dEv~ 19 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 No, the Rags have the game in hand AND the tiebreaker. Moot if the Pens just have more points, though.What do you mean by games in hand? They have both played 67 games. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Oops, my bad. Must have looked at standings before they updated last night. Well, that's better, anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 If those odds were real a couple of weeks ago and noone took my advice on betting against the Rags for conference title, you only have yourself to blame.I am a man that would say "I told you so" I told you sowooot. it's not a lot of money, but i bet on the Pens to win the division at 15/1 and 19/1 a few weeks back. Interestingly, when the Pens were 19/1 to win the division (regular season only), they were only 10/1 to win the conference (after the playoffs).They've got 4 points to make up, so they're definitely still 'dogs at this point, but probably more like 5/1, imo.

Zach6668 513 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Wow, Pens are gonna be stacked tonight for the first time in ages.Crosby, Letang, Malkin all returning to the lineup tonight.Plus, looks like Lundqvist is out again with the flu. Good situation for the Pens, as this is a must win if they want to win the East. Link to post Share on other sites

Hope the Pens take the right approach to this game, considering how tough the Rangers are at home. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Big time regulation win for the Pens.4 back of the Rangers, with a game in hand, and one more at home vs NYR.The Rangers hold the tie breaker at this point, however, because of more regulation/OT wins. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 They gave Sid another assist on the Pens last goal. I don't really understand how.He won the faceoff back to Letang. Letang moved it to Martin, who shot. Blocked right to Letang who shot it, and Dupuis banged home a rebound.The only scenario that works here is if Crosby tipped the Letang shot before it got to the net. That HAS to be what happened. Hard to tell from the replay on NHL.com, but he does put his stick out to tip it in the high slot, and it does explain why there was such an awful rebound on a relatively harmless shot.

The behind net replay during the game showed it. In Bylsma's post game interview, he said he did tip it and figured they would change the scoring on that goal. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 lol hockey assistsWell, to be completely honest, it's probably not a goal if he doesn't tip it. If it's just a straight, mediocre-strength wrister from the blue line with no net-front traffic, Biron probably doesn't even give up a rebound. Link to post Share on other sites
Untilted 158 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Part of me says it is no big deal because we lost without Callahan, Del Zotto and Lundqvist. The other part of me agrees with LLY. Aw crap Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Dominant effort today and Bylsma was able distribute the ice time pretty well. Hopefully that'll help Crosby (15:19) and Malkin (16:55) (no fwd was over 18) have plenty in the tank for tomorrow. Compare that to Giroux (27:15), Jagr (21:40), and Hartnell (23:23). I'd expect to see Bryz and MAF both play back to back games this weekend as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Rangers lost in regulation, so tomorrow is our chance to tie them. It's our game in hand, basically. We'll just need to beat them the next time we play them, and have the same record otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry I didn't give you credit but I did take it quite a bit further adding the flyers ice times. Link to post Share on other sites
