I like the Flyers' chances, but also fully expect them to disappoint me in new and fascinating ways, so this should be a fun month.

The Bruins have been bad this year but I really hope they make the playoffs as #3 Atlantic or WC1. Boston tends to play very well against the Florida teams for whatever reason. It would not surprise me in the least if the Bruins managed to get to the ECF despite being "just ok" by virtue of getting to play Florida and Tampa, theoretically, in rounds 1 and 2. That said, I'm about 95% sure that Boston is going to gently caress up in the last five games and miss the playoffs by like 1 point again.

It's amazing to me how there's only one team in the East having clinched a playoff spot so far while the West is down to the two wild card spots.

Elwood Cuse posted:Would like to see a fancystats comparison to now and when they went 15-0 in March 2013, because we all saw what good that ended up doing them. I'm not saying you're doing this but people get way too panicky about their team peaking too early before the playoffs. That doesn't matter. If anything it's a good omen that you're playing that well, unless you're getting unsustainably lucky. When the Pens won the Cup in 09 they went something like 19-4 down the stretch before the playoffs started. They were also a possession beast. They are that now as well and I legitimately believe they have a chance to win the cup now. If they keep possessing the puck like they are and manage to cobble together a functioning powerplay then they can beat anyone. e: In related news any Wings loss moving forward (even an OTL) will officially clinch the Pens a playoff spot. If the Rangers/Panthers get at least a point and the Wings lose a game in regulation that would clinch for those teams as well. Ginette Reno fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Apr 1, 2016 |

Success in the playoffs depends about 60% on health, 30% on your goalie being hot and 10% everything else

The West has more top-end teams than the East, but they also have more garbage teams at the bottom, there aren't really any borderline teams in the West. It's mostly divided between "Real Good" and "poo poo". On the other hand, the East has maybe 2-3 top-end teams, a few stinkers, and a lot of middling teams that are of similar quality. It makes sense that playoff spots haven't been clinched yet.

I see the Rangers have decided that they want to lose their way into the WC1 spot so they can face the Panthers instead of the Penguins in the first round. Good strategy IMO.

Robby Fabbri looked like he hosed up his knee pretty badly the other night but apparently it's not that bad and he can start skating again in a couple days. I really hope he's back by the playoffs.

I was pretty taken aback to find out that Benn is the first Stars player to hit 40 goals since Modano did it in 1994. Hull only hit 39 for the Stars.

Someone should tell Portzline that there's some good hockey going on in 2016 and he should leave 2013 behind one of these days. I've seen the Jackets enough in non-Penguins games to know thuggery is their M.O. They dial it up against the Penguins but so does everyone else. The single best thing about Mike Sullivan is the Penguins have finally, FINALLY, stopped responding to thuggery by flailing about ineffectually in lieu of playing defense and now just stick to playing hockey and winning.

There's no way the Wings won't gently caress this up. I have come to terms with THE STREAK being over. Even if we did sneak in, we'd get absolutely thrashed in the first round with the way Howard/Mrazek/defense/everyone have been playing.

Aphrodite posted:No world in which Detroit makes it is perfect. Correct. Philly's potential for collapse is definitely in the back of my mind but god drat if they haven't been fun as hell since the All-Star break. The playoffs are a super real possibility, and even if they don't get beyond Washington this year has vastly exceeded my expectations for it.

If nothing else this year is shaping up to give a new look to the playoffs. Maybe even a team that hasn't won the cup in the last 6 years will pull it off!
