If the standings remain like they are now, the Leafs have a shot at the Eastern final if they can get past TB. Boston would get the Rangers in RD2 Leafs get Carolina.

I’m pretty sure they don’t reseed until the conference finals. Your in your division “pod” no matter what the first two rounds.

I know the rules are weird, but theyd have to reseed if a WC team wins. Or is it only if the two WC are from the same division.

Oh my God Calgary come on.
Wherever the Wildcard team ends up they’re in that Divisional bracket regardless of seeding or if it’s not their division. As it stands now the Isles should they beat Boston in this hypothetical would face the winner of Leafs-Lightning.
Like take last season in the Western Conference. The four second round teams were Colorado (119 pts) and St. Louis (109 pts) in the Central, and in the Pacific it was Calgary (111 pts) and Edmonton (104 pts). If it re-seeded in round 2 Colorado would've gotten Edmonton and Calgary would've played St. Louis.
Or better yet, in 2017 when the WC Rangers beat the Atlantic winners in Montreal, re-seeding should've seen them go back to the Metro bracket to play Washington, and Pittsburgh would've hosted Ottawa given the Pens had more points. Instead the Rangers stayed in the Atlantic to play Ottawa, with Ottawa as the higher seed and hosting Games 1 and 2, despite the Sens having fewer points, they ranked higher in the Division.

they have no urgency in their game; playing like they are already out of playoffs

I think Flames with better goaltending are comfortably in a playoff spot. I know a few of their stars are producing well but their goaltending has been atrocious.

Lmao Flames. They've lost a ton of games to bottom feeders this year. Jets can put them out of their misery tomorrow night
And what's up with the Kings and Oilers game? 3-2 shots after the first period

Maybe, but their highest paid forwards have been pretty trash. Even if they're in the playoffs with better goaltending, they'd still be a lot worse than LA, EDM, and VGK. Just doesn't seem like their stars and Sutter are on the same page.

5 shots total, both teams in a period? That’s crazy. I can’t seem to find if there are records anywhere for such a thing, but that’s got to be close.
… and Calgary puts up 34 shots, Mrazek saves 31.
Chicago puts up 23, Markstrom only saves 19. 0.826 Save percentage.
Calgary are a decent team, and Markstrom historically a very good goalie… but this year, he’s been their main problem.

Is it too late to tank? 
With that win tonight, Hawks go from 32nd to 30th.

That’s right. Creating rivalries left, right, and centre.
With the stakes so high, how could Nazem Kadri’s engine run so low last night?
Disengaged as part of a season-long adjustment to his new coach, his two egregious giveaways led to a loss to Chicago the Flames are unlikely to recover from.
My take:
Eric Francis

They wouldn't be the first team playing to get the Coach fired.
Players are probably looking at it as short term pain for long term gain.
