another wrister to the glove side....

If Toronto loses (they're down 2-0) they are eliminated.

Washington is winning so they would not be eliminated yet, but with the NJD losing yesterday, all the CBJ need now is 2 points to clinch since they'll own all the tie breakers with Washington. Win in Dallas and it's all over.

 

[Mike80]

Leafs down 3-0 with like 10 seconds to go.

Win in Dallas and you clinch (with Washington only being able to catch Detroit since they have 90 points)....

But then we can get greedy and look at seeding. If the CBJ finishes strong, they may be able to get out of the #8 seed and avoid Boston in Round 1. The CBJ do not control their own destiny regarding the #8 seed--they could still be the #8 seed even going 3-0-0. However, given how Boston's looked this year, the CBJ would have a better chance of winning their first playoff game if they could avoid Boston in the first round.

You can be greedy about seeding - I want my Wings to play the Pens right at the moment

2-0 just like that....make it 3-0 or 4-0 and put them away boys

 

[Mike80]

Jenner makes it 3-0!!!

 

[Mike80]

fuckin terrible call on the interference on Skille

 

[OHSportsFan]

Woo buddy, Jackets not messing around in this one.

This will be some kind of collapse!

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

What happened with the first goal? Yahoo is showing and empty net goal by Horton 0:00 into the game?

It was the goal he scored before the Peverly collapse. It was actually a power play goal back in March.

 

[Bucknut24]

if they win they clinch, correct?

 

[Mike80]

Yes - they'll have 91 points and 37 ROW. Washington would be the only team that could catch them in points, but they'd have, at best, 29 ROW.

Finish this game and they're in.

 

[Mike80]

Take away the damn loser points and NJD and Washington aren't even 80 point teams.

Ah, that explains it. I forgot this was the continuation. Thanks!
