The Philadelphia Flyers are dogshit garbage and also in second place in the Metro. Fox did an amazing Jack Johnson impression on the Flyers' 4th goal e: Eichel's going to demand a trade this summer isn't he?

Eichel just needs a change of scenery... something like the prairies and the rocky mountains and pickup trucks with bumper nuts.

I like the scenario of the Canucks dropping down to a wildcard spot while Edmonton and Calgary maintain theirs so we can get what we all deserve and that's the battle of Alberta playoffs edition

LOL, hottest at the moment yes, best no. The Bruins are the best team and it's not close. The Lightning and Caps are also better than the Flyers. Personally I've never had any hate for the Flyers since the rage from the Primeau/Tugnutt Game wore off (in about 2009) and it's cool and good that they're good again, but come on.

Neither have the Penguins  (OK they played the Caps) e: vvv The magic of the Pacific is that fans of five teams can still legitimately dream of a Cinderella run to get crushed like an ant under a truck tire by St. Louis or Colorado in the WCF.

This is basically the only thing keeping me going lately. Whenever I think "the canucks are bad" I have to remember that while that is true, it is also true for everybody else they're competing with. Hence, the playoff hope remains. That and watching Quinn Hughes play hockey.

the talent deficit posted:vancouver is gonna miss the playoffs thereby keeping their first round pick but are going to be even worse next year when markstrom, toffoli and tanev all walk I know the nhl is bush league and coaches and GMs ice terrible players for reasons we could never hope to fathom, but what if the Canucks waived Eriksson? I know that's a lot of salary buried in the minors which is embarrassing and all, but imagine if he refuses to report? It doesn't look like he's trying that hard to begin with, I sincerely doubt he would be interested in playing in Utica. I am wholeheartedly behind any desperate measure to fix the cap issue. Like does any other team have this bad of an issue with the cap right now? I.e. struggling to make the playoffs, a bunch of useless and aged overpaid 4th liners (at best) with NTCs who are untradeable regardless, and a bunch of desperately needed talent they can't afford to sign, including their no 1 goaltender. And potentially no high draft picks this year. Lmao, what a nightmare.

They've taken advantage of a weak division having a down year for much of the season. They won't get lucky again. They either make the playoffs or they sacrifice a lottery pick next year.
