We could pass the Bruins for a playoff spot if we win our games in hand.

And we're also only four points out of a top 5 pick.

This is crazy.

There's a world where we're in the mix for most of the year and still somehow end up with a top 5 pick by getting a 5-7 game losing streak to end the year. So we technically could be in the mix AND tank lmfao.

It’s not what I’d want but it’s also not a terrible scenario either.

It’d just be so much better to bump Boston from the playoffs and beat the Leafs in the first round. What a year that’d be considering we didn’t even expect the playoffs to happen at all.

No game of significance in terms of the standings tonight.

Only game that is related to MTL is CGY vs. LAK. A CGY regulation loss is what we want. They're currently sitting outside a playoff spot, but they're tied at 45 pts with VAN and the 2WC spot. VAN is ahead because they have a game in hand.

What we want is for CGY to miss the playoffs, but not be in the Top-10 because then we get FLA's 1st.

That whole thing is too complicated for me to worry about. As far as I’m concerned you get what you get and you don’t get upset…
