[OOT] April 4 with a dozen games!

[Red]

The Blues are at home vs Vancouver. Should be easy 2 points.
Winnipeg is in Arizona. Could go either way, but hope for Ari giving the fans a nice farewell. They came close.
Nashville at home vs Chicago. Again, should be 2 points.

Winnipeg is in trouble. All things considered they have the toughest task. Arizona has been pretty good lately.

[habernac]

Brian Elliott, remember him? 1 whole save in 5 shots tonight. Ugh.

Habs have been terrific. Price is himself again. Gallagher playing like he’s 6’2”. Weber is obviously hurt but gutting it out. They’ve left it all on the ice. They were supposed to finish last. And they still have a slim chance. Chapeau.

The way Grubauer has been playing lately it hardly matters. 948 sv% since the all star break. Can't look past Colorado at all.

I was referring to them eliminating Arizona I wanted them to get in.

Ugh, hopefully that doesn't happen. That team owns the Flames. As good as we've been this year, I could easily see us getting bounced by those guys, possibly in 6 games or less. The Flames just don't have an answer for Benn and Seguin.

We need to pray to the hockey gods that we get Colorado.

Fair enough. But the point still stands. They are useless, and they have choked down the stretch.

[Yoho]

I can see Dallas wanting to take their chances with Nashville or Winnipeg over Calgary.

[Sainters7]

Of course Winnipeg choked that up, ugh..at least I guess that gives me another day or two of being able to wear my Nordiques gym hat before I (probably) have to chuck that crap to the side for a couple weeks.

Of all the people, it was Phil that scored to win the fans some Big Macs lolol

Stay positive.

Meh. Colorado/Grubauer have been impressive for the last two weeks and that’s it.

The all star break is irrelevant and a terrible time period to judge. Grubauer played all of 2 games in February and got lit up in one of them. He was awful in January too.

He’s given no indication he can keep up this pace, which started around St Paddy’s day.

[kukkudo]

Lol all Canadian teams have the potential of being bounced out in the first round.

Every team in the playoffs has the potential of being bounced in the first round.

[heep223]

Neither of those two teams worry me in the slightest.

[dying4acup]

Fleury hasn’t looked so good for Vegas in his return. Yotes Lear 4-1

Calgary will be the favorite...the other two can pound sand for all I care

Wow, that is an unreal stat and definitely something to consider. I still would rather meet them in the first round then Dallas. I don't know what it is about Dallas but we seem to struggle against them.

If we can just bring our A game, we can beat any team in the west in a 7 game series including the Avs who we are 17 points up on the season.

Bring it on!

That is so great, after listening to spittin chiclets, it sounds like he is a blast and would be fantastic as a teammate. He and his teammates probably eat this stuff up and think it is hilarious, I know I would.

I think the Dallas thing is overblown...they won a 3 on 3 game on a goal that shouldn't have counted and the other two the Flames were not at their best.

I mean the Flames lost to LA a couple weeks back but I wouldn't worry about them in the playoffs with all things being equal (rest, motivation, ect.)

Yeah I know they have lost a bunch in a row but I don't even consider past seasons records its a different team. I would still prefer the Avs but really, if the Flames can't beat Dallas they aren't winning the cup.

[btimbit]

Grubuaer went on a similar run this time last year, then lasted 2.5 games in the playoffs before getting yanked
