Buffalo mounting a comeback.

It's been obvious our season has been over for a couple of weeks but with cbj winning tonight I think even the most zealous supporter needs to admit our hopes are done for.

Errr Columbus' magic number is 4.

And I don't think there's been anyone here getting their hopes up.

Oh yeah and Toronto eliminated, feel sorry for them.

The season was over after the Dallas implosion and fingers being pointed by the coach.

Its about going down in glory these last few games more than anything and that is hard to do with how poorly we are coached.

Look at this way, Ted can't spin this on injuries or anything else. As for GMGM and Oates, I'll believe it when I see it.

GMMG gone from Vancouver.

Come back tomorrow if we lose tonight,

With an expiring contract, there's zero chance McPhee gets fired during the season. Makes way more senese to let him stay on board and not renew the contract, rather than to pay him to leave.

Polyannaishly speaking - Cbus has to play their last 4 games over 5 nights, and the last 3 are roadies. They have Phoenix tonight, in Dallas tomorrow (where they start w/a 1-0 lead), Tampa Bay Friday and Florida Saturday.

An OT loss and a loss over the next 2 nights, and then a split in Fla is not out of the ordinary (1-2-1), which means Caps could get in if they go 4-0.

Problem is, every time I watch Columbus, they look really hard to play against: hard on puck, tough against boards and in corners, don't surrunder huge gobs of territory, demonstrate an ability to break out of the zone by have D-men make passes to the tape of forward that are moving to open spots on the ice, actual possessing of the puck - you know all the things the Caps don't or won't do.

So there's no point in even being Pollyanna-ish: the Jackets do the things that need to be done to make the playoffs, the Caps don't. As plucky and overachieving as they are, I can't see the Jackets doing very much in the playoffs - I suspect they'll have trouble scoring goals, they're young and apt to make mistakes and Bob's not the most reliable goalie even though he's been playing well.

But Yeezus, at the least they show some moxie. The Caps have played like Team Qualuude down the stretch.

Nice thought. But the Jackets win again (good for them), so now they only need 2 pts outta 6 games to earn the slot. My guess is they do it tomorrow night against the Stars. Worst case, last game versus Florida. Panthers are awful.

@markhmasters: Where did season get away from Leafs? Jay McClement: "In Washington"; that's when 8-game skid started

Well, there's that at least.

Something has to replace the WNBA attendance banners they finally took down.

Go Stars!

Go Pengwhines!!

If I were the owner I really would. Along with other stupid stuff like that designed just to taunt other teams. I would be a horrible owner.

1-0 leads early for both Detroit and Columbus.

 

[Capitlols]

Not looking good.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

3-0 Jackets.

 

[Kcoyote3]

If both Detroit and Columbus win, that finishes it right?

Come on Stars.

Detroit only needs 1 point, but yes.
