East wildcard race - who's in?

[JGuardz]

While the snail race in the west has more teams, the easy is looking like it's coming down to 4 teams - canes, Habs, pens, Columbus. Who do you guys think is in? Is Columbus still in a spot if they sell panarin/bob?

CBJ, Pitts almost certainly.

Sorry Canes..

CBJ, Pitts almost certainly.

Sorry Canes..

That doesn’t make sense they are both in metro...

Who will make more point than them?

One of pitts or columbus will likely secure a top 3 metro spot.


My opinion:

Columbus, carolina

 

[hamzarocks]

Pens get 1st wildcard and Canes get 2nd wildcard. The habs end up missing the playoffs

 

[leafsfan5]

wtf like a week ago we were talking about leafs vs habs in the playoffs...now they're one Carolina win from being out of a playoff spot

Things move quick lol

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

CBJ, Pitts almost certainly.

Sorry Canes..

So if Clb and Pit are the WC teams and Car is out (as your "sorry" comment implies), who's the third Metro team?

 

[Emerz]

-MTL
+Carolina

 

[Coach Parker]

Julien's always been good at getting a team to overachieve just enough to get that 14th overall pick and miss the playoffs by a point.

i've been saying we were missing the playoffs no matter what this season...

and yes st-louis was deadlast at some point! they are above wild card by 7pts!

 

[Blue Blooded]

Carolina finishes 2nd or 3rd in the Metro.

Montreal takes WC1.

It's between Pittsburgh and Columbus for WC2 and I give that to Columbus if they keep BobnBread.

Fingers crossed for Philly

 

[TH1Pool]

Pittsburgh and Carolina is a safe guess. Philly is something like 12-1-1 over last 14, w. 23 gms left and only 6pts behind MTL and Pittsburgh...a little early to say it’s a done deal that they aren’t getting in.

Exactly. This past week of hockey can be undone just as quickly by the next week of hockey. Positions shift and people think they're witnessing a trend... until next week's shift and the next trend.

Should be a wild ride to the finish line!

They are rolling but their schedule is about to get pretty rough. Going to have to beat some really good teams to stay in it

 

[MattMartin]

I figured the Islanders wouldn't be in this because of them being near the bottom, been a fun year so far but we could fall down as well.

 

[Sstroh84]

Washington has been the team that seems to be struggling the most right now along with Pittsburgh. Caps lost in Anaheim last night and currently sit 2 points ahead of PIT and CBJ, but CBJ have two games in hand on them and PIT.

 

[Flukeshot]

Even as a Flyers fan I had written them off while being 7 pts out a few days ago. Now I'm not sure...

That or I just need to count out the flyers and Sabres.

 

[Shrimper]

Washington are far from safe too. Have to be included

 

[Sparksrus3]

Tampa
Boston
TML

Islanders
Caps
Jackets

WC1 - Pens
WC2 - Hurricanes

 

[Riseonfire]

East prediction:

Atlantic: Tampa, Boston, Toronto
Metro: Islanders, Washington, Pittsburgh*

WC1: Columbus*
WC2: Carolina

Columbus is in a really unique spot at this deadline and I have no idea how it shakes so I put Pitt ahead. Carolina over Montreal was a coin toss.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Habs had a rough week...woof

Big game tuesday vs BJs.

I would like to see the Canes get in

I wasnt. it was painfully obvious the habs would drop.

Man, whoever gets 1st in the Metro might have a horrible 1st round match up.
Imagine drawing Pitts or Washington?

TB might end up getting in on that action too.
