Ya what happened to Montreal and Edmonton, rut roh

Ya what happened to Montreal and Edmonton, rut roh

Edmonton is injured and resting guys. Ekholm out going to hurt them for playoffs.

Montreal is just Montrealing.


So, any suspense left? Calgary has to hope that Vegas and the Kangz just rest their guys and one of Minny and St.Louis lols it up against a bad team. East is kind of the opposite with Columbus hoping the Canes don't just lay down to Montreal. Can't really see either of those parlays hitting but I guess there's a decent chance one of them is still live going into the final day

CBJ needs to win both in regulation and Montreal to get no points. Race ends today if Flyers can at least take it to OT.

I thought VGK might try to win tonight to stay sharp and play the scrubs vs. Vancouver tomorrow night. But nah according to Sportsnet:

The Calgary Flames will play a must-win game Tuesday against an opponent stressing rest ahead of the playoffs.

The Golden Knights won't dress Alex Pietrangelo, Noah Hanifin, Jack Eichel or Mark Stone, the team told reporters after morning skate. Backup Ilya Samsonov will start in net, with Adin Hill on the bench.

probably a W for Calgary then. Minnesota only needing to get to OT vs. Anaheim tonight to clinch a playoff birth seems pretty likely though.

could make for some interesting pull the goalie situations for Columbus tonight and their last game if necessary. Would expect them to pull the goalie on any power play if they are trailing and pretty early in the 3rd period if trailing or tied for faceoffs in the offensive zone.


Everyone cheer for Leafs tonight 😀


Come on baby! woooooooooo


Who is gonna tell Leafs fanboy the regular season series score vs Ottawa this year?

😀

hehehe 😀 Something different this year anyway, and everyone is already excited for the Battle of Ontario.


weeeeeeeeeeee there it is!

100 for Marner and close to division title!


There it is 400 for Matthews! You are watching history!


Great start for Demigod, but looked like **** when he gave up on skating back and his dude scored in the 3rd.


Wooohooo!

Your Atlantic division winner! The Toronto Maple Leafs!

Habs need a point tomorrow. Can't lose in reg and be on pins and needles for Thursday's CBJ game.


What kinda effort is Carolina gonna bring tonight?

Lol, literally sitting everyone.


I might bet a large sum on the Canadiens tonight [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]


Vegas still doesn't have it at much over a coinflip


I know, it’s freaking me out.


Got -140, missed out on -130


If the Habs blow this it might be the biggest regular season choke since the 2011 Red Sox

99.6% to make the playoffs.

What did the Red Sox do?

To be fair it's a combo choke + Blue Jackets playing godly and winning all their games in regulation


great finish to the 2nd period for Montreal. seemed to kinda come out of nowhere (?)

at least if they blow this lead and lose in OT again, it's all good!*

*only for canadien fans and not bettors ofc

all you need to know are the first two autocompletes


had a 9 game lead for the wild card spot with a month to go and somehow didn't make the playoffs - easily the biggest collapse in baseball's modern era

manager was fired

was later revealed that nobody seemed to care as they all took making the playoffs for granted and the clubhouse was a big chicken, beer and video games center that final month


Really happy right now, figured it would be next year at the earliest before we made the dance.
