturday, it's not happening. Frustrated right now.

icehog3 03-24-2016 11:11 PM

Re: NHL '15 - '16 Season Thread
 
They definitely have a tough finish, but no need to throw in the towel yet. Leafs beat the Ducks, Oilers beat the Sharks, Jets beat the Kings....stranger things can happen. Their game Saturday is HUGE.

On a similar note, the Hawks' floundering the last 2 weeks has the Preds just two points between them. 4th place in the Central means a first round matchup with the Kings...definitely not where the Hawks want to start the playoffs. :2

mahtofire14 03-25-2016 01:31 AM

Not to mention that the Wild have an incredible knack for not showing up for games when they need to. It's not over yet.

Not what EJ wants to hear, but a huge win for the Flyers last night. Still have several games left against teams around them in the standings. Been an exciting late season surge!

He's a madman, genius, but a madman. I didn't see when he pulled Varley, turned it off at 3-0. Switched over to college hockey. The road to the Frozen Four has been FAR MORE ENJOYABLE for me, than watching the Avs. Now hopefully the DU Pioneers can take care of business vs Ferris today!

Yeah good luck. Our MN teams didn't produce this year. Gophers just can't keep anybody from going pro anymore. Their teams always seem to be freshman and sophomores.
