Game has flipped. All that good work of the 2nd flies out the window. 3-2 Caps.

Great persistence on that scramble!

Flyers up 2-0 over the Rangers. That hurts.

I thought the Wings were going to score when Kane held the puck forever.

One team in red & white already won their must-win game today. Let’s make it two.

Wings hadn’t scored in awhile, but DeBrincat ties it. His first goal in 13 games.

Not often you see a too many on the ice penalty reversed Scoreless after 1

Shinma was a great poster, a big part of this part of the board during the 2008-2009 SCFs and beyond.

I don’t know what the odds sites say, but I would say that with a regulation win tonight I’d give the Wings a 45% chance of making the playoffs. 20% with a regulation loss.

Is Petry's cap hit for next year really $6.5mm? Or I am misreading cap sites.

Rod Moore ACL apparently

I'm surprised there are so many 21-23 year olds in the NHL this season, at least as backups. Cossa will be 21 and 10 months next training camp so is ready to be given a shot. https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask/youngest-goalie-in-the-nhl-2024

So with Tampa now pretty much locked in (they are closer to reeling in the Leafs than blowing a playoff spot), the two spots left are Metro #3 and Wildcard #2. The opponent of Wildcard #2 would be whichever one of these four teams finishes highest: - NYR, 98 pts, 11 games remaining (38 regulation wins) - Florida, 97 pts, 11 games remaining (38 regulation wins) - Carolina, 97 pts, 10 games remaining (37 regulation wins) - Boston, 97 pts, 10 games remaining (32 regulation wins) The President's Trophy is among those four teams plus Vancouver (98 pts, 11 games remaining, 39 regulation wins) and Colorado 97 pts, 11 games remaining, 38 regulation wins) and Dallas (97 points, 10 games remaining, 38 regulation wins). Interesting that there is only 1 point separating the top 7 teams, but 23 points separating the bottom 5 teams.

Plus the Regulation Wins tiebreaker works against the Wings. 28 for Philly and Washington, 25 for the Wings. And 7 of the Wings' 11 remaining games are on the road.

Goodbye Tampa. Goodbye Pittsburgh.

I wouldn’t retire #16 Konstantinov or #30 Osgood.

Caps would go 3 up with a regulation win the Wings on Tuesday. Philly already 3 up on the Wings.

Wings did everything but tie it in final 2 minutes in 1-0 loss. If this was 20 games to go, I would say this effort is highly encouraging. But with only 11 games to go, points are king, no moral victories. If only the Wings D-man hadnt overskated the puck trying to carry it out of zone leading to only with just over 5 minutes left.

Heartbreaker goal with 5:13 to go after wild sequence. 1-0 Nashville final even though Wings played one of their better games

Win or lose, this is a much different (better) Wings team than the one that lost 7 straight. 0-0 after 2

Islanders outshooting Winnipeg 27-4. That may be as lopsided of a shots ratio that I can remember. Isles up 5-1. No help there.

Ironic that a 6-6 game takes into the 5th round to see a shootout goal.

This game is all over the place. 5-5 Caps Canes with 8 minutes left in regulation.

Holy, didn’t realize how tough tomorrow was going to be.

When you have bubble teams that have played at or slightly point per game pace, most are going to pick up 8-12 points every 10 games. We barely have more than 10 games left in the season. See the Strk column to the far right So time is really running out for Pitt, Buffalo and even Jersey. I don’t think any of them will reach 90 points, which to me is the bare minimum to even be in the conservation. I think the 8th place team will finish with 93 points, give or take a point or two. - Buffalo at 71 points with 11 games to go would top out at 93 points if they win all 11, but even highly improbable 9-2 would only get them to 89 - Jersey at 72 points could top out at 96 if they won all 12 remaining, but even unlikely 8–3-1 would only get them to 89 - Pitt at 69 points could top out at 97 if they won all 14 remaining, but even a highly improbable 10-4 would only get them to 89 I also think Tampa is all but safe. To me, at this point it is 2 spots for Philly, Detroit, Washington, NYI.
