Well the Wild blew a 7-4 lead to the Sharks and will be in the playoffs

I know I know they found the winner in OT but still

Now that we're on life support and fully relying on teams to lose, Parekh and Suniev may as well play.

It depends, Parekh could also have given up a few goals and had the goat horns. His defensive game will be rough to start

There is no puck movement on the PP. Pass, hold on to it for a sec or two and then pass. Much too easy to defend against.

Gotta score on one of those PPs. And it's really strange to see Wolf be ordinary/average out there, we've been really spoiled with him this season. Not a great time for him to play not his best, but such is life. Great learning experience for him.

Gotta win Friday to keep the improbable dream alive.

Be interesting to see what the line up is and where we are a year from now.

Kinda glad it’s over tonight.

Flames should have easily won that game. Get the 2-0 goal on one of the 6 PPs and the ducks would have folded their tent.

We have negative offensive IQ on the back end unfortunately.

14 OT/SO losses this season. Finish half of those in regulation or extra time and this team is at 95 points ahead of the Oilers, Blues, and Wild. Stupid skills competition…

The difference is that they have game breakers like Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek to bail them out when the team has a bad game, while we just have liabilities on the ice.

What really sucks is what should be the Western Conference final will be a 1st round matchup in Colorado/Dallas. Bettman though doesn't want to change the way it is because he likes it even though everybody else including the majority of owners do not.

It would be worth playing him for the powerplay alone.

He may not be ready, but this team has pretty much nothing to lose given the impact others are making, and there is a chance he has an immediate impact

Didn’t look like they had any sort of plan. Dissappointing because the PP had been half decent lately

That would be great. I will bet you anything though if Frost can't go Friday we will see Dryden Hunt instead.

Skill comp results shouldn't factor into the standings as much as it does.

Rather stupid.

[agulati]

Again. Perspective. This team was supposed to be nowhere as competitive this year.

Hanley is playing top 4 minutes for crying out loud. He was #8 and a lot of us were annoyed when he didn’t get waived and Pelletier + schwindt got waived in the beginning of the season. The team has played way beyond their level and they should be proud.

We have seen massive strides from Wolf, Coronato and Bahl. Zary has cemented himself as a good NHL forward as well. Huberdeau has bounced back a decent bit, and Weegar is showing himself to be worth every penny of the contract.

It isn’t that we went all in. We sold so many of our veterans over the last year and a bit, and despite that the team has competed till game 78.

Minny only needs 1 point in three games. We're toast. It just ain't gonna happen.


Why Huska didn't call a T/O is puzzling. Oh well, we all learn by our mistakes. Him too.

Oilers just scored. 19 seconds left

[dino7c]

Gained a point on the Blues
