Hopefully, the Knights can get back on track. They will probably be playing the #2 Wild Card team: either Colorado, Dallas, Ducks or Kings. Oh, my.

 

[LadyStanley]

So, Anaheim (4th in division, currently out of playoffs) has 84 points and 10 games left, so max points for them is 104. VGK is at 95. So they need 10 points to clinch playoff spot (9 if they have tiebreaker over Ducks).

 

[LadyStanley]

Golden Knights can clinch a playoff berth this week

Clinch imminent?

 

[VanIslander]

We must be close. Tampa has clinched a spot. We must be close...

 

[BattleBorn]

I think it's tonight and the next game.

Just said I thought it was tonight and Thursday in the other thread.

Apparently we need a Dallas loss as well.

 

[LadyStanley]

Merging of threads?

 

[LadyStanley]

I'll be at the game on Thursday.

Trying to figure out what to wear. Sharks shirt (underneath), VGK jersey? VGK shirt, Sharks jersey? Sharks jacket, VGK jacket (under raincoat). Bring my Sharks (golf) umbrella? Sharks hat? (Don't yet own VGK hat) Decisions, decisions.

Just said I thought it was tonight and Thursday in the other thread.

Apparently we need a Dallas loss as well.

We need any combination of wins for us and losses for Kings or Ducks to get to a total of 8 point swing, or losses for Stars or Blues to get to a total of 6 or 7 point swing, respectively. Basically, like Ken said, we need to eliminate 5 Pacific or 7 Western from mathematically surpassing us.

I would recommend, a VGK shirt, a VGK jersey, and purchase a VGK hat at the venue. Boom, done!

Back in the Bay Area?

It seems like common practice is visiting team everything with home team hat. Got to support the visiting team.

Plus, might get on AT&T Sportsnet.

 

[LadyStanley]

Yep. Plan to be on the glass for warmups (where I can actually bring in a decent camera and get pix of the team). Sitting top of section 201 (last row).

Sharks won't carry VGK merch.

Let's clinch this on ice, not watching a scoreboard
