Don't get greedy. I want St. Louis' 1st pick this draft, so will be cheering for them to get points until their spot in the playoffs is secured.

Well, this night settles it.

Babchuk needs to return to the lineup tomorrow.

I hear you.

But StL is in 6th, hey are 8 games over, and 5 of their 6 remaining games are at home

6) Stl +8
7) Min +7 (soon to be +8 though)
8) Det +5
9) Col +4

I think they are pretty safe

Irving needs to be called up as well and given the start. Let's hope that big deal gives Howard a lot of confidence.

Can't see the Flames finishing behind any of these D-bag teams - Colorado, Carolina, Florida

Not to mention the next tier of crappy D-bag teams - Tampa bay, Nashville, Edmonton, New Jersey

I'd have to throw Nashville into that 1st tier of D-bag teams. I'll be on the floor shocked if they win another game this season.

All the other teams mentioned I can see winning at least one (though I won't be shocked if they don't). Nashville to me is the absolute worst right now of all the teams mentioned.

The teams that sold at the deadline (Calgary, Buffalo) are doing much better in the standings than the teams that didn't .

Indeed. Put him in net.

[Enoch Root]

the Oilers don't even look like they are trying. Or care

Not that surprising. Typically after teams sell the remaining players and call-ups find another gear to prove their worth.

[Enoch Root]

Babchuk and Irving. Stat.

and Dallas

[puckluck2]

Edmonton might just finish behind us. Terrible team.

[Hockey_Ninja]

I hope Feaster realizes the standings and sends a memo to Hartley....

[Jbo]

Wow Edmonton you are a fail franchise.

Thought they might come out with something after the GM was fired.

A true "loser" mentality ladies and gents.

[Enoch Root]

this game screams "pick me, Craig!" (for a trade out of town)

The young guys have nothing to fear. They know they will not be traded, sent down or benched. You can see the difference in Calgary, where guys are payi g for jobs..they may be losing but the effort is there.

[puckluck2]

5-1 Wild.

No points for Hall, Eberle, Hopkins once again. Almost 6 games now.

[Roof-Daddy]

Oil have 14 shots.

That's one special team alright.
