FYI, every time I see those "omg!!!! what on earth could the Roman Dodecahedron POSSIBLY be used for!!!!!" articles I just say "Knitting gloves, you buffoons," and move on. I feel like the indigenous people trying to tell the English where the Arctic shipwrecks are.
Though my conspiratorial side says they'll let Ottawa win tonight because they want to keep both series in the same time zone. 🤷
Blah, blah, past performance is not indicative of future blah blah. 😜 Plus, it's still possible they'll beat Ottawa tonight and resolve that issue for the season. I think they're both good arguments and at least half of why letting the leader pick their opponent is so much fun.
Was just talking with some friends and I think Toronto is picking not-Boston either way. Why play the most physical team in the league when they can let MTL and BOS relitigate Saturday and then take on a softened victor of that series?
That's not quite correct is it? They came into the international break on their longest winning streak.
That said, am I feeling _positive_ about they way they've been playing the last few weeks? ...
Nope. As long as Ottawa does NOT win in regulation, they are still in. OTT needs a 3 point regulation win to tie in points. OTW, OTL, or just a loss don't get them to tie up with Boston or MN.
Folks importing X posts to dunk on them here is one of my least favorite things. Let the shit stay in the sewer.
I stopped my interest in conspiracy theories when I realized they required a belief in a level of competency and attention that simply didn't exist.
