SabresRule7361 553 Posted April 12, 2015 87 points in 1992-93 wouldn't have even put you in the top 30 when it comes to scoring. 87 points in 1995-96 would have put you in 23rd. 87 points in 1981-82 would have gotten you a 30th place finish. That said, at least the scoring race was dramatic. Benn had 7 points in 2 games (And Tavares, to be fair, scored in the last 2 games). And he did this without Seguin tonight. Hell, unlike 2003-04, at least we got a 50-goal scorer. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HedleyLamarr 1,393 Posted April 12, 2015 Two teams finished out of the playoffs with 95 points this season, that's mental. (Of course, it's all thanks to tanking)Just to put that in perspective, in 1988-89, the Washington Capitals finished 3rd in the entire NHL with 92 points.The days of sub .500 playoff teams are long gone. In 1996, the 4-5 matchup (Leafs/Blues) had TWO teams with losing records.It's not quite a fair comparison since the inception of a third point for overtime games. A bunch of bonus points got handed out that didn't exist then.While it's sad that a fully-played season didn't produce a 90-point player this season, I don't have a problem with that as long as the scoring is spread out throughout the entirety of the roster and scoring went up as a whole. Even if goals are up, the league should into tinkering with the size of the nets and restricting some defensive tactics. The size of the ice and the size of the net have stayed the same, but the players have gotten bigger as well as the size of goalie equipment.Increase the size of the net to 4.5' by 6.5' and penalize leaving your skates to dive on the ice to block a shot/pass...and you'll see a better offensive output. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigBubba 788 Posted April 12, 2015 - Thank GOD the Leafs season is over. Hopefully we'll get some good news next Saturday...- I kinda feel bad for Crosby, since this is what, the third or fourth Art Ross he's missed out on because of injury?- I think the only people who give a damn about Canada's Cup drought are Americans. I don't give a flying s--t how well the other Canadian teams do, especially Montréal and Ottawa- Boston's out. Yay.- I'll be rooting for the Blues to make the final, so the Leafs' conditional pick from the Jokinen trade turns into a 4th. But I hope they lose there - our droughts are gonna turn 48 together 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still MIGHTY 3,834 Posted April 12, 2015 So Larry Brooks of the New York Post reported that the Kings locked Sutter out of the dressing room after a recent road defeat (gee, I wonder which one) and when Sutter got an arena attendant to open the door, trash cans were blocking the entrance. It's Larry Brooks, so it could be a whole lot of smoke, but who knows.Also, Robyn Regher retires, which means including the on-trial Slava Voynov, the Kings have 6 defensemen under contract going into next season. And Justin Williams, Jarret Stoll, and Tyler Toffoli are going to be free agents.It'd be kind of funny if missing the playoffs just this one time made the house of cards fall down.---Also: CCSLC Bracket Challenge?

the admiral 28,764 Posted April 12, 2015 Kings Twitter Guy and Stars Jumbotron Guy can both go spend the summer fondling each other's balls (which must be enormous if they're chirping teams that actually made the playoffs and didn't finish with one of the highest goals-against totals in the league). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coast2CoastAM2006 394 Posted April 12, 2015 I'll be watching the Islanders until they get eliminated. Then if the Canadiens are in play, I'll be watching them. Possibly the Canucks if i'm in the mood. After either is eliminated, hockey is switched off until the training camp. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
