All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I know we're looking up at the Caps but Ottawa isn't safe
I know we're looking up at the Caps but Ottawa isn't safe
Ottawa is not playing that well & lost 3-1 to Toronto Saturday night. They play the Devils / Habs / Pens the next 3, I see one if not 2 losses there. Then they play at the Jets / Flyers, so I can see them losing both of those. Ottawa also has 10 OT / SO losses, so we match them in a tie as well.
There's good chance we catch them, as long as we play well & win most games.
Re: I know we're looking up at the Caps but Ottawa isn't safe
I agree, I do not believe Ottawa is a lock to be in, I can see them trying to play for one point many nights to try and stay in the top 8, and that does not always work.

6 points with 11 games left? not happening.
Check Ottawa's schedule, I think they have 5-6 regulation losses staring at them myself. That would give them 90-92 points, so that's not out of the realm of possibility.
I also think that they have a chance of a total collapse, which would bode well on my theory. Let's revisit in a week or so.

for us to get to 92 we'd have to win 6 of the last 11. And even if we pull that off, it means Ottawa would have to drop 6 of their last 11.
Forget about catching them- just catch the Caps and stay ahead of Winnipeg.

agreed, anything can happen. there can be outlier events. ottawa can collapse.
I don't think they will.
Do you feel good about their chances tonight against the Pens after losing to Toronto 3-1 Saturday night ? Toronto just got torn apart yesterday, so to say they're playing good hockey is a farce. I just see Ottawa trying to hold on, which I think will be their downfall.
Re: I know we're looking up at the Caps but Ottawa isn't safe
i don't think they are playing well either. i'm just saying to hvae a team epicly collapse for 11 games is tough. i know the sabres lost 12 straight, but remember how outrageously frustrating that is?
the "easy way in" is winning our games that we should win, stay close against the good competitors and get a touch of help from winnipeg and washington.
the hard way is to not worry about how we do and hope teams start killing themselves.
i didn't look at the caps/jets schedule. if either team plays ottawa, then that makes it that much more difficult.
would i love it if ottawa didn't get into the playoffs adn we got the slot, yes,
but i think it's a tough thing to bank on.

and even if Ottawa does completely tank, we still have to stay ahead of the Jets and/or Caps. It's possible for Ottawa to tank and us to still be out if the Jets and Caps take the last two spots.

We've played well against Montreal this season, so I see us taking care of business tonight.
