Bruins can clinch the Presidents trophy today and the Habs can be mathematically eliminated.

Apparently Vegas can clinch with a mess of scenarios too




How does Montreal get eliminated tonight? Also, my guess is that Vegas, in one way or another, clinches, and Boston cliches the President's.

With a healthy Demko, Pettersson, and Hughes, there was no hope of getting a top 5 pick anyway

Goaltending to me is holding them back

Jarry cant stay healthy and has a 0.908 and Desmith has a 0.907

Someone like Varlomov or Anderson makes sense

As honestly Hextall made okay moves not great moves but adding Granlund, Kulikov, and Bonino werent bad just 2 of the 3 ended up on LTIR. Heck got a 3rd for a struggling Bleuger. And yeah they old but lets be honest in most games its often goaltending holding them back.

Great video flashback story on NESN BOS-NSH game (a stinker thus far) 0-0:

G. Hathaway was in the stands at a BOS-WASH game when he was younger.
Byron Dafoe (BOS G) & Olaf Kolzig (WASH G) had a solid tussle/scrum during the game...

Turns out - they were both "Best Man's" @ each others weddings LOL!!
cheers

McAvoy -gets a solid cross check to the face - 2mins!

Ref earlier went to sleep, full-on, on a Pasta boarding no-no; let BOS handle the puck for three passes before the alarm clock went off!

It takes 16 points to catch Pittsburgh for WC#2 and if we do not win we only have a possible 14 points remaining.

100%. While a lot of the games were close the last 2 years, they have really struggled to close against the Canes and Boston will light Jarry and DeSmith up. They'll lose if they get in.

EDIT- However if Carolina blows the division and they somehow draw New Jersey, they have a much better chance. I just don't see it happening. Goaltending is too inconsistent.

another day another goal for Bouchard, really wish they extended him before before the TDL, has been ppg since then

also holy crap the Oilers PP is so good, they can score on it so effortlessly

also Nuge has 92 points, I want to see him get to 100 so badly, 93 now has 93, 93 now has 94

9 goals in 13 games for Vrana. Don’t understand why no one picked him up on waivers. He’s a 40 G scorer when healthy
