Columbus wins tie breaker if all 3 wins are in regulation. Is that it?
(They’d pull the goalie to avoid a tie?)
They might and I imagine they would depending on which game.

Like tonight they probably wouldn't as losing in regulation ends them.
I was talking about an OT Win by CBJ not an OT loss.
If CBJ wins in OT then we would need 1 pt instead of 2.
Ahh alright my bad.

Hopefully. I get the feeling Marty won't play Demidov if he aren't clinched or if there's a risk for Columbus catching us. Or at the very least he'll be fourth line buried.

Marty always tends to play his vets more when we're in the mix and changes things up when we're bad. Like Hutson moved to PP1 when we were pretty far down in the standings.

I want to see big minute Demidov from the beginning.
All coaches do that btw when in contention.

Caps have been sleepwalking for the past while. Maybe they don't see the need to play hard given how they've clinched, but they shouldn't be thrilled with their game lately.

I'm optimistic that the caps will win today simply because the way they lost. Not only because of the 7-0 scoreline, but remember how fantilli laid out Leonard and then scored on the same shift?

They got punched in the mouth last night and I think assuming that they ice a more compeitive roster, they will have enough compeitive juices awaken to get the job done today.
 
Positive: To make the playoffs Columbus needed to win 6 games in a row to close out the season.
They're half way there, but it's a giant mountain to climb. They'll likely get goalied in 1 of their 3 remaining games IMO.

Washington needs to get into playoff mode and practice eliminating a team. Get'r done tonight Caps!

This doomsday panic that many people have are pretending like Columbus is still in a more favourable position than us to make it
 
Ya but most playoff teams aren't dressing Pezzetta or Kapanen or Roy or newhook level players.
No because they usually have better talent. This run is epic because this is not a talented group. They have youth up the wazoo and one line! Two great young Ds and somewhat stable goaltending. Oh! And a pretty surprising old vet line.

But this is not even close to being a finished product.

It’s an epic run.
 
I think on paper they have a pretty good team. I expected them to be in the mix for sure. Plus playing for Johnny.
Nobody had Marchenko becoming a borderline PPG player, Werenski a Norris trophy candidate and Olivier being a 20 goalscorer. Hell there were questions on if Kent Johnson would stay with them and he's exploded. They were worse than us last year, and in the offseason they traded away Texier and Laine, acquired Harris, and signed Monahan.
