I dont see us going pointless with Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo, and NYI on the schedule still
Realistically we go 2-2 in those, and lose our Pittsburgh and Columbus game. Finish with 69 points (nice). Probably guarantee a bottom 4 finish in the standings. Dont see Buffalo catching us if we win any.
I dont know if we'll pass Vancouver either, their schedule is tough. Anaheim, Edmonton, Columbus, Vegas, Arizona, Edmonton. Lets say get 2 wins in there - which is being generous - they still wouldnt pass us in the above scenario.
Ottawa also has a really tough schedule. NYI, Florida, Detroit, Winnipeg, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Boston. Lets say they go 1-2 with us, buffalo, and NYI the three shit teams. They probably go 0-4 against Florida, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh, Boston. They end with 65 points.
31 Buffalo ??? too lazy too look them up but they suck and are too far behind
30 Ottawa (65)
29 Vancouver (67)
28 Detroit (69)
that's what i predict. If Ottawa beat us we could easily flip around to 30th place, though, because we have less ROWs than Vancouver/Ottawa. Basically, the Ottawa game is going to be the most important i think.
