Alright, let's look at our schedule and compare it to who is chasing us.

CBJ - 6 GMS - 89 Points - 38 ROW

@ EDM
@ CGY
@ VAN
DET
PIT
NSH

PHI - 7 GMS - 88 Points - 36 ROW

@ PIT
@ DAL
@ COL
BOS
@ NYI
CAR
NYR

NJD - 7 GMS - 86 Points - 34 ROW

CAR
PIT
NYI
@ MTL
NYR
TOR
@ WSH

FLA - 9 GMS - 83 Points - 35 ROW

@ NYI
@ TOR
@ OTT
@ BOS
CAR
NSH
BOS
BUF
@ BOS

Hypothetically, Let's be the most realistically pessimistic person ever for the CBJ, and say they only win 2 of their final 6 games against Vancouver and Detroit. That puts them at 93 points with 38 ROW. That means to pass us the Flyers have to win 3 games in their final 7, Devils need to win 4 games in their final 7, and Panthers need to win at least 5 of their final 9 (all in regulation or OT) to pass us.

Yes, it's very possible to miss. It's unlikely, but so was winning 10 games. And this is almost the absolutely most realistically negative scenario because I don't see us losing out. But yeah, it'll be tough to miss...but...

Edmonton could be a difficult one.

McDavid is gunning for the Art Ross and all systems are go with the game's best player. 2 goals already tonight and 15g 15a in his last 18. The boy is en fuego.

Math is not working with final standings, Pitt is losing to Devils and Philly and still wins Metro? If they win other 5 it gives them 10 points and final 100, But you have 99p Philly as 3rd. So it means Caps will go 1-5-1 to be under 100. Not happening. Caps are winning metro.

You right

 

[hardkorejackets]

Let's hope today's Flyers and Penguins game ends in regulation today. But, I think I'm pulling for the Penguins.

 

[Jaxs]

Root for Pitt in a 2 point game so we don't get closer to the edge, I would say cliff but that may be a trigger word around here.

Hold your nose and root for the Pens. If Philly wins, the pearl-clutching amongst some posters here will go into overdrive.

Washington has a 5 point lead (and more ROWs) on Pittsburgh, no way they don’t win the division.

 

[Jackets Fan]

3-2 Pens middle of 2nd

Tbh idgaf who wins. Hate these scenarios. Either Philly wins and leapfrogs us, or ****sburg moves ahead by 3 points.

Ugh I hate these kind of games. Such an annoying scenario. It’s lose/lose. Just hope whoever wins does it in regulation

I agree on all parts, however the fat lady ain't singing yet, she may be warming up but we have some points to get. With that said the way the Blue Jackets played last night even in the loss was the first time that I can say this team can play post season hockey. No one wants to play us when it counts. That is a scary unrelenting team that has confidence in itself. And they are young & have stamina and depth. Lets GO Jackets!!!

I thought most everyone was afraid of playing Pens and wanted to play Caps. What happened to those people? They should be hoping for Flyers win in OT so CBJ hold solid WC1 spot.



I’m personally pulling for Philly in regulation. Keep Pens in sight.

For the sake of falling from #3 in metro i guess, because if we will.

 

[Maylo]

Oh crap! 3 point game.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Game going to OT of course. Goddamn Flyers always score with their goalie pulled. Unbelievable. Opposite of the Blue Jackets

 

[spintheblackcircle]

that's just crap

 

[Bobcat110]

Hope flyers get the extra. In shoot out

Didn't score on us.
