Lets not waste this chance to win the division no matter how some say it really doesn't matter. I would rather be playing a seventh game at home against anybody than on the road. This is the game the team will remember how they played going into the first game of the playoffs.

Gotta get that home ice. Came too far not to. Plus it would be glorious if all that effort Boston put in to coming back to win the division only to be rewarded to play Toronto instead. Would be nice if Carolina just buckled it in for the offseason but we know they will play the game of their lives tonight.

The final 5 or so mins of last game is a good sign for this team heading into the playoffs. They let their guard down in the 2nd but were able to get the lead back and hold off the other team. Keeping those one goal leads is playoff hockey right here. Guys were blocking shots, clearing the zone and preventing Buffalo from getting set up again.

Priorities tonight: 1). Win the division and let Boston deal with Toronto. 2). Hope Columbus doesn’t finish 8th which is possible as they travel to Nashville. Give me the Panthers, Flyers or Devils. Really don’t care which one. Maybe Columbus can give Pitt a run.

I'm not sure why everyone's so afraid of Toronto. They're the one team whose defensive breakdowns are probably more costly than ours. I think we'd handle them.

I'm more afraid of NJ.

General consensus on this board is that the Canes are going to give it everything they've got tonight and I agree. Apparently the Vegas odds makers think that the Sens are going to do the exact opposite vs the Bruins. The Bs are going off as a nearly 4 to 1 favorite. They are at home but still, you never see straight up W/L odds like that in hockey.

I'm glad that we seem to be playing Dom tonight to give Vasy some rest. It feels weird that it's the last game of the regular season, it's gone by quickly but I feel ready for the PO to start to see what this team can do. But we still have tonight and I hope to see them at their best.

Really hope we get New Jersey in the first round. Their roster is ahl level. We lost all our games against them but that was more bad luck than anything. A team with Sami f***ing Vatanen as their best defender isnt one we should be scared of.

Just win. Make it hurt Boston even more. The speed and clutch and grab of the leafs can really stop Boston. I would love to see them beat each other up at least. Like it was said above, playing the Flyers would be amazing. Our offense against their goaltending - laugh out loud...

I guess no one took the time to SEE THERE IS ONE GAME tomorrow. If the Bolts lose tonight, but the Panthers win in regulation, that the Bolts still take the east in ROW's. Am I wrong? I sure have been wrong before.

My only concern for tonight's game is 6 goals that left till 300. I am ok with 6-7 loss.

So, 300 or bust! This is Spa... Tampa! :laugh:

Yes. The Lightning clinch the division with a win in regulation or overtime. Or they clinch with a Boston loss in regulation.

Welp the Panthers are gonzo and Philly is in. Need a Columbus win or NJ loss. Both winning would be fine also.
