Which EASTERN conf team will get the WC2 spot?
- Thread starter M2Beezy
- Start date
Nobody is assuming they have the spot locked it. They’re playing their best hockey right now, knowing how big every game is. They are separating themselves from the pack but still plenty of hockey to go
Not 100% they have 5 points with a game extra on the NYR and have 26 RG wins.
That's why I sadly took the NYR over Columbus.
Heart says Jackets, head says NYR.
The Habs have a chance, Detroit, Boston and the NYI don't.
Would you have voted for Ottawa or New Jersey if they were an option?
Why did you object to Ottawa not being there, but not new Jersey?
Sure of course they could be, and 5 pts aint huge thats for sure. But gotta draw the line somewhere. Wouldnt be the biggest shock in hockey history if they miss the playoffs, but the way theyre separating themselves, probably not
The Leafs should be an option. Past practice has them regressing towards normalcy in the push for the season finish.
Don't be ridiculous, Ottawa should be in there too.
It may be more unlikely because they have a tiny cushion. Plenty of games left.

On PTS% the difference between OTT and NJD is less than a point. NYR have a game in hand on NJD. OTT has a game in hand on NYR. Points in the bank are better than games in hand but NJD had 74 points at 65GP.
While I think NJ is too far ahead they lost against the Pens today but still have 8 points with 2 games more played so if a team like the NYR wins 3 straight it might get interesting but I doubt it.
The NYR/Columbus game is extremely important.

Habs are currently up 2 zip Rangers are up 1 zip If the Habs win and the Rangers lose Habs will sit in that last spot. Give the Sens the advantage on securing that 1st spot. That last spot is a rat race and who ever gets it will have earned it,
We're talking 8 pts with a game in hand vs 6 pts no games in hand..
One game and they're the exact same.
Now 7 points with 2 games in hand vs 6 pts with no games in hand.
Ottawa's lead is mathematically safer than new Jersey's lol

I agree. And it could lowkey be the best thing for the Leafs, falling into the Metro side of the bracket and avoiding the Florida teams
