The Mess in the West

Bruins are upon the Oilers 2-1 after 1st period. And the Avs scored on Vegas 14 seconds into the game. Tonight I am both a Bruins fan and an Avs fan!

2-0 Avs now. I wonder about my sanity when I'm watching the Bruins game on TV and the Avs game on the PC (with crappy ESPN+ resolution).
 
The Avs are pushing hard, they are climbing their way to first place in the conference, they have played the least amount of game within the eight teams in playoff contention. Kings need to raise their game or they might find themselves in the last wildcard spot.
 
Magic number between Kings and Flames is now 30. That’s effectively their number to make the playoffs.

Although interestingly, Preds are only a point back on the Flames with 3 games in hand, and they’ve already sold big. Will be something if they finish over them. See what Treliving does today.
 
Watching Dallas vs Colorado, Dallas is big and strong. They hit everything.
 
Awesome to see EDM get lit up.

CAL losing again makes it a 5 game skid. What a miserable team right now. NSH just passed them and has 3 games in hand.

Speaking of, NSH has only played 60 games. It’s a long shot but they’re not technically out of it, and yet they sold big to recoup assets. CAL did not. Will be a very interesting summer for them.
 
Quick looking pretty good in his first period as a Golden Knight. Not tested too much but a couple nice saves. Their broadcast is talking about him like he’s a legend and a blue chip deadline acquisition, not like a washed up salary dump. So weird.
 
Looking great. One more period for a shut out. Some here thought he was washed up, too funny.

He is playing behind a better defense than the Kings against the 26th ranked Canadiens. Today's game is not proof that he is or is not washed up.

This post aged poorly.

I'm bummed that he's giving up all these 3rd period goals. I wanted Vegas to think Quick still had it when those of us who actually watch hockey know father time has taken his toll.
 
Turned into a pretty competitive game. Hoffman hits the metal with a minute left. Damn.
