Playoffs Positivity Thread

Switched from the Florida game to the CBJ game. These teams don't look like they're fighting for their playoff lives.

If Habs were in their shoes I don't think a lot of people would believe they could come back from a 8 points deficit. Probably hard to believe and go all out in that case.

Wings lost against the Panthers

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Detroit loses 4-1. That's one final that went our way.

 

[Andrei79]

Crazy how Buffalo always looks like a legit team with 10 games left.

Their president had to step in and be interim GM for a couple weeks and he screwed that franchise so hard. I don't understand how Mcdavid watches how poorly that team is run and would want to re-sign for the rest of his career, even with Draisaitl.

I'll give credit to McDavid, he did right by the Oilers: he signed an 8 yr deal at a price point that wasn't crippling. If he leaves, I won't blame him. He's given them 10 years (11 by the end of his deal) to get their sh*t together.​

Blue Jackets beat the Sabres

 

[Andrei79]

Blue Jackets really want Montreal to earn it.

So, is it 2 or 3 points we need. Who has the tie-breaker vs CBJ ?

 

[Milhouse40]

Columbus win......sucks.
This race ain't over, Habs still need to get some point on the board.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Meaning that the Habs still need 3 points to clinch

1 regulation win does it I think (assuming the Rangers win).

 

[Balthazar]

Shouldn't count on the Caps to beat CBJ either. Caps will rest their players and not care like all the top teams at this time of the year.

Nope. A regulation win is enough.

It will depend how Columbus wins those games (Overtime or regulation)
Habs need 3 points.....either by Columbus losing points or them getting points.

If Montreal gets one more regulation win they eliminate the Blue Jackets

2

Okay. Basically a RW vs Ottawa and they're in.

Nice. Hope the boys finish that nasty business tomorrow.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Habs just need a regulation W to clinch!!

2

2 but in regulation to clinch if CBJ don't lose their remaining games!!

Habs only need 2 if those 2 points are obtained via a regulation win. 2 ot losses or 1 ot win wouldn't be enough though

 

[Naslund]

Correct. Although the same apply to Clb. They need RW.

 

[le_sean]

I can see the Jackets winning all 4 of their remaining games. Caps have nothing to play for, Flyers and Isles even less so.

we only need one win, 2

We do. A regulation win against Ottawa eliminates all of them: NYR, NYI, Detroit & Columbus - that's assuming NYR wins the NYI game. It's 5-1 Rangers in the 3rd.

Columbus can only get a maximum of 89 points, 30 RWs. Montreal can achieve that with a regulation win tomorrow moving the tie breaker to ROWs, which we lead by a lot.

Detroit, NYR & NYI will all be eliminated with one point, as they can only top out at 87 points, which Montreal is already at.

It's in our hands. Win in regulation tomorrow and we clinch with 3 games left in season.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Our streak of "biggest game of the season" continues tomorrow night, but it's for real this time

 

[red devil]

Rangers 6-1, one more regulation win and the playoffs are clinched
