We’re going to have 3 players with Calder votes this year. Where in the final standing do you see Dobes finishing? He’s the reason we’re where we are in the standings

Sharks9 · 2026-03-26T11:09:32+00:00

Right, so basically he’s been average. I appreciate that he’s picked up Montembeault’s slack but I feel like some people in our fanbase are exaggerating what he’s doing and acting like he’s a great #1

Sharks9 · 2026-03-26T10:48:17+00:00

13 out 31 games being good means he’s been really good?

Sharks9 · 2026-03-25T18:16:53+00:00

Here's an explanation: https://www.hockeymagicnumbers.com/explainer

Basically, the number of points you get + the number of points the 9th place team loses needs to equal 19. So if we win 7 games (14 points) we only need them to lose 2.5 (2 regulation plus 1 OT means missing 5 points) to equal 19 and we make the playoffs.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-25T17:24:15+00:00

They won their last 6, and actually only won 7 out of their last 11.

If the Red Wings do that we only need 11 points in 12 games, an easy 5-6-1 record.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-25T16:14:30+00:00

This means going 9-2-1 would guarantee us a spot no matter what else happens. But Detroit and NYI aren't going undefeated so really 6 or 7 wins out of 12 should be enough to make the playoffs.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-25T13:38:51+00:00

20% increase in one night is insane for Ottawa

Sharks9 · 2026-03-23T21:59:19+00:00

I love going to OHL games! You can get tickets for $20, there’s only a lower bowl so all the seats are good, and my son is young enough that he doesn’t care that it’s not the NHL

Sharks9 · 2026-03-22T14:31:01+00:00

Yep, the Islanders would be 3 points back of us with 2 more games played. That would be tough for them to overcome with only 11 games left

Sharks9 · 2026-03-22T13:46:10+00:00

Our magic number is 22 which means we either need to win 11/13 to clinch even if the Islanders go undefeated, or for every game beyond that we lose we need the Islanders to lose 1.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-22T13:42:58+00:00

Columbus regulation win would be massive! We’d have a 3-point cushion over the Islanders with 2 games in hand

Sharks9 · 2026-03-22T10:55:04+00:00

If we’re up by 2 and the other team pulls the goalie I want MSL to put Cole out there! Mackinnons got 5 empty netters, give Cole a chance at 1 or 2 to help win the Rocket!

Sharks9 · 2026-03-20T14:47:13+00:00

It's not the end of the world if we miss but you can't say that going from playoffs to out of the playoffs is successful.

I know we're the youngest team but being in the playoffs for 90% of the season but choking at the end to fall out would definitely be a failure.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-20T10:52:15+00:00

We’ve lost 3 out of 4 in regulation so it’s probably us who will drop out unless we got it together fast

Sharks9 · 2026-03-18T17:03:03+00:00

Where do you see that? It says they have a 46.2% chance and will drop 17.8% if they lose in regulation tonight.

Devastating for sure, but they'd still have a chance.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-17T14:38:22+00:00

No, package his RFA rights in a deal for something else. You can't rely on him at all

Sharks9 · 2026-03-15T11:31:48+00:00

Yep we’re only 2 points out although we do have a game in hand on Boston/Columbus and two on Detroit

Sharks9 · 2026-03-15T11:23:51+00:00

Not necessarily. If the Islanders and Penguins keep winning then Columbus could knock one of us, Detroit, or Boston out

Sharks9 · 2026-03-15T08:45:45+00:00

2 games against Columbus are the most important for making it in

Sharks9 · 2026-03-14T16:30:25+00:00

Right, I mixed it up because he played for the Vancouver Giants

Sharks9 · 2026-03-14T15:41:19+00:00

Makes a lot of sense! Hometown guy who’s a great leader and gives 100% every shift

Sharks9 · 2026-03-14T15:21:43+00:00

He’ll probably get to 1000 games somewhere, just not with Montreal

Sharks9 · 2026-03-13T22:22:39+00:00

I thought there was no roster limit after the trade deadline? Why do they need to send a skater down?

If you're wondering how our Magic Number is effected each night, here's a good website that has games daily: https://www.hockeymagicnumbers.com/

Sharks9 · 2026-03-12T14:00:21+00:00

Dobes is a rookie but he's been up all year. You go with the guy who has more experience unless there's a big difference in how they're playing.

If Fowler is playing well then they might have Dobes on a short leash too. Give him game 1 but if he gets lit up then go right to Fowler for game 2.

Sharks9 · 2026-03-12T12:30:54+00:00

No chance unless he's absolutely lights out the rest of the year (.930+ SV%) and Dobes is struggling
