Das 2025-2026 NHL Regular Season Thread: If Connor McDavid were a real team player, he’d sign for the league minimum

[sutterfamily]

CBJ season is in progress of dying

[sutterfamily]

3-1

4-1

[sutterfamily]

5-1

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ah well nevertheless

[sutterfamily]

What if boston loses all their games in reg, Detroit could catch them

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I have also considered that option

[sutterfamily]

Weirdly, the nhl.com site says it's 3-1 Buffalo but the score is actually 4-0

[sutterfamily]

ah, it's fixed now.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Boston has BLOT, Beej, Devils. I don’t see it happening.

Is New Jersey playing everyone in the last week

[sutterfamily]

Flyers gave 25 regulation wins (out of 40), that's wild

[sutterfamily]

SNES are 3-9 in OT, so many lost points in those games.

[sutterfamily]

SNES get in guaranteed by going 1-1-1 over last three games, though that's only needed to guarantee even if the teams behind them go 3-0. Magic points number is 3, basically.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

They should definitely lose the next one to make things interesting, for the sake of entertainment, of course.

Here's what will happen: SNES lose the next two, Wings win the next two, Wings can get in with a win in their last game, and they absolutely lay an egg against a Florida team dressing team employees instead of Carter Verhaeghe.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Not so hot take: 3v3 and shootout merchants like the Flyers (and to some extent the Habs) are going nowhere in the playoffs.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

If you want to really vomit, LA has 20 regulation wins and is currently in a playoff spot

[sutterfamily]

Yeah, LA making the playoffs in the end would be barf

I agree about the Flyers, not so sure the Habs aren't actually good (don't get me wrong, I WANT to agree with you...)

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kings have Seattle, Vancouver, and Calgary in their last three games. They’re up a point on Nashville with a game in hand. They’re sadly going to make it, where they will be erased from the face of the earth by the Colorado Avalanche.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Would’ve been fun if San Jose could make it but they’re basically in Detroit’s shoes (four back, need the Kings to lose two and SJ to win out)

[nick]

Per Dom's Athletic model, the JERTS are at 13% to make the playoffs; the Kings at 76.

I'm agnostic about the JERTS making it (another first round romp at the hands of the Avs doesn't sound fun) but it should be illegal for the Kings to make the playoffs and not play of the Oilers

[Cacophony]

Should make a Sens thread
