We had to lose that game. We have to lose the next game too.
It looks like the Capitals and Blues might only win one more game each; Vancouver will probably get 5 more points. So they'll finish:
Blues: 78 pts
Capitals: 79 pts
Canucks: 80 pts
We have 75 pts -- we can afford one more win and one loser point, in the final 7 games, and still get the 8th spot (Blues get 9th with the tiebreaker.)
If instead we win 3 of 7, we'll end up in the 11th spot. If Ottawa finishes pointless in their last 6, we'd be in the 12 spot -- just by winning 3 of 7. And we have games against Montreal and Buffalo.
