No Stamkos and no Stralman. At the very least those guys both miss round 1. I'll tell you...7th place might be the best place to finish. No Caps and no Pens until the ECF. Still think the Isles are the team to finish there, but I guess the Flyers could still pass them...especially with the last game at the Isles. If the Flyers win at the Pens tomorrow evening they could get up to 7th I think. If they lose I would bet the Isles hold onto that spot.
Stamkos could be out until summer. Even if they made Finals again he might not play this year. Strahlman isn't coming back this season either he broke his leg Would love TB
Get to that Atlantic bracket...LOL. Right now the Pens and Caps are the best teams in the East...both Met. Crazy as it sounds...I am rooting for the Pens tomorrow night against the Flyers. 2nd is gone for us, so let's bury the Flyers down to 8th. Then we go from there.
Rangers will have no chance vs Caps & Pens with the way they are playing now.......I have no confidence with this team, with the coaches..... this team all of a sudden forgot how to play defense...... it's not AV's stronghold. It is why his past head coaching gigs have been flops. Sometimes I get the feeling management is content just making the playoffs.......the Cup is not the goal! Because they sure as hell cannot put the right team on the ice.
