notfondajane Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Sunday is an afternoon game against the Flyers! They have an excellent chance of sweeping the Pens! If this happens, imo, kiss me playoffs good bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbulb Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Shhhhh! We're tanking! It looked like Pouliot really thinks you are tanking.... He looked TERRIBLE today. During the highlights, #51 looked either responsible or just standing still during most of CBJ's goals. Looks like he needs some more seasoning in the AHL. Is he up just b/c of injuries??

notfondajane Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 The non playoff team with the best record still draft number one in this years draft? I believe there were changes in the draft just not sure what they are if there is any changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there were changes in the draft just not sure what they are if there is any changes! No the draft for this year is a lottery system with weighted balls depending on standings. Team with worse record gets the most weight.Next year there will be 3 lottery picks for the top 3 teams again with the weighted balls depending on finish. Here is the current draft order with the odds of winning the lottery...... Buffalo Sabres 20.0%Arizona Coyotes 13.5%Edmonton Oilers 11.5%Toronto Maple Leafs 9.5%Carolina Hurricanes 8.5%New Jersey Devils 7.5%Philadelphia Flyers 6.5%Columbus Blue Jackets 6.0%Colorado Avalanche 5.0%Dallas Stars 3.5%Florida Panthers 3.0%San Jose Sharks 2.5%Winnipeg Jets 2.0%Ottawa Senators 1.0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he up just b/c of injuries??He would be either the bottom pair or press box meat if Letang and Ehrhoff were back. I said this in another thread somewhere, he will be good, but he tries to do too much at this point, and today he got burned at least once on Foligno's second goal. Trying to skate through the forecheck with no help behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's showing great promise though for his age, so you have to give him room and that means mistakes will be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm sure we'll be dealing with the same next year as Morin/Sanheim/Ghostibehere get some NHL experience. It's just hard to take it at this time of year with so much on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Anytime you have "generational talent" and the Pens in the lottery.....well, let's just say the whole scenario makes me a bit squeamish. I'd rather they made the playoffs then be able to execute their 1 or 2% chance....I don't like the rest of the leagues odds there....what Uncle Gary wants, Uncle Gary gets..... :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
