'nuff said: with a schedule like that, the Jackets wil NOT be making the payoffs this year!

Interesting approach, Ville - I like it. Might as well call me the Leafs: come away with the wrost possible draft pick while failing to make the playoffs.

Come on Douglas, I need you to at least split those 4 games w/ the Blues ... and lose to me of course

The way the team is playing now... I doubt it I'll make it... the myth that was Jason LaBarbera has died... and so the playoff dreams...

I'm thinking my coach, Claude Julien, will get Lamoreillo-ed, if we're in rough shape going into game #80.

I've never made the playoffs as a GM, and I've had years where my fourth line now would have looked like my first line. Better make it this time.

dispite a 20-4-1 run in the last 25 games Phoenix is expected to fall off the bus as it picks up steam towards the end of the season, but i think considering i wasn't expected to make the playoffs losing my last 14 games of the season would still be considered a collective success for the season, i'm goin for the playoffs and really got nothing to lose now

I'm just glade that the Leafs are in the East... otherwise we'd probably be barely making the play-offs as well

We have to get some kind of CFL-style "cross-over" for playoff spots.
