[GDT] Week 21

[Bruyns]

Last week of the season

Last week's games of the week
BOS - TBL 11.5-4.5 TBL W
BOS - FLA 12-4 FLA W
BUF - TOR 8.5-7.5 TOR W

Games of the week

BUF - TOR
FLA - MTL
MIN - NSH

Atlantic is still the division to watch, The president's trophy is still up for grabs BUF gained some ground with 7 more wins than TOR last week, but TOR still has the edge at 784-344-120 to 773-357-118. With TOR having the easier schedule this week they are odds on favourite to finish #1. BOS is looking like they will be the team stuck on the outside of the playoffs even though they deserve a spot. They have a soft schedule other than WAS with OTT, CHI and DAL so a huge week could save his season but he likely needs 4 blowouts and another atlantic team to struggle.

Only other division with some drama is the central where the gap is quite a bit bigger between MIN/NSH then BUF/TOR but with a big week Mik could still make it interesting. My money is on MIN though as they have CAR and ARI on the schedule. There is also still a battle for 2nd with WPG /STL who unfortunately don't face off this week and are only separated by 18 points. LAK could also still finish 1st in the West with a strong week.

Potential playoff matchups

LAK/MIN - COL
LAK/MIN - STL/WPG
CGY - VAN
NAS - STL/WPG

BUF/TOR - MTL/TBL/FLA
WAS - MTL/TBL/FLA
PHI - NYI
MTL/TBL/FLA - MTL/TBL/FLA

Whatever

[kyuss]

I get the Islanders again?

[Nick]

Crossing over would be sweet.

[Bruyns]

I'd like to avoid FLA in the first round, I don't match up well against him.

[dave1959]

Matt, you have Car-Dal entered twice in Fantrax

one should be Car-Clb.

thanks

[Handsome&FairMike]

Excited to see where my picks end up. Rangers have been playing better last few weeks

[kyuss]

not yet halfway though the matchup and my team has 26 points (second team with most pts has 15) with 2W, 1SO, 0.50GAA & .986SV%... I guess it peaked a couple of weeks too early

Once I get caught up with all the trades from this week...I'll have to get lottery odds posted.

Won't truly know till the lotto draw, long wait for us rebuilders and LV

[Shoalzie]

Vegas will get the 3rd best odds in the lottery and will get the 3rd pick in every other round...Cliff gets bumped to 4th in the order even though he'll finished 3rd to last.

[lightupdadarkness]

yeah I know but can still move around like the rest of the lotto teams is more what I was referring to

[Shoalzie]

Yes, you are right.

Fun toy for the lottery teams...

I guess the Arizona pick and the Vegas pick receives the same odds of winning the lottery but I read that Vegas' pick is slotted 3rd in the other round.

[koomzzz]

Yeah Vegas has same odds as #3 for lotto. So they are equal odds. Numbers will change from last year obviously. Then 3rd pick in each round

[Bruyns]

Looks like hits and FOW are being updated in real time now instead of at the end of the game.

watching TBAY and MTL closely.

Wish I had added JJ, White, & Lee for this week; woulda made a difference versus BUF & TOR.
