Hey what were the (Vegas) odds of this happening? lmao

Golden Knights' Mark Stone cleared to practice in non-contact jersey

NHL is a JOKE.

He'll be ready to go game #1 of playoffs just as predicted.. by everyone.. I like the part where Vegas "clears" Stone to practice with a "non-contact" jersey rofl

.. Vegas is basically telling the NHL "yeah.. we pulled another cap fraud scam.. what are you going to do about it.. that's right - nothing.. you putz.. LOL! "

Dr. Gregor was telling everyone that "lacerated spleen" is a very SERIOUS injury.. "all YOU people that think he'll be back for game #1 are so dumb.. you know nothing about medicine.. morons.. "
Gregor is the chump.. he actually believed the Vegas medical staff.. like they couldn't be persuaded ($) to embellish an injury prognosis.

Oh.. and Vegas just signed Hanifin to a 8 x $7.375M contract..

All the Edmonton media can do is report the information given by the team and according to the team and their doctors, he had a lacerated spleen and internal bleeding. That's a pretty serious injury which would require surgery on an internal organ to repair and if you look up the recovery time online, it says a min of 2 months recovery time with zero contact or strenuous activities and it could be longer. He was ruled out March 10th so he's back on the ice in 1 month.

So either it's an act of god that he somehow recovered from an internal organ being injured and internal bleeding or something is pretty fishy with what their medical staff is reporting.

I am not trying to come off as Oilers fan sour grapes guy but at some point doesn't the league have to at least take a look? Ligament strains and degrees of tears of things can be somewhat subjective if a team wants. Guys can play with braces if a ligament is only slightly torn as an example so maybe the recovery time can be massaged a bit but saying you severely damaged an internal organ is pretty freaking significant and to somehow completely grossly surpass any kind of normal recoverly time, seems extremely suspicious and in my opinion, makes the league look horrible.

Exciting finish out East. Last spot to be decided by game 82 for Washington, Detroit and Pitts.

Would be nice to see the wings make the playoffs in year 3 after Yzerman fully nuked Holland's disaster.

Huge night tonight.

If the Caps win, they are in.
If the Caps lose and the Wings win, they are in (playing Montreal again tonight - back to back. Not sure I've ever seen that)
If the Caps and Wings lose, the Pens get in with a win tomorrow.
The Flyers need lots of help - they need to beat the Caps in regulation tonight. and have the Wings and Pens lose in regulation to get in.

Missed that the Flyers can still be in. Would have identical record to Washington 39-32-11, 31 RW, 35 ROW, but the win would win their tie break for H2H. I want to see that :)

Crazy Washington can make it with around a -38 goal differential. Must have had a lot of awful losses this season.

Equally shocking is the Oilers have +64 goal differential. Currently top in the west. After that start we had? Crazy.

Buffalo fired their coaching staff. Can't say I'm surprised. They were close to the playoffs but not nearly good enough to make it. Something had to give after missing the playoffs for the 13th consecutive year.

And in finding that number I also learned the Oilers have the longest regular season division title drought.

I don't watch Capitals games but how can a team with a -38 goal diff probably make the playoffs! If you are giving up that many more goals, in theory, you should be losing games. Flip side, the worst West playoff team is a +21.

I like this view where it shows the bars for how much a teams wins and loses by. Washington has lost a game by 3 or more 24 times, and won a game by 3 or more X times. 12 times. When they lose they lose big.

Will be interesting to see how tonight plays out. If Washington wins over Philly, then the Caps are in. If Washington loses and Detroit wins against the Habs, then the Red Wings are in. If the Caps and Red Wings lose, then the Penguins get a shot at it in their game tomorrow against the Islanders. If everyone loses, then the FLYERS are in, as they would tie on RWs, ROWs, Ws so would come to season series which is decided tonight with both teams 1-1 so far this year against each other.

Wow.

I had read that it actually goes one tie breaker further which is goal differential (still with the flyers getting in if all others lose). They play an odd number of games against each other so the first game in Philly isn't used in the head to head. The flyers winning tonight will make the series tied 1-1 on the year.

That said, I didn't check to see if that was true just seemed like a crazy number of tie breakers that they had to go to. Makes me hope that it gets down to it

Regulation wins is first. 32 to 27 for Washington. Detroit relied a lot more on gimmick hockey for their wins.

I think that might be new as of a couple years ago. I do recall it was just ROW before. But I guess they decided it was worth it to make it more complicated to give respect to the regulation wins.

Found this post from 2 years ago on rule changes:

1) RWs NEW

2) ROW (previously 1st and now basically OWs),

3) All wins (Shootout wins) NEW

4) H2H Points 4th (previously 2nd)

5) Goal differential (previously 3rd)

6) Goals scored NEW {a team that scores more stumps one that allows fewer goals}Tiebreakers 5&6 are "decoration tiebreakers" as they'll never come into play.

Washington spoils it. That Flyers/Caps game was not a good setup for the Wings since Flyers had to win in regulation.

But, probably shouldn't put yourself in that situation to start with. Wings had a brutal string of losses before this last run. 2 embarrassing losses against the Coyotes in March.

They did make it meaningless but only because Philly (thinking that Detroit had lost) pulled their goalie in a tie game to give Washington the win.

Lol brutal and weird turn off events for Detroit and Philly and lucky for caps.

Yeah, seems unlikely Flyers knew it was hopeless and were just focused on what they knew would be their only hope. Think it all happened in a period of 2 minutes, the wings tie and Flyers giving up the goal. Too bad for the wings.

Flyers needed the win in regulation - 1 point by the Caps eliminated the Flyers, so regardless of what was happening in Montreal, Flyers needed to do all the could to stop the Caps from getting a point.

The knights beat the Oilers last year because of "game management" by the on ice officials and the NHLs "player safety department". Without it they don't win that series.

It seems to me that that people around the league are starting to get a bit tired of the Vegas act. My guess is they don't get the same treatment this year.

I would have preferred Vegas going to the crossover too. I doubt they could beat Dallas, and I do not think they would beat the Avs or Jets if they somehow snuck past Dallas.

All being said, the Knights are primed for a loss. Stone will have rust. Stephenson, Mantha and Pietrangelo all with ailments. Plus their goaltending has looked sketchy this year. Hill has not been stealing games and has had injuries battles all season.

Put whoever you want in front of Edmonton. The only team I am concerned about is the Oilers themselves, and their incredible ability to repeatedly shoot themselves in their foot for years. Time to break free and win.

I strongly disagree with this and really hope the Oilers haven't fallen into the same trap. Vegas figured out how to break the Oilers system and won because they were better. I suspect the rest of the league saw what Vegas did and followed the same plan against the Oilers at the start of this season. The Oilers can beat Vegas as long as Knoblach and Co can adjust as the series rolls along. If they can't... I'm sure we'll be blaming goalie luck and the DPS again.

Our starting netminder got pulled in three of the last 4 games, so I have a hard time blaming the league for our defeat last season. Here's Skinner's numbers from that series:

Game 1 - 5GA, 5.04GAA, .848 Sv%
Game 2 - 1GA, 1.00GAA, .968 Sv%
Game 3 - 4 GA, 7.49GAA, .826 Sv% (32 mins)
Game 4 - 1GA, 1.00GAA, .962 Sv%
Game 5 - 4GA, 6.75GAA, .818 Sv% (35 mins)
Game 6 - 4GA, 6.00GAA, .765 Sv% (40 mins)

Hopefully that left a really bad taste in the Oilers mouths and they come ready to play this year - and with any luck, our goalie is not playing at .850 for the series. Even with the Kings series included, his save percentage for last year was a woeful .883. We need a lot more this year.

Sigh...it's looking more & more like we're going to be facing Vegas in round 1. Unless Anaheim can pull off a massive upset on Thursday.

The one matchup I did not want heading into the playoffs.

And for those running to start Campbell after his solid numbers in Skinner reliefs ... Campbell looked sketchy at best and it if Skinner's regular season is an indicator then those playoffs may have been a TSN turning point in his career.

We will see.

Also the games seemed to get away from the Oilers in small chunks of the game where they would completely fall apart. A problem that has lessened, but still rears its ugly head far too often for my liking. I do not believe a team can play a full 60 minutes without some let downs, but the let downs need to be less severe, and corrected quicker.

Leafs smoked by Florida. Leafs kept the goalie pulled down 3 because they don't want to play Matthews b2b before playoffs, but he stays at 69 goals.

It's OK. 69 is perfect for Auston The Midnight Mooner IMO.

Doughty scares me.

You just know he’s going to knick up an important piece of the team.

Hate that guy.

I also think Vegas may be legit injured this playoff stretch...while LA could potentially knock out the Stars in R1 too

See such a wide range of opinions about the first round matchup for the Oilers, but i guess it is what it is now.

Personally, wanted the Kings. Think we match up better and if we lose it would be all our fault. I think we have trouble with the high end guys on Vegas and their play style. IMO Kings/Canucks or Nashville to the conf finals is as easy as we could ask for in this conference. Hopefully we show up and don't waste the chance.

If we do waste it. I point the finger at management much more than the players still.

They were pathetic last year.
