Warhead36 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Pretty crazy that the only three 100 point teams in the NHL(so far)are in the same division. Maybe this will be the close race we need to toughen us up for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Was only able to catch the 1st period.. Thought they looked noticeably quicker and more fluid. (Similar to before the bye week) Read that the D got a little hanky later on, but it's nice to see the offense back to scoring! From the highlights the PP also looked sharp! Tight race at the top, hope they use it for motivation! Â BTW, Crosby is such a ****.. (Hitting guy in the nuts with his stick) So glad to see him checking for teeth at the end of that game!

Zazzaro703 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Ovie is really going for that team game and I think it will payoff during the post season when defenders really dial in on him. It's a great thing he has been focused on passing pretty much this entire year. Burakovsky coming back has been the shot in the arm this team needed badly, they have looked back to normal and fast the last two games since he has returned.  Hopefully they keep up this level of play because the first two rounds are going to be brutal no matter where everyone finishes. Leafs, bruins, BJs, Pens the first two rounds is insane. 2 of the top 3 teams in the league eliminated by round 3 guarenteed is just ridiculous. I think the winner of the Atlantic and Metro should be seed #1 and seed #2 and then points should decide seeds #3 - #8.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm choosing BJs for the entirety of the first round. So, who will the Caps be playing in the first round?

Pick6 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Rangers will take their wild card to the Atlantic. I believe the Maple Leafs will end up as the wild card for the Metro. Rangers are writing their ticket straight to the ECF. That 2/3 seed 1st round matchup in the Metro is going to be brutal. I think it goes 7, no matter which of the Caps/Pens/Jackets it is.

I think Toronto won't be a wild card. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Boston misses out again and we end up with the Islanders. Â Sadly I'm not sure about the caps either, they have 2 great teams within 2 points of them. A loss tonight and they could be in 3rd by the end of the week. If they finish first though it means they are entering the post season playing great hockey so here's to hoping. The caps have looked good the last couple outings though all they are missing is the 2nd line at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least at the moment we have the tie breaker on the Pens with more wins in regulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to have to finish strong or else they will drop to 2nd or 3rd. Being forced to play well should be better for the team rather than having the presidents cup wrapped up at this time last year. Tonight is a gut check, they need to play well and win. Columbus is on the road and played last night, capitals should win tonight. If they lose, they drop out of first place. It will be good to see where there heads are.

China Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I don't care if the Caps get 1st place. Â In fact, I think it'd be a nice flip if the Pens got first place but we get the Stanley Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 And of course the puck luck allows that shot to literally go through 3 Caps and in.  And the refs call a hook on a play where the opponent used both elbows to lock onto stick and Orpik literally had no control of his stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather we take our chances with one of them round 2 than going through both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
