Coyotes lost, which is good.

So even if Vegas loses this game, they will still be 7 points up on the Coyotes.

Looks at standings and see the Kings bottom 5.

Hey Doughty, you still think your team is going to finish ahead of the Knights?

Well do you?

 

[Super Cake]

Coyotes will have a quick exit if they make the playoffs.

That is unless Kuemper can stand on his head.

 

[Super Cake]

Coyotes lost. Still 9 points up on them.

San Jose is picking a good time to implode.

San Jose is picking a good time to implode.

Would be fantastic if we could catch them for the 2 seed in the Pacific.

Would be nice, if we do we do but let’s not hurt ourselves to get there

Let's see. This week.... 2-time Norris winner out injured. Captain, key center, out injured. Top center out with flu. Plus losing rookie defenseman for 6 months.

20 seasons of playoff experience and going again.

Take San Jose lightly at your peril.

Sharks better hope they get better goaltending for the playoffs. Jones and his .898 save percentage is just not going to cut it.

Better D equates to goalie seeing fewer, harder-to-stop shots.

If you think home ice matters that much. Not worth chasing, if it gets handed to you so be it. First is only real prize this year and even that has only so much value.

Position is secure, team is gelling. Time to rest Flower. My guess is he gets two more starts to end the RS.

We've won 9 out of 10 or 10 out of 11, so I wouldn't necessarily call it chasing. If it happens, great...if not, it's not the end of the world.

I do, however, think home ice is a big deal mentally. For both our team, & even more so for any team that would have to come in here & open up a series on the road. Especially for the Sharks, knowing they had a big lead on the 2 seed. You'd have to imagine traveling here for Game 1 would be a huge letdown for them.

With only 7-8 games left, there is very little left to speculate.

Looking at the huge goal differentials, it would seem that the winner of our matchup will get to play fresh Calgary team in the 2nd round.

I'm not that scared of either of them. I mean I'm not thinking it will be a walk in the park but San Jose is a disaster right now and Calgary hasn't convinced me of anything.

Until i see an x next to the Knights name, their position is not secure.

It is still mathematically possible that the Knights miss the playoffs. Not saying that it is going to happen, just saying it is still possible.

I mean if we lost every game...maybe. (if we went 0-9-0 we'd still have a 56% chance to make it)

We could clinch tonight if we win and all three of the Avalanche, Wild, and Coyotes lose. Pretty unlikely but it shows how close we are.

Missing the playoffs is as likely as James Neal scoring three goals per game in the playoffs

I like how you wrote that half an hour before Avs won their game lol.
