If Bill Simmons gave a crap about the B's he'd have written a "33 reasons Pastrnak isn't going to get 50 in 50" and the ice would be betweeen 4 and 7 of those reasons.How have they not figured out how to fix the ice yet?
Not a lot of 3 on 3 situations in the playoffs.Is there any doubt how this season ends?
Indeed.Loser points are great but it would be nice to stop blowing leads to not good teams.
Sometime between mid April and the end of June?Is there any doubt how this season ends?
That would be when it ends. My comment was how, which was admittedly a lazy comment on how annoying these OTs have become. But I’m a casual hockey fan and not a diehard like you guys so I’ll bow out.Sometime between mid April and the end of June?
Unless there are a bunch of OT penalties, it wont end with 3 on 3 play.That would be when it ends. My comment was how, which was admittedly a lazy comment on how annoying these OTs have become. But I’m a casual hockey fan and not a diehard like you guys so I’ll bow out.
They're extremely annoying, no argument there. Thankfully they've banked enough points and 3 on 3/shootout doesn't apply to the playoffs.That would be when it ends.

Most OTL in a season (since shootout was introduced in 2005-06) |
2008-09 Lightning - 18 |
2011-12 Panthers - 18 |
2013-14 Devils - 18 |
2014-15 Flyers - 18 |
Definitely. Such a good team with an annoying, if not weird flaw. Do you see an impact RW trade happening this year? Feels like similar issues to last year based on the games I've seen.They're extremely annoying, no argument there.

That said - at some point later in the season they are going to regret pissing away a lot of these points. I don't think winning the division is a sure thing anymore like it was 3-4 weeks ago.
