2023-24 NHL Season Thread.

Datsyuk is good.

[Rennadrel]

Florida is averaging a league worst 2.3 goals against per game. Just goes to show you that having crappy goaltending and no defensive system will cause you to lose lots of games. Looks like the Leafs D will be double shifting since Fraser got ejected from the game.

[Elgefar]

Congrats to the NY Rangers and the Ottawa Senators for clinching a playoff berth.

[Rennadrel]

I want to see the Jets win, because that way we can tie Montreal and gain home ice advantage since the Leafs currently own the ROW in the event of a tie, Montreal has 24, Toronto has 25 at the moment.

[AceofHarts]

Man the Leafs do not fuck around on ticket prices for the playoffs. I realize its been like 20 years since they played in the playoffs, but come on. How can any regular Leafs fan afford those prices.

Oh wait, the ACC is a business meeting location, not an arena for fans to attend games anywhere but the upper rows.

DUDE WHERE THE HELL hAVE YOU BEEN?

rofl, if you disagree with the refs being full of shit, Phaneuf getting ejected for being rough with a guy who was trying to get chirpy with him, then there is something wrong with you. 6:14 left in the game and he got thrown out plus the Leafs were dealt a penalty. Fraser was already ejected in the second period for being the 3rd man when he stood up for Kadri.

Buying Leafs playoff tickets from a scalper is always going to cost you at least 500 a ticket. Just how it is here. Would much rather go see 30 Jays games for that price and just watch the Leafs game at a bar or at home.

[draynay]

things get more expensive the rarer they are

[Rennadrel]

So the Jets find out they are eliminated from playoff contention, proceed to lay down and die.

Yup, allowed 2 goals in less then 5 minutes. So much for home ice advantage for the Leafs.

Gratz Red Wings on clinching tonight too, 54 points was enough to get in.

[Zoma]

For the second year in a row, Vancouver's opponent will be the loser of SJS/LAK final game.

[Zeoni]

Saturday is gonna be such a good day of hockey. I'll have the Detroit and Columbus games' goin on split screen for sure.

You only need 1 point to clinch a spot. Just politely ask Dallas before the game starts to skate around for 3 periods but not actually try to score. Or stick like three defensemen inside the net with Howard trying to a get a 0-0 game into OT.

What's interesting is if for example Minnesota gains 1 point tonight @ Edmonton and ties Detroit with 54 points, and if Minnesota and Detroit were hypothetically to be playing each other in their final game on Saturday, then they both would guarantee spots by gaining at least 1 point. Meaning that it would be in the best interest of both teams to literally stand there staring at each other for 60 minutes until OT.

actually whats interesting is that if detroit wins tomorrow, and minny gets less then 3 points, detroit is a 7 seed.

Personally, I would like to give a giant "Fuck You" to Stephan Robidas and Eric Nystrom last night (Though Nystrom's penalty was borderline BS). Fuck you both for taking bad penalties at bad times. Knowing Detroit's luck Minnesota will walk all over Edmonton tonight (like they've done all year long), Nashville will once again play the awe inspiring Chris Mason in net tomorrow night and Detroit will get the "Let's play like we're in first place" Dallas Stars. Not only that....but they will probably be a "tad" bit pissed off that Detroit knocked them out of the playoffs last night. Lastly, let's not forget that Detroit hasn't exactly played great against Dallas this year (that 4-1 win Detroit had in January, Dallas basically outshot them the whole game). Yes....I am a little mad about this situation lol.

[AceofHarts]

it comes down to this: if we so much as get 1 point tomorrow night, we are in.

[Elgefar]

Let us all hope that Minnesota fails utterly in their next two games, so that we can see both Columbus and Detroit in the playoffs.

I'm less than pleased with the close to the season, second year in a row ending with a dud and dropping in the standings in the last week.
I know it didn't matter last year, but one can't always expect to win 10 straight on the road, and the Kings have never gotten home ice as long as I've been a fan, it would be nice to see.

[Zeoni]

Watch Edmonton win the draft lottery again. Fucking bastards screwed up last year so they need a do-over with Seth Jones. CALLING IT NOW!

Dont think the Hawks will be able to help you guys out tomorrow, from the sounds of it most of the starters are out.
