Are Calgary and/or Columbus going to make the playoffs?

[Bjornar Moxnes]

WC2 in both conferences are interesting right now. While Montreal, Minnesota, and St. Louis do still have favourable odds, their lead over the final team sitting outside the playoffs is getting slimmer. Do you think Calgary and/or Columbus makes the dance, or nah?

 

[Boud]

Calgary has two chances really because both teams in front of them haven’t locked and if either St-Louis or Minny lose their next game then Flames have their future in their own hands.

For CBJ they need to win 2 games and Montreal needs to lose 2. I don’t see Montreal losing 2 games here. They play Chicago next game and then Carolina. They’ll win one of those I imagine.

In the end I don’t think any of them make it. St-Louis, Minny and Montreal will make it.

There isn't a chance in hell the Ducks are beating Minnesota. Half the roster is already mentally in Cancun.

Flames will also probably lose one of the two games left. Can't see Vegas and LA laying down.

Canucks really could have helped holding onto that 2-0 lead vs minny, that was likely the season for the flames.

 

[Dirtyclapper]

I voted yes for Calgary. Yes they're playing Vegas/LA but both teams will be resting guys, I think they somehow pull it off

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...too steep a hill for Columbus & Calgary at this point, imo...

I don't think anyone expects any team to lay down, but I do think the rosters may not be as strong as usual.

Vegas has 2 games left and it's a B2B, they're probably going to rest some guys against Calgary and others against Vancouver. My gut says they rest more vs Calgary since Vancouver is their final game and it's always nice to go out with a win and since the playoffs won't start for Vegas until the 19th or 20th, I think it makes sense to have more regulars playing the 16th, including their starting goalie.

LA just needs 2 points to lock up home ice in round 1, and if they don't beat Edmonton on Monday, I can see them wanting to wrap it up when they play Seattle on Tuesday.

I mean I can see us laying down. It's very much a thing we do.

 

[Schennanigans]

Too little too late for Columbus. Calgary still has a decent shot. I think both aren’t going in.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

Anaheim just lost to the Colorado Eagles so there’s that with their game against Minny coming up.

 

[Seb]

I am a Habs fans so naturally I voted for both out.

I could see the Flames winning two, theirs session are on the line and these two team will be in preservation mode.

But you are right, the ducks are already on the grill half roasted.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

No. But it'd be a lot cooler if they did.

 

[banks]

I'd be thrilled if Columbus overtook the Habs for that last spot. But that's highly unlikely. I voted none.

I'd love to be wrong. The Bluejacket's season has been a great storyline this season. So much to cheer for.

If we cant beat Chicago at home to clinch playoffs we dont deserve playoffs

That’s a bit extreme now, isn’t it?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

no

 

[BonMorrison]

It would be hilarious and awesome if they both made it but there ain't no way Habs are losing against Chicago and Flames are beating both LA and Vegas.

 

[MessierII]

Calgary is more likely than the jackets but realistically it’s a long shot for either.

 

[ViD]

If Bedard plays his best game of the season, Columbus is still alive

Go Hawks Go

 

[MiscBrah]

I'm enjoying seeing MTL fans sweat a little bit after they've been acting like they're in the playoffs for weeks now, but I think MTL gets it over the line tonight and CBUS falls just short.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Pulling for Columbus

 

[DJJones]

I'm very confident we can win our last two games. Vegas should be checked out and Kings win one more and they should have home locked up as well.

Needing a Blues or Wild loss is the hard part. Wild in particular has been crazy to watch last couple weeks. Keep thinking they're about to crater and pull out a win. Thinking of putting a decent sized parley bet on them both to win.

 

[shaner8989]

If montreal blows it tonight, then its wide open for Clb who has 2 very winnable games against Phily and NYI

 

[Z-Diddy]

VGK prob sit some starters to rest up, LAK are liking going to be trying for home ice, so its a tough sled for the Flames...

MTL should beat CHI at home to clinch, crazier things have happened...
