Who to root for 2k12 edition

Recommended Posts

It seems like the last 3 years have come down to a creation of this type of thread.

I still hold out hope for a playoff run (especially after how they played against the Caps).

So for 2/22 there is only really one relevant game and that is Senators/Caps.

Ottawa is 13 pts ahead of us and holds the season series at 2-1...so basically non-catchable.

We own a 2-1 advantage over Washington and trail by 6 so root for the Sens tonight :)

I don't think Boston can catch the NYR for 1st overall, but I am still rooting for the Bruins to beat the Blues tonight because I would love to play the Bruins in the first round.

Tonight February 23rd, we could use the following...

San Jose Sharks win over the Toronto Maple Leafs

Minnesota Wild win over the Florida Panthers

Tampa Bay Lightning win over the Winnipeg Jets

AND of Course

Carolina Hurricanes win over the Anaheim Ducks

If all of the following happens tonight, the Hurricanes will stand 6 points out of 8th place in the conference and 6 points out of the division lead which would give them 3rd place in the conference.

Minnesota beats Florida 3-2 in SO.

The Jets are in cruise control vs. the Panthers and have that game in hand.

After the games tonight.

Winnipeg takes control of the Southeast division and Florida moves down to 8th knocking Toronto out of the playoffs at the moment.

The Canes did pick up a point and have jumped Montreal in the standings even though they have the same number of points.

February 24th Edition

Montreal Canadians @ Washington Capitals (No matter what the outcome is, the Canes get help. Canadians Win Pros: they keep Washington really close to us in the Southeast Division Standings. Canadian Win Cons: Montreal would knock us back down to last place in the Eastern Conference. Capitals Win Pros: We would remain above the Canadians in the standings. Capitals Win Cons: The Capitals would create a little more distance between them and us in the Southeast Division. Either way, we will get some sort of help.)

Boston Bruins @ Buffalo Sabres (We're rooting for Boston in this one. With a Boston win, they get closer to the number one seed which would set up a favorable match up between them and us if we are able to get the eighth seed and with a Boston win they keep Buffalo only one point ahead of us in the Eastern Conference Standings.)

Edit: I was trying to get this done as fast as I could this morning and left out a game.

We could use a New York Rangers win over the New York Islanders

That's all for tonight!!!

    • Just admit that you don’t follow all the draft discussions on here. If draft results were so random, how come some teams tend to be perennial losers like us and some teams are perennial winners and it all starts with the draft? It’s almost comical these type of stupid responses. Oh, why aren’t you the GM? Gee I wonder since I work in a completely different field. How about you give us some examples of where the huddle consensus drafting was worse than our drafting from 2018 to 2025? I know I’ve given a ton of examples and you just shoot this generic poo of oh you couldn’t possibly done better as an armchair GM. Why don’t you dispute any of my examples? Let’s go to Brooks. I wanted Frazier at C because I still feel like that’s a hole. Other Huddlers mentioned DeJean at CB. Here’s why many of us didn’t want Brooks because 1) he might not play due to tearing his ACL late in the college season, 2) any scout/GM worth their salt would know that the 2025 RB draft class was loaded and 3) trading up multiple picks knowing 1 and 2 seems silly. Heck, after the draft, pretty clear that day 3 was where the RB value was. The huddle was right on Brooks and at most, we’ll get 2 years of Brooks while Hubbard is still under contract. If you know so much about the underlying machinations of the draft, you should be able to dispute the actual examples and how the huddle’s picks were just plain lucky and how Dan, Scott and Marty’s picks were just unlucky. Pulling the why aren’t you an NFL GM is a much repeated response when an actual reasoned response isn’t possible. Our drafting hasn’t been unlucky the past 7 drafts, it’s just been bad with lost of idiotic moves that were far worse than the huddle consensus.
    • I got y’all https://static01.nyt.com/athletic/uploads/wp/2025/04/09073220/2025-Beast-v02.pdf Th3!Be@$T!#2025
    • 100%!! Last year we focused completely on offense, and it made leaps, especially when Bryce settled in for the 2nd half of the season. We kept all those players and improved our RB stable this free agency! This year we focused almost entirely on D, specifically our run D. I expect it to jump to at least average, which would be awesome considering they are starting at dead frikin last. Our draft class from last year, however, doesn't exactly make me tingle. I know, I know..."traded away our first round pick, give them time to develop", but still. The 1 gem was Coker, a UDFA who I really like, but he ain't exactly Randy Moss. We have to do better! We can't afford to only build via Free agency.
