Around the League.

 

Before we get too hung up on the Capitals, lets take a minute to review what the hell is going on with the standings these days…

Eastern Conference

• The Devils have lost 5-straight games. As soon as I post about them…they start losing. Wonder what’ll happen to the Caps.
• Carolina’s been hot. 6 straight wins?! Look out.
• Florida is still in the hunt sitting in 9th place. They trail Montreal by 1 point, although the Habs have 1 game-in-hand.
• It would appear that Buffalo has succumb to the pressure, and has given up.  According to sportsclubstats.com the Sabres now have a 14.3% chance of making the playoffs.
• The Penguins are currently at 98.1% for anyone who’s still worrying. Philly, New Jersey, or Washington. These are the Penguins’ potential first round matchups. (barring catastrophe).

Western Conference

• Remember when St. Louis was last in the West? They’re currently in the 8 spot, and they’ve won 5 straight. Do yourself a favor while you’re at SportsClubStats, check out the St. Louis Blues page. For them, every game is paramount.
• Looks like the Blue Jackets are going to the Playoffs for the first time in franchise history. But they’re not in yet.
• San Jose has 50 wins. Fifty. 50. Ulysses S. Grant.
  • How much will those 50 wins mean when Thorton chokes in the 1st round?

Quick Stuff:

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting Pummeler. These guys are so creative, they wrote a hate-anthem for Sidney Crosby.

Now they’ve been jobbed already…So I’m going to leave that to those who are good at it.

ALITP Pt. 3 coming up…The Caps.
