Making it is the goal. It's not easy qualifying for the playoffs in general. I think they can have a nice showing against the caps, at the very least.It would be cool if they make it but not expecting much if they do.

I feel the same about the Canes, actually. If we can go through WSH, I think we could do the same against CAR. Their goaltending is crap.Caps are a paper tiger, we could surprise them.. that's about as far as it could possibly go.
Even if we don't make it, I'm encouraged about a lot of things this year.. add Demidov to the 2nd line and figure out a permanent 2C solution and we should be laughing.
There is so much parity in the league now that it doesn't take much to make the playoffs or not. It's contingent of not having made poor decisions from the top down and not being plagued by key injuries. There are few teams that you can pencil in at the start of the season that will be in and many more scrambling to try to make it while some are readjusting their approach. IF Montreal does make it,you just never know how it will turn out even if it looks bleak from the onset. A goalie could get hot or suck and key players could get hurt and that's what makes it exciting.Making it is the goal. It's not easy qualifying for the playoffs in general.

I don't really agree that it doesn't take much to make the playoffs, in the east at least. the past 3 years, the exact same 4 teams made the playoffs out of the Atlantic. In the Metro, it has been 6 teams fighting for 4 spots. There has been a clear divide. PIT and BOS are finally falling off, and it has been quite a battle this year for teams trying to replace them. Getting in is an accomplishment.There is so much parity in the league now that it doesn't take much to make the playoffs or not.

Moneypuck playoffs odds are based on advanced stats and I don't think they pay much attention to the wildcard race either.Seeing NYR at 53.6% on moneypuck.com
But on playoffstatus.com has it different

If we take 88 pts to take WC2 in the East (increase the amount of point and it increase the difficulty for all):
Habs need 17 pts in 16 games: 0.531
NYR need 16 pts in 14 games: 0.571
Columbus 18 pts in 16 games: 0.625
Detroit 18 pts in 15 games: 0.600
Since March 1st:
Habs: 0.714
NYR: 0.556
Columbus: 0.286
Detroit: 0.250
It looks to be pretty much a Habs/NYR battle now. The Habs are really the masters of their own destiny.
With the way this season is going, they’re due for an 8 game losing streak soon. Lol I don’t even care if they miss as it’s not our time anyways, I just want to see them to stay in the race to the very end. If they do that, I think it’s a huge step in the rebuild. Especially with Demidov coming next season.That’s how playoff status shows it, since for the Habs percentage is in green which indicates they have the pole position if they keep winning. Definitely going to be exciting!
Guys, can Guhlie possibly return this season??
Tomorrow’s game vs Sens is a MUST WIN (I get they all are) but more so taking advantage of games in hand on NYR, preferably coupled w NJD regulation win tonight over CBJ would make for ideal situation to manifestMontreal now has the highest chance of making the playoffs between them, NYR & everyone behind them in the race.

Top 8 in each conference make the playoffs. So SKA is already locked into the playoffs since the gap between them and the team in 9th is 18 points.From my understanding only top-4 teams from each conference qualify for playoffs which run from March 26 - end of May.
SKA sits 4pts back of CSKA w 3GP left… should SKA not qualify for playoffs is there a possibility Demigod joins Habs early April?
Ahhh - thanksTop 8 in each conference make the playoffs. So SKA is already locked into the playoffs since the gap between them and the team in 9th is 18 points.
And Marty becomes a candidate for coach of the year, even though the Caps dude will win it.Habs make playoffs Hutson Calder winner for sure
Metro division is the way. Much easier road to ECF. Let the Atlantic tear eachother apartCapitals are dominating the league now, but it will be very intereting to see them face that WC2 team in first round of playoffs. Whoever that is, I would say the odds would be 50-50 in that series. Rangers, Habs, Columbus would all be extremely motivated.
