Yeah. I think they were expected to hang in the playoff race, making the playoffs would be a bonus. Winning two rounds (though one of them didn't exist last season), one to the defending Stanley Cup Champs, and then taking the round they lost in to Game 7 was blowing those expectations out of the water. Sophomore slump next year maybe, Vegas wrote the blueprint for cancelling out the Canuck offense

CBJ wins 3-0

We still hangin on (Canucks giving up too many shots and not shooting enough themselves, I can't see them winning three straight against Vegas) I think Tampa wins the Cup this year (said that to my dad before they beat Boston)

Leafs down 1-0 near the end of the 2nd

BRUH THE NORTH DIVISION

Arizona is 15-9-4 and in 2nd place right now in the Pacific with 34 points. I haven't been able to catch a game this year, especially since I don't live in Arizona anymore but I've been all over the standings several times a week. Maybe if I get my Enhanced ID I can drive up to Vancouver and watch them play the Canucks sometime before the Seattle team kicks off in a couple years.

Just looked at the standings and the Leafs are a few spots out of the Wild Card. This is supposed to be a win-now team Though they do have enough points that they're within striking distance. From what I hear on Toronto sports podcasts, it sounds like D is the main problem... but I guess they don't really have a top tier goalie either. Also, it is comforting to see the Habs and Sens even lower in the standings

WE IN GAME 7 (Another 40 shots against, Canucks should not be in this series still)
-
Gotta figure Peters gets fired pretty soon Also, like, is anybody really that shocked that hockey culture is a bit fucked up? Not even just hockey, sprots in general
-
TBH if they cut off 10 games in the regular season and had this play-in round every year, shit would be pretty cool.
-
I'm surprised they're still playing hockey at all!

Orcas eat Giant Squid, so it's fine by me :D

Pro: Bo Horvat is dominating the shit out of St Louis Con: St Louis is starting to find their game

Plz no

I guess it's a good experience for the team then (mostly young players, I assume?). Maybe they can learn from it and come back stronger next year. I hope the Blue Jays can accomplish something similar this year. They're on a bit of a roll right now and in the thick of the AL Wild Card race. If they can get in as the WC team, they have the potential to cause some trouble for whatever team they would play in the Division Series. I doubt they'd win a series, but it would be a good experience for the team and they could make the other team sweat a little bit.

I'm surprised that anybody is on board to be honest. With no fans (I'm assuming the games will be played in empty arenas?), no ticket sales, merch sales, etc then they're not going to make money on this. I'm also skeptical that TV ratings will be good. But who knows. I'll watch a bit if they do go through with it, and I'm sure that most teams can afford to take a hit financially this season, so if they're doing it for the love of the game then that's cool.

Auston Matthews and some of the Tampa Bay Lightning tested positive Probably just shut'er down. This Stanley Cup would already have an asterisk attached to it, imagine if we're in Game 3 of the Cup Finals and then one or two players on the other team test positive. Shut the league down for two weeks? Keep playing and award a Championship because of avoidable bad luck?

Arigato, Eizan's team, for wiping out Vegas.

>Taylor Hall to Arizona FFfffuuuuuuuuck

I think the Canucks have potential to be sneaky good this year. Not a Cup contender, but maybe they'll turn a few heads. My Jets are probably going to take a step back this year. Not sure what's going on with the Byfuglien situation People in Toronto are really high on the Leafs this year and it will probably end in tears. Should be fun to watch

I think basketball's problem is that, outside of a few blips every once in awhile, you know which four or five teams actually have the a shot to win the championship and everyone else is kind of just there
-
When OHL hockey comes back in Feb., bodychecking will not be allowed Who knows, games might be more fast and exciting without checking ... not that I watch fuckin' minor league hockey ... but it's not really going to look like hockey.
-
Yeah just throw the season away. Basketball might have to do the same thing. And it's still unclear if baseball can salvage their season, last I heard the players and league were not close to an agreement yet.

Yeah, I think the players' motivation is some combination of wanting to win the Cup, they want to play because they love to play the game, or they just have been hockey players so long they don't know what else to do with themselves. Maybe the special playoff format will be fun for them too. But I think most NHL contracts are guaranteed, aren't they? I would have expected quite a few players to be content just riding it out and not playing, but maybe I'm wrong. Guys who are coming up on free agency are probably conflicted; on one hand you want to prove your worth and earn a good contract, but on the other hand you don't want to risk injury/illness and mess up your free agency.
