April NHL game thread

LA in lots of trouble. Lost 4-2 last night to Edmonton, Flames and Jets both won. Jets 3 points up on LA, Calgary 2 with the tiebreakers.
That Calgary/LA game tomorrow night will be must see hockey. Too bad it will have a late ending.
Flames win 3-1, eliminating the Kings and giving the Jets their first playoff since 2007 (franchise) or 1996 (city).
I hope you guys are practicing...

Personally I was really hoping the B's would have some breathing room at this point, and the Flyers could dress 20 random fans from the seats and just blatantly screw the Pens.

Islanders did their part by winning tonight. Can't see Pittsburgh losing to Buffalo though...or Bruins beating TB for that matter.
Well, Ruffalo did clinch one of McEichel, so they might decide to push hard for the fans tomorrow.YesYesY'all said:
FYI - Center Ice is free because of the MLB preview cross-over (previously mentioned by somebody).
I can't believe I'm watching this over the Red Sox. Just purposefully pissing myself off I guess.
Just so I know how to waste my night, if OTT wins, we still get in with a Pitt regulation loss and B's regulation win?
That last one blows my mind. If Buffalo leads late and the Bruins are in a position to get anything out of it, do they go 5 behind the puck to avoid losing in regulation?The Four Peters said:
Flyers/Colaiacovo bailed out by a real quick whistle.
Not news but the Flyers' blue line is really, really, really bad

From nhl.com:
* The Bruins would clinch a playoff berth if they defeat the Lightning in any fashion AND either the Senators or Penguins lose in regulation. If the Bruins defeat the Lightning in regulation or overtime, they would qualify with either a Senators regulation loss or Penguins loss in any fashion.

I can't believe it's down to whether f-ing Buffalo can beat Pittsburgh.
And even if they do, it still might not be enough.

if only they had 1 more point and ROW that was not taken from them because the refs failed to call goaltender interference...SoxFanInCali said:
I am so frustrated with this team but hate the fact that they should still be in a better position than they are due to bad breaks.
Bad breaks have nothing to do with the position they're in now. Nothing. They've played like shit for long stretches of the season and too many players have been disppointing.
But that is not true. The team has played like shit and put themselves in this position but I cited a specific example from two weeks ago that would again have them in control of their own destiny tonight (not that it would matter with them).Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
I am not excusing how they have played and fallen apart over the season, but we can acknowledged how shitty the season has been outside of them sucking. This can be said and still think that the team has some serious flaws.
It is surreal watching NBC spend about 5 minutes talking about the Ottawa Senators. That would be unusual for the CBC, let alone a US network.

I'm in the "keep Claude" camp, but if he goes, Sutter would be a great hire IMO
