Eric the Mauve posted:Just gonna repost from the end of the Feb thread because I'm still Angry About Jack Johnson: Could everything Jack Johnson related in Pittsburgh have something to do with unnecessarily doing something extra to please Sidney Crosby? I know it's been said they've been friends since prep school and it was said Aaron Johnson got a second tour in Columbus in 2011 because he's Rick Nash's BFF. In other words, maybe the pinata is the Superstar forward and not so much the coach and GM?

The Jackets have enough points to have the equivalent of two more wins in their last 10!  That would give them the equivalent of 3 wins in their last 10.  e- Jesus loving Christ, now Nathan Gerbe is out 1-2 weeks. The Hockey Gods are now smiting the minor league callups this year.

Eric the Mauve posted:I lived an hour west of Nashville ten years ago and I am here to tell you there is nothing in the world as pants making GBS threads terrifying as a tornado. I got to experience a couple of them far closer than I ever wanted to. One time a heavily wooded hill a half mile from my house had a 30 foot wide, quarter mile long swath of trees just... gone, after a tornado hit there. Like a giant took a weed eater to it. TV coverage of SCF Game 1 last year was interrupted by this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_sequence_of_May_2019#Brookville_%E2%80%93_Trotwood_%E2%80%93_Dayton,_Ohio Breathing a sigh of relief that a tornado missed you only to find out a second goddamn tornado is on its way is a hell of a thing. (Fortunately, both missed me.) Anybody who bitches about their show getting pre-empted by storm coverage can shut it. e- One of the tornadoes destroyed Hara Arena, which was home of several Dayton IHL/ECHL/Federal League teams over the years.

Jackets get a point!  Jackets blew a 2-0 lead in the third period to lose in OT.  Jackets gained a spot in the standings and now has a four point cushion on the Canes and 5 on the Rags. Jackets getting one point when they should've gotten two with an AHL roster is kind of like when you go to the store to buy a brand you want and have to settle for store brand. It'll do, but Great Value brand is not Doritos.

Carolina and Pittsburgh are going to see quite a bit of each other between now and the finish line. Clearly, the hockey gods are atoning for 2013 when they when on that monster run and would've legitimately won their way into the playoffs if not for the ROW tiebreaker which was championed in part by their own former GM.

Wysh had a big writeup on potential playoff realignment (again) and some of the options (play-in) sucked but, for argument's sake, here's what a 1-16 and 1-8 bracket might look like: 16) FLA vs 1) BOS 15) CGY vs 2) TBL 14) NYI vs 3) STL 13) CBJ vs 4) COL 12) TOR vs 5) WSH 11) CAR vs 6) PHI 10) DAL vs 7) PIT 9) EDM vs 8) VGK 1-8 (East; ignores Division winners as the 1 and 2) 8) CBJ vs 1) BOS 7) TOR vs 2) TBL 6) CAR vs 3) WSH 5) PIT vs 4) PHI Battle of Pennsylvania Fun Times 1-8 (West; ignores Division winners as the 1 and 2) 8) WPG vs 1) STL 7) NSH vs 2) COL 6) CGY vs 3) VGK 5) DAL vs 4) EDM ...under the 1-16, Winnipeg and Nashville don't even get in.

Bryz lets in a softie, then MAFster lets in a softie and multiple scraps ensue immediately afterwards as DOOP plays. I'd forgotten how comical the 2012 Battle of Pennsylvania was. This may be the first time I watch an old game in its entirety. It helps that I don't remember who won the game or the series (or that Jagr was on the Flyera).

THN suggested that, if the NHL allowed compliance buyouts due to the economy being in the crapper, the Panthers could conceivably use one on  .That would be a hell of a thing. Eric the Mauve posted:Yes, and then he turned down a big extension from the Penguins to sign a 1-year deal with the Red Wings, and said it was because they were likelier to win the Cup. And then, when that didn't work, hopped the Chicago bandwagon and it finally paid off.
