Around the NHL: Part XLIX (Playoff Edition)

[Hire Sather]

Just need a point.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Meanwhile, Minnesota could clinch a play-off berth with a win tonight and they are down 6-0, at home against Edmonton haha

 

[Thunderhead]

Yes. Any win tomorrow clinches 7 at least.

What if we get only one point tomorrow ?

 

[Kreider Typical]

so... tomorrow is must-win/tie? or can we beat pitts?

Sucks for MIN but this means the door is open for CBJ i suppose.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

That also clinches seventh.

We hold the tiebreaker on the Isles AND Sens.

 

[Hire Sather]

I'd rather us only get 1. We hold tiebreakers with Ottawa too. Rangers W non SO + Ottawa going 1-1 and we move up to 6.

I think its a no brainer to get matched up with the slumping 2 seed than the 1 seed...

 

[Holocene]

Crosby can go **** himself, but he is the best player in the NHL today.

Pretty much.

Isles seem to have come back down to Earth.

 

[Thunderhead]

Thanks. So, one point it is.

 

[Kreider Typical]

pitts has lost 2 in a row

 

[Thunderhead]

It looks like the Debbies have something to play for tomorrow.

Not really. They're setting their tee times and we're off to the dance. No chance for them to play spoilers.

Honestly I hope they beat us in OT.

Yes this would be the best outcome for tomorrow if we're looking to avoid the Penguins and Capitals. I'm not as scared of the Capitals as I am the Penguins, I'm just so sick of seeing them.

Potter slashes Parise on a few different shifts and then the 4th line. Rupp goes after Potter with Konopka as well on the ice... Jones from Oilers jumps in.... things could get ugly in the Oilers 6 - Wild 1 game. Oilers first PP of the game 5 on 3.....with 5:34 to go in 3rd

Good for Rupper. Tough not to root for him in that scenario because you know he would have done the same thing here

yea.. its a shame it didnt work here for him.. he seem to aged really fast.. he was a good player for Devils and Penguins... i guess his style of play wore him down.

Can't believe Minny crapped the bed in front of the home fans tonight, at least they have another winnable game tomorrow, but wow tough going tonight. Thank goodness the Rangers avoided a possible elimination game with the win last night.

 

[JohnC]

So what does this mean for the CBJ/MIN situation?

 

[17futurecap]

So what does this mean for the CBJ/MIN situation?

All have 1 game left. 2 spots available.

Detroit 54 points 21 row
Minny 53 points 21 row
Jackets 53 points 18 row

For the Jackets to get in they have to get ahead of one of these teams, lose the tiebreaker with both.

Minny@Colorado
Detroit@Dallas
Nashville@Columbus

[The Lunatic Fridge]
