Wings in a spiral. 7 game losing streak. WOW doesn't cover it. Disappointment for sure. Many questions. Playing Buffalo who is smoking hot right now. Wings taking Lyon out of net and playing Reimer. Doesn't matter. The Wings Defense is pathetic. Who to blame on this downward trajectory? GM for standing pat at trading deadline? Coach for watching the team flame out? Players for playing terrible after their Captain gets hurt and nobody steps up? Seems like there is dissension within the ranks. IMO Hoping they can turn it around quick. You know what they say about hoping. GL

Scratching and clawing for a point right now.

To be honest, we'll need to see an ugly gritty win.

We're in position now at 2-1.

Just stop the leaking please.

 

[B.A.R.]

Finish this!

 

[Jeffeo]

Gritty! Good to see! They have to continue to play with a purpose moving forward or they’ll be done.

Just a weird team right now.

Sunday and the 1st period last night were incredulous.

Larkin is that important BUT there is more to it.

Lalonde comments about the 1st last night were disturbing TBH.

Razor to the rescue last night.

We may look at that ending last night as the pivotal point in this playoff drive.

Shall see.

Tomorrow night and next Tuesday are essentially worth 4 points each.

I'll be there in Section 106 tomorrow night at Hot N Ready Arena!

 

[B.A.R.]

IMMENSELY big win tonight.

Just arrived back from downtown. What a fun game!

 

[B.A.R.]

 

[B.A.R.]

I need 8 points in 11 games for RSW(points) bet to win.

 

[B.A.R.]

Big, big win down in Tampa tonight for the Wings.

Lyon was excellent.

They now have a 3 day rest before the RANGERS come to town on Friday night.

We're also 4 points away from casing the RSW bet on over 85.5 points.

So this is like a 6 team race now?

Even the penguins look to be back in if they hold on here vs the caps

Buffalo has a bunch of what I call "4 points games" playing the competitors. I think 3 of those.

Detroit hosts Washington next Tuesday at LCA. That's a 4 point game.

Reno scored 4 Tix 15th row ! Free of charge. Can't wait!

 

[guaranteeed]

Huge win today

I think pitt is biggest competitor for last spot

caps and pens this week are huge, cant lose those in regulation

Wild this Pens surge...

 

[guaranteeed]

Lindgren playing like dom hasek in his prime

 

[guaranteeed]

Flyers completely falling apart is a blessing

 

[B.A.R.]

That was wild.

All I can say.

Loudest I've heard LCA.

Incredible action in our end all 3 periods.

A lot of fun, just frustrating tonight.

 

[B.A.R.]

Great view



And this guy felt the pain of a crushing defeat.

 

[B.A.R.]

Funny thing about this chase in the East.

Teams like the Rangers tonight, Nashville twice over the weekend and TB last week are just killing us by losing as solid favorites

Nashville fighting for their own lives too

 

[guaranteeed]

Still think it's possible but pens is must win, in regulation too


Caps have

Buffalo
Tampa
Boston
Philly

They will have the regulation wins tie breaker, so need them to only get 4 or less points from that

Wings would then need 6 points

Caps schedule is not cake, thankfully.

Flyers have played an extra game, although simpler schedule.

Isles have the Habs then the NY/NJ back to back. Finish with Pittsburgh.

Remember, one of Wash, NYI and Philly gets the 3rd in division.

Wings obviously have to win in regulation Thursday. My goal this week was 4 points between Buffalo -Wash- Pitt. That's attainable.

Wings then go to T-dot on Saturday. Maybe they rest guys? I see they are only 3 back Florida now so probably not. Then finish with home and home with Habs. Bottom line, must get 6 points minimum.

Lastly, on the personal level. I really wanted the win tonight because I would have cashed my RSW points bet! Two points still needed.

I think isles get that spot

Flyers have quit on torts completely, he went too far in some post game stuff last month

 

[guaranteeed]

Toronto will play, matthews is trying for 70, plus home ice in round 1


Imo it's a 3 team race that thursday will turn into a two team race

Caps plus winner of wings pens

Noted.

Tell ya what, these teams have all has big winless steaks in the last 6 weeks.

Detroit with their 6-7.

Isles had 6-8 games.

Washington was at 6 heading into tonight.

Yeah, when I was capping the last 8-10 games I thought the Leafs might be in no man's land in the standings. Not now.

Actually went to game tonight with a Leafs guy.

when the teams that are out just play so loose

It's like the guys still gripping sticks get too tentative

Seeing it right now in anaheim

Kings should be winning this easy and ducks are winning, not luckily either, playing better

 

[guaranteeed]

8 points gets you in
7 good chance
6 better than average
5 or less would need a bit of a caps collapse, which is possible for sure

 

[guaranteeed]

Bruins will still have something to play for
Tampa is where they are cant move up or down, but kuch is in art ross battle, so I doubt he sits

a buffalo win at home Thursday vs caps would be a huge help

Good notes.

I'm all for getting in and being swept. I just want these guys to taste it before the biggest off-season SY has had.

Wild to me -- 24 years straight playoffs. That ended April 19th, 2016 vs Tampa Bay. Yes, I was there.

Time flies...

I think you guys win a game or two at least vs boston or the rangers

It is true though about experience, I would have been happy with csnucks just making it, will have first playoff home game in vancouver in 10 years, now I'd like to win a round just based on having home ice and winning division, but if that's it, I'd be ok, just get some scars in the playoffs, makes such a huge difference for the next time

Setting up to be a great finish tonight in Pittsburgh. Helluva start.

Wild game.

Razor hat trick and the Captain huge as well.

One point minimum feels huge here.

Caps losing too, very big.
