I want to see Edmonton and Montreal out as early as possible. After that, I don't care.

I’m ok with Montreal (and Ottawa)…..

Agreed on Edmonton. I want them to shit the bed again, and next year too…..then a river of tears as McDavid leaves town.

The lack of posters wanting to see the Wild fail is concerning me.

I hope the Wild do well.

Another well managed team.

Wake the fuck up AIG.

To help our draft pick alone, is reason enough.

Exactly. It is only about maximizing our draft position. I would like Dalls to do well just to piss the Aqua Bros off

Somehow if everything fell in place (very unlikely), our pick could be as high as #19

It ain't hate, it's business :wink:

Tocchy update....

The Flyers need at least two points combined in their final two games to clinch a playoff spot.

If the Capitals beat the Blue Jackets in reg or ot on Tuesday and the Flyers manage just one point in their final two games, the Capitals make the playoffs due to regulation wins tiebreaker.

If Philadelphia loses both games in regulation and the Blue Jackets beat the Capitals in regulation, Columbus would make the playoffs because they hold the regulation wins tiebreaker over Philly.

If Philadelphia loses both games in regulation and the Blue Jackets beat the Capitals in overtime or the shootout, the Capitals would make the playoffs because they hold the regulation wins tiebreaker over Philly and Columbus.

I'd like to see Philly out although if they qualify a Pens Flyers first round series could be on tap which is always fun.

Ovie one last playoffs would be fine but Columbus has had a great run under Bowness and could he a post season handful for someone as well.

Canes have nothing to play for while the Habs could still win the Atlantic if the Sabres lose their last 2 the first versus Chicago Monday.

I imagine we see Ricky in the playoffs when it all sorts itself out ...

Canucks just won the last 2 games. 14 more for the cup. Right? Are mail order mushrooms safe?

Can those wins be in consecutive playoffs?

Mixed messaging. I think some of us would like to see Quinn do well but recognize that draft position is more important and the Wild bouncing out first is the best thing for us in June.

Others think that failing to hate on the Wild and hate on Quin means that we are cheering for them.

Also, as Donny says, a well run team going places is egg on TFG's faces.

Yeah, the Wild can bow out in the 1st round. Hope they get run through in 4.

Colorado looks like the team to beat.

Ottawa and Montreal won’t go too far, but they’ll be entertaining to watch.
