Getting down to the wire

[GCK]

2 more back to backs with 3 in 4 both times. Playoffs are all but guaranteed.

I'm sure fans are all saying the same types of things I'm thinking, but I feel pretty good.

we currently sit in the first wild card.
nobody chasing us has any games in hand.
we have games in hand against Rangers (1) and Bruins (2).
11 of our remaining games are against teams behind us in the race
3 of those games are Blue Jackets.

Anything can happen of course, but it is completely in the teams' hands.

I'm looking at you Tampa!

The good news is that the Ottawa Senators control their destiny.

Josh Norris scores his first as a Sabre

Way to go kid! I'm happy for him. I hope he can get himself out of that City eventually

Detroit getting all the powerplays against Buffalo. I see how the NHL is keeping the wild card race tight now.

Buffalo come on. Do better

Sens are in a very favourable position, up by 5 points and with 11/18 remaining games at home (with the 8th easiest schedule to close out the season).

Just pray for no (major) injuries. The last slump happened when Norris and Pinto (and later Brady) got injured. We’re 8-0-1 in the last 9 games we’ve had our top 3 centres.

8-9-1 probably gets you in, but you obviously hope for some cushion. But with the time relatively healthy, we should be able to play above .500 level hockey.
