Heh, I saw it pop up and thought of you. Do those guys hate on Detroit fairly regularly?

Lazerus absolutely, Gentille sometimes, McIndoe when the narrative tells him to.
Even when the Wings were doing well they all doubted it, which to be fair proved accurate, but I also wasn’t counting them in the playoffs until they clinched.

Chabot on the ice doing contact drills 12 days after surgery for broken forearm?

He's... playing tonight? Does he have magic bone-juice?

Maybe they kept Melnyk's liverboy tied up in the CTC basement

(context: his injury was listed as 4-8 weeks but it happened 2 weeks ago... for those of you not religiously following the SNES)

Yeah, feels weird. Like, the Panthers are playing an exhibition level roster and are missing:
Tkachuk
Barkov
Rodrigues
Reinhart
Marchand
Jones
Kulikov
Ekblad
Lundell
Mikkola
Still lots of guys who can hack a wrist, tho. Why not let him heal longer until it's do-or-die?

Must be nice to play a team that is explicitly tanking so they maintain their draft pick

As it turns out, that applies to both Florida and Toronto

The last game of the year, when I’m sure they will be eliminated
Tkachuk was definitely in for the games last month

Yeah, I mean I remember him being in last week! At this point of the game, 5 mins left in the first, it was 5-0 Florida.

Just explained the playoff scenario to my son
He’s hoping that the Wings win out and Ottawa gets four OT losses
I do not see that happening

Afraid to type anything but an OT loss TONIGHT would be absolutely devastating at this point. I can see them losing in reg against the Isles on Saturday, especially with the new coach bump in full effect. If they can't beat NJD and TOR in their last two games then they deserve whatever happens tho
Buffalo's maybe doing their part at least.

Shots in long island are 44 to 13, somehow the Leafs are still in the game.

I probably should’ve looked at Ottawa’s last four games, they are not losing two of those
