southsider2k5 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Really that is crappiest of all for St Louis. They have the third best record in all of hockey, and get the Blackhawks as a reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the third best record in all of hockey, and get the Blackhawks as a reward. This about this: if St. Louis had won on Saturday, they would have been tied for the second best record in hockey and would still get the Blackhawks. That's so bad for the later rounds of the playoffs. The whole point of seeding is to favor the better record teams.

RockRaines Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The change to playing your own division first is dumb and needs to be looked at again. The central is head and shoulders better than everyone in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You complain about Panik yet see no issue with Brandon freaking Mashinter on the 3rd line? Mashinter better not see a minute of playoff ice unless injuries hit the fan. Panik has earned playing time.

SoxAce Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Mashinter is actually playing tonight.. this is almost as bad as last year when Q benched Teravainen and Vermette for "fresh legs" bad. I'm not the type to doubt a coach whose won 3 in 6, but even I am baffled by this decision. It's not like Mashinter is some tough enforcer either.

It's not the playoffs without Q making a decision that 99% of the fanbase doesn't agree it. And often times the fanbase is right, yet it keeps working out.
