Games are getting ready to kick off. I will check out some of the Rangers and Canes here at 11. Looking forward to the Hawks and Oilers later this afternoon. Zero interest in the Islanders and Panthers and not much interest in Canadiens and Penguins.
My main interest is Flames and Jets late tonight ...that should be a war right off the bat.
Enjoy the games everybody

Yep, I’m ready. Got the Canes pregame on now. I’ll probably catch every game. But the Panthers game is the best candidate to take a break. That game right there is Melatonin on ice. You’re right Tim, Flames/Jets might be the best of them all today.

Rangers and Carolina doesn't hold a lot of interest for me, except it's the only one available right now, so here we go!

As much as I hate the shithawks, I fear the oil more. 4-1 700 in first.

Would love Blues to get them in 1st rd, but I don’t expect 1st seed at all for Blues.

Could be fools gold. Oilers have leak in net. Doesn’t help their cause. Will be interesting to see their response next game.

Jets 0-7 on PP and they gave up SH goal to boot. Wonder why they lost?

Playoff qualifiers and round robin games

Didn't see the game but I'm sure Helebuyck had someone to blame for each goal.

Toss up really, big fan of both Scheifele and Tkachuk and hated seeing Scheifele go down last night. Just wanted a good series and I thought the Jets PP could be the difference but they are hosed without Scheifele.

I think they still have a shot due to the absurd goalie mismatch. I still picked Calgary, but Hellybuck could steal a short series.

Flyers look like they aren’t going to have a problem regaining the form they were in when the league shutdown. I thought they were the best team in the East. I’m excited to see what they can do as they have always been my second favorite team.
Coyotes looking good....Kuemper was huge today.

If you can rename your thread, you should title it Playoff Qualifier, then we can just run with this.

Tim, can you expand on the Bruins getting smoked? Was wondering how that looked.

Not much to it really . Philly has a lot of depth, better defense and a better goalie. Halak was in the net for the Bruins today. The Bruins big line isn’t getting any younger either and when they struggle the Bruins struggle. Its gonna take Boston awhile to get warmed up and by then it might be too late.
