5 straight losses for the Sens and without Tkachuk.

Rangers without Fox.

Boston without Macavoy.

24 games left for Detroit with 66 points. I think they need at minimum 26 more points to make it. And with the way they’re playing I think they can.
That will be the key, the entire team needs to keep playing f____g hockey and they have an excellent chance at getting in this year.
 
The Hockey Gods looked down on us with a toothless grin tonight; Rangers outshot the Leafs 35-17 and yet lost 3-2 in regulation.
A lot of posts hit by both teams, but yeah, the Rags showed up for the home crowd, they are not going to go out on an whimper...the wings just need to keep banking points...a good start would be 2 in the horseshoe tomorrow...
 
Cant help but be a bit uneasy about the the annual spring skid. got a gut feeling it's coming soon.
Yeah, they will not be able to play lights out all the way, but if you set an internal target of 95 points will get you in, the wings need 29 points in the next 23 games to close out the season. That is a 0.630 P%, the amount the any of the chasers (let's assume BJs are same as wings) will be crazy to make up those points.

The Sens would have to be 0.688 (24 games left) and the Rags 0.717 (23 games left) in P% to catch one of the wings or BJs

A more realistic target unless some teams get real hot , will likely be 92 or 93 points for WC2 (possibly less) this year, so for 92 points, the wings need 26 points in the 23 games or 0.565 P%, which is close to the season avg.

So long as the wings have no prolonged losing streaks (may they be blessed with many loser points on loses) they should be in the race until the end, but on paper, they have an absolutely terrible schedule in March, then it might actually be worse in April.

Their resiliency will be well tested by the end of the season, if they make it to the dance, they will have earned it.
