      You know it’s the one thing I miss most about reddit, so I thought I’d try to get some discussion going with the playoffs afoot

        Yeah it would be good if it’s more active. Reddit is just a cess pool but I miss the Colorado Avalanche sub Reddit and the hockey one.

        Who’s your team? Or are you bandwagonning?

            Ahhh no. Gutting…hopefully you turn it around with the next two home games. Just getting a small edge on Toronto and hopefully they will start to crumble.

            I’m looking forward to getting Landeskog back for the first home game. It’s going to be electric!

              Ya, they really need to win the next one. Felt so close last night and then… ya.

              Landy coming back is huge, what a legend!!!

        I didn’t realize they were in a funk, I was eclipsed by the Ovi record chase. What’d you think of their play last night?

          They’ve leaned pretty heavily on LT their first two games. If you look at how the Caps finished the regular season, losing to the Blue Jackets, the Isles, etc, it didn’t inspire a lot of confidence. I’m glad they’re off to a 2-0 lead in the series against the Habs, but I think they’ll need to find another gear if they’re gonna make a deep run this year. I’d love nothing more than to see Ovi win another cup before he retires, and I think they can do it this year if LT stays healthy and everyone eats their wheaties, but it’s gonna be a slog. Then again, I know that’s how its supposed to be. We’ll see!

      Assuming Ehlers recovers and everyone else stays healthy, the Jets can absolutely take the series.

      As a Blues fan, I’d love to say us, but I don’t see us getting past the Jets. Especially if Holloway is still out.

        Ya, the Avs are looking elite this year. Not as tuned into the Stars, but agreed their last ten isn’t looking great.

        It’s pretty common to fall off at the end of the regular season, all the teams who have no chance of moving up or down in their brackets (in order to gain home ice or face a more favorable contender) rest their top talent. The Avs last few games saw their fourth line promoted to first, and lines 2-4 populated with dudes who didn’t see any I’ve time this year. No use in risking injury for games that literally don’t matter.

      I must’ve been asleep b/c I didn’t recall the Panthers’ having slipped so far toward the end of the regular season that Tampa got home ice advantage. Hell, the cats finished only one point ahead of the Sens! Granted, they were missing Tkachuk and Marchand for a good chunk there. Based on how well they turned it around in Tampa, I won’t be surprised if they complete the sweep in Sunrise.
