Don't talk about playoffs, you kiddin' me? Playoffs?!?

[Glory Days]

Funny how if we win 5 in a row and the teams ahead of us lose some (eg., DET has lost their last 4 games), all of a sudden the "we need to go 14-5-2 the rest of the way" talk becomes irrelevant and what we do the next game is all that matters.

Yes indeed, Detroit has now lost 5 in a row while Isles have won 6 in a row. How quickly things can change.

How quickly it gets steeper with two losses. Luckily everyone seemingly lost too

 

[Doshell Propivo]

Still in a playoff spot with a game in hand spot despite the two losses. Still only 4 points behind 3rd with 2 games in hand.

I want 4 points this weekend. 2 you have to get at home vs OTT, 2 for revenge against NYR. You give me these, it makes up for the last two.

Crazy. Lose 4 in a row and don't lose much ground. Weird weird season. Waiting for the white hot run by sorokin that looks like it may not come this year. Bummer

The bottom of the conference is catching up to us, but yeah, the Flyers aren't doing much better than the Isles these days.

The door is wide open for everyone.

The important thing is we're still one of those team. We're still in this thing!!!

There a few ways to get to I guess 96 Points. I think 95 gets you in though. Its not going to be easy. i still think we miss out

You left out the beluga reference...

 

[SI]

I think 92 might be enough to get in, but let's go with the 95 points folks are saying here.

95 points
Flyers 76 points - 14 Games Left - that would be 9-4-1
Red Wings 74 points - 14 games left - that would be 10-3-1
Capitals 75 points - 15 games left - that would be 10-5
Islanders 73 points - 15 games left - that would be 9-4-2
Penguins 69 points - 15 games left - that would be 13-2
Sabres 69 points - 14 games left - that would be 13-1
Devils 68 points - 14 games left - that would be 13-0-1

None of these teams will play 700 hockey in the last 15 games - the schedules are too tough

92 points

• Flyers 76 points - 14 Games Left - that would be 7-5-2
• Red Wings 74 points - 14 games left - that would be 9-5
• Capitals 75 points - 15 games left - that would be 8-6-1
• Islanders 73 points - 15 games left - that would be 9-5-1
• Penguins 69 points - 15 games left - that would be 11-3-1
• Sabres 69 points - 14 games left - that would be 11-2-1
• Devils 68 points - 14 games left - that would be 12-2

Flyers next 9

• TOR, @ CAR, BOS, FLA, @ NYR, @ HABS, CHI, NYI, @ BUF

Islanders Next 10

• CAR, @DET, WPG, NJD, @ FLA, @ TBY, @ PHI, CHI, @ Columbus,

Red Wings next 9

• Columbus, NYI, @NSH, @caps, @ CAR, @ FLA, @ TBY, NYR, BUF

Capitals next 10

• TOR, CAR, WPG, DET, @ TOR, BOS, @ BUF, PITT, @car, OTT

 

[BelovedIsles]

Tough schedule ahead, playing like crap. I will be utterly shocked if they made it.

 

[Zeeker]

The Caps just won their first two Western Canada road trip games against Van and Calgary in regulation.

If we miss the playoffs, we’ll have lost out to the selling Caps, the selling Flyers, and the perpetually rebuilding Red Wings.

A virtually fully healthy, win now Islanders team. That would be quite the indictment on this franchise.
