That's okay we will clinch the same time we bury the Preds tomorrow.

Handing the divion to Calgary who stumbled at a slightly better time. Their prize is going to be a date with Vegas. The good news is they will have probably got the losing streak out of their system by then and they may be due to heat up at the right time.

Man the NHL is just like the NFL with the "any given Sunday" moniker.
Any team can win and win big on any given night

I have a bad feeling that we're going to be playing the Avs in the first round. Grubauer could be this year's nemesis. Even if we win, that could be a long, nasty, dirty series that leaves the Jets battered and maybe broken for round 2.
Avs don't scare me at all. Nobody in our division does.
Thats not set in stone yet. Right now we match up with Dallas. Wouldn't count out Arizona or Minny yet. The east is looking pretty locked up but the west WC spots are still very much up in the air and may come down to the final games.
There is a big Yotes vs. Avs game on the 29th, Wild vs Yotes game on the 31st. With two big wins by the Yotes there as well as keeping pace they very well could make the playoffs. No other combo of those 4 teams plays against each other so it could very well come down to some crushing games to determine the WC spots.
The Jets take on the Stars on the 25th, Wild on the 2nd of april, Avs on the 4th, then close out the season against the Yotes on the 6th. Those teams also have tough matchups against many hard to beat teams.
Western Wild Card will be a fun one to follow to close out the season.
4 big games on the OOTSB
Yotes vs Isles
Habs vs. Canes
Avs vs. Hawks
Jackets vs. Nucks
A Yotes win and an Avs regulation loss mean the Dogs leap over the Avs for the 2nd WC spot in the west. If the Habs beat the Canes in any fashion and the Jackets lose today I think it pretty much kills any chance the Jackets make the playoffs. It's not completely cemented as the Jackets could go on a tear and the Habs and/or Canes could lose a bunch down the stretch but if you think of the law of averages I'd say the Jackets could potentially be eliminated, not officially, today.

It is practically the responsibility of any hockey fan to turn on the TV on March 28th, when we have the biggest game left for determining the playoff picture: Columbus-Montreal. A true four-point game, that one. With a win, the Habs would pretty much close it out and eliminate Columbus. The Jackets will, in all likelihood, be fighting for their damn lives.
Also, fire Kekäläinen.

St. Louis gives me the heebee geebees a bit.
The Jets always seem to have fits with them.
However the rest I am with you.

Wha?
The Jets have been kicking their ass even when we were all looking at lottery odds instead of the standings.
Except for the last game, but that was coming off of a 5-goals-for-one-dude shit-kicking.
But his press conferences are so engaging...
i've been preaching load management. i asked Murat to look into writing an article about it and how the NHL hasn't considered it whatsoever (looking at you, PoMo, and you running Helle into the ground).
this article "examines" load management....

um, think i didn't have Hainsey in mind when i was talking about the need for load management.

Sad moral victory/silver lining article on SN to try and apply some salve to the Leafs fans wounds:
Leafs turn page on mini crisis with persistent effort against Rangers - Sportsnet.ca
Was also the main article this morning, I guess the Laffs getting a point against a basement dweller is more important than the second Canadian team clinching a playoff spot vs their division arch rivals.

It's bizarre that a team that's a hundred years old is treated like the baby siblingWe could win the Cup and the headlines would still be about Toronto somehow
