Tracking the Playoffs Thread

[Lansdown]

did a double take when i checked the scoreboard. good news for you guys.

 

[CupofOil]

You're Welcome.
Now go get that playoff spot. I'm rooting for you guys.

 

[BluejacketNut]

i wouldn't count on anything on the second night of a back to back, especially playing at Colorado, which is always tough.

Especially in mile high air. Not going to take too much more glee, karma can be a b!tch!

Just to add to conversation, Colorado is also playing a 2 games in 2 nights, and they are playing late in Phoenix tonight.

Colorado is playing back to back as well, and well, they are the 2nd worst team on paper.

THANK YOU!!!

And please dont resign Ryan Jones. I want him to be on our 3rd or 4th line next year.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Just getting in. Are you kidding me?

 

[punk_o_holic]

This is concerning. They're going to be furious after getting spanked like this tomorrow...

Yeah, basically this.

A couple of years ago when Edmonton was in the Cup finals, they ended up blowing out Caroline in game 6. I think Don Cherry(or someone from CBC) said this was the worst type of win Edmonton could have because Carolina would be fired up for game 7 after suffering a embarassing lose. Carolina came out flying and obviously ended up winning the game and the Cup.

Mikko Koivu (36-109=145) is tied with Marian Gaborik (59-86=145) for most power-play points in #mnwild history.

I believe.

 

[IBleedUnionBlue]

what would happen if the CBJ and Wild both lose tomorrow?

 

[cbjlurker]

Holy cow - just saw the Wild score. THANK YOU Oilers!

I can't tell if my stomach is feeling upset due to excitement we might be destined for the playoffs this year ... Or dread that this will lead to a bigger heartbreak tomorrow when we win if both Minnesota and Detroit also win

Regardless, so proud of how our team played the second half of the year. I'll be watching the game on TV tomorrow - hope the crowd shows their appreciation to this team so loud you blow out my speakers. Go CBJ!

 

[Bobcat110]

what would happen if the CBJ and Wild both lose tomorrow?

We are tied now. We need 1 point more than the Wild tomorrow. Either they lose in Regulation and we lose in OT...or we win out right and they lose (OT or Reg)

 

[DJA]

After this performance, would you count on either Backstrom or Harding to win you one game to get you into the playoffs?

 

[db2011]

imagine it goes to a shootout tomorrow night in Colorado...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

what would happen if the CBJ and Wild both lose tomorrow?

Simple answer is - Wild go. Jackets lose ROW tiebreaker. See Bobcat's post for anything beyond that.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

imagine it goes to a shootout tomorrow night in Colorado...

then we have to win, and them lose in a shootout. we would get in

 

[FANonymous]

Colorado is playing back to back as well, and well, they are the 2nd worst team on paper.

Good thing they don't skate on paper!

 

[Columbus Mike]

But I put almost all of my vCash on Minnesota tonight.....

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

THANK YOU!!!

And please dont resign Ryan Jones. I want him to be on our 3rd or 4th line next year.

I'd personally pay for his plane ticket. Anyways, good luck tomorrow. I'm an oilers die hard but I have to admit it would be nice to see you guys make it.

 

[JACKETfan]

Freakin Awesome!

 

[Byrral]

that ones over. just gotta hope it shakes up minnesota beyond repair

then we have to win, and them lose in a shootout. we would get in

I forgot. I should have banned you from this thread too.

Can't believe this game. We can't get any help from Vancouver or LA but Edmonton and CalGary deliver. The poor helping the poor.

 

[Byrral]

But I put almost all of my vCash on Minnesota tonight.....

Nice reverse jinx

 

[Cash for Nash]

Good thing they don't skate on paper!

Islanders with a point. Would love to see the Rags lose tommorrow in regulation and have to play the Pens. Lock up that 14th pick.

 

[Chain Attack]

Yeah, basically this.

A couple of years ago when Edmonton was in the Cup finals, they ended up blowing out Caroline in game 6.

Chin up. There's so many examples of the reverse happening though. (See Boston/Vancouver for most recent example.) The way you have to look at it is, Minnie was going to be a favourite tomorrow regardless. Now Minnie *might be lacking confidence a bit.

Good luck guys.
