Central division MADNESS
ctrl-f MSL in the past two game threads, then look at standings, 😵
Gonna be 1st in the East at NYE
26-2-7 is absurd lol
Two of the top 3 teams in this graphic will not make the conference final. One will lose in the first round. That’s an injustice.
The Eastern Conference playoff picture could not possibly be more unclear. Good for Les Boys, nonetheless!
Toronto 16th
It’s awe-inspiring. The rebuild is progressing well.
And yet the GDT comments are somehow always full of people insisting Marty has to go, the first line sucks, Bolduc is awful, etc. etc. wading into that shithole thread every game is draining my sanity. Proud of the habs tonight, though!
Time to rebuild!
But Crosby will never come here because we’re not a cup contender, right?
Islanders are the most surprising team to me. I don’t think anyone was giving them any consideration. I guess Schaeffer has really helped.
Incredibly proud of this team, especially with the usual horrendous injury luck and compressed schedule.
We’re in a good spot. Games are going to be more and more meaningful. TOI more and more important. Example tonight Xhekaj with only 7 minutes. The internal competition is brewing and it is healthy. Gonna be time to lock tf in!
Sixth in the league and a negative goal differential. I’m here for it, but make it make sense!!!!
Let’s go Les boys
i’d be curious to see a graph the habs position in standings since the beginning of the season
Chat:is this good?
Colorado and Dallas seem to be made of a different cloth.
Every time I look at the standings, I keep realizing how there’s no margin at all.
Makes the Monty decisions way more complicated.
Seems like the trade between MTL and NYI worked pretty well for both teams. Love to see it.
