You're not winning every game regardless. I'd much rather start Ullmark 80% of the remaining games and take those odds.
And come playoff time.. it's like that saying about QBs... if you think you have two starters you really have none.

Are they going to have a special exhibition for this as Boston is slowly slipping out of a spot and a loss against the canes tonight might seal their fate.
Right now Bruins are 3 points out and teams have 2 games in hand and there are 3 teams they are chasing as well.
Habs are sitting better but are still outside looking in after a 5 game win streak and they will have a valley to their recent peak so......
Teams just need to keep winning and some will start to lag behind even with a single loss like if Detroit and Columbus win tonight and the Habs and Bruins lose the hill just gets stepper with less games to do it in.
Bettman math is usually a suckers game.
They are actually with 5 points up and RW win advantage over most teams barring a complete collapse.
And if Detroit and Columbus both lose and the Habs win the hill will have been taken over. No matter what team squeaks in i don't see them going past the 1st rd.
Sure the bigger hill is for Boston though, they are in must win territory
I tend to agree with that but every year there seems to be an upset or 2 so who knows.
Well that is unless one of them faces the Leafs. Than all bets are off.
Detroit is out of the race
Every year in March they absolutely collapse
Loser mentality is everywhere in this organization

Well nobody really wants it. I guess the Islanders can have it.

The Devils aren't making it. Someone will get their spot, I assume NYR gets Metro 3 and CBJ/OTT make it.
well with them squandering a 2-0 dominating lead last night and watching the Sens beat NYR in a 3 point game they have to be down in Detroit,
I think it's time for
Also Evason is a great coach. If Sens don't make it, CBJ are who I'm cheering for.
Sens fan here. I remember watching the CBJ/TBL playoff series where CBJ swept the TBL thanks to Bob. What a series that was. That was when I started paying attention to that franchise, + they're very likeable.
Pitt needs to go 11-2 minimum to have a chance, would be a cool story though
Is Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield the hottest line in hockey right now? I think Montreal getting in as WC2 would set up a pretty good matchup. I can still remember 15 years ago when the Habs upset a #1 Washington team, and turned Montreal into an absolute street party.
