Speaking of interesting, guess which two teams are the only teams we've lost to in regulation in the month of March?














Arizona and Colorado.

Even the year we won the cup, I remember a game in Glendale where we lost something like 8-3. And I'm pretty certain that Coyotes team was a hell of a lot worse than this years team.

Not really. They still weren't anywhere near good though (#8 pick).

Looking at the remaining games and the point spread...I think we have a better chance of catching Toronto than Boston. We are only four behind Boston, but because of tie breakers, need five points, which is the same for Toronto as well. And Toronto's last four games are brutal...they could easily drop all four.

I... would very much like to Aho be the the rookie forward who takes his team into the playoffs. I could do with this.

Unless those 4 teams have already locked in their playoff/home ice positions and rest stars or play backup goalies. Let's hope not.

WSH, CBJ and PIT probably all fervently want to be primarily the team who doesn't have to meet one of the others on the first round, and secondarily the team who has the home ice advantage if they have to.

WSH 110 (49): @CBJ, @TOR, vs NYR, @BOS, vs FLA
CBJ 106 (47): vs WSH, @PIT, vs WPG, @PHI, @TOR
PIT 105 (43): vs CAR, vs CBJ, @NJD, @TOR, @NYR

Washington will have to take TOR seriously, and I'd guess the other two are fighting till the end.

How do we only have 1 game left against any of the teams that matter for our playoff chances?!

And the one deal is becoming irrelevant pretty quickly.

We have 6 relevant games left.

We have 6 relevant games left.

Amazingly yes

I was commenting on Chucks post. That the Isles are quickly falling out of the playoff race so we don't really have any matchups left that are against teams fighting for spot #8.

They are tied with us atm but we have a GIH over them. Glad we passed them but need to keep winning for it to matter.
