Maybe some masochist who has figured out all the point/seed scenarios for the last 2 days can post them. I am not that masochist.

 

[Blades of Steel]

I believe it's simply we win we get home ice, or if islanders lose their final game.
Or did you mean the whole east?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

We're wearing the red winter classic jerseys today !

 

[Blades of Steel]

big day in the NHL today, it came down to the wire for so many things, crazy.

Ottawa v. NYR if:
PIT can earn at least 1 point more than Ottawa does tomorrow & BOS loses in any fashion.
Ottawa v. TB if:
Ottawa wins & DET loses in regulation.
Ottawa v. MTL if:
DET gets any points at all. AND Ottawa matches or earns more points than PIT in their games tomorrow. AND BOS loses in any fashion.
Ottawa Out if:
Ottawa loses in regulation & BOS wins & PIT earns 1 point
EDIT To further confuse people!!!: TB and MTL can switch if TB wins tomorrow and MTL loses in regulation.

Also, there are many more scenarios concerning who the Rangers face.

Yeah, for sure, I didn't intend to present that as being every possible scenario but I figured it would be a good start on seeing how the wild card seeds would play out.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Do you put in a serious effort to increase the chances of home ice?

 

[g00n]

Now that the picture is clearer, I think yes. Trotz plays matchups and watches minutes closely. You also do not want to be playing a game 7 in Nassau in what could be the final game there ever.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Hey should bring Josh Hamilton back.

 

[hockeykicker]

#NYR Lineup Update: Rick Nash and Marc Staal will not play this afternoon..@zuccarello36 will take warmups and be game time decision...

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Rags will probably take it easy today. They have no reason to go all out against us.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

lets win and clinch home ice

 

[RandyHolt]

Long Live Texas!

h/t to OP Alex

Caps game is off the board waiting to see who we sit

 

[tycoonheart]

Metro is crazy today because of the cherry blossom festival.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Play hard, play well, and win. We've come a long way in terms of mental toughness and playing the right way, but this group hasn't had much success in the playoffs. The Rangers, who are more experienced and have had that success, can probably afford to take it easy this week and then turn it on come play-off time. We haven't earned that yet. Let's go in on a high note.

 

[RandyHolt]

I am sure I am not the only one that saw Orpik hurting after a shoulder check along the boards recently. Lets see if Orlov gets a game.

i approve this message

 

[Acallabeth]

Hoping for the home ice!

 

[HockeyHoax]

Did NBC bump this game from their schedule?
I didn't find it on their schedule for today.

 

[RandyHolt]

Washington -1.5 +190 ML -155

 

[Blades of Steel]

rangers are resting up some players? the even better reason to hit hard and often today, treat this like it's a playoff game and bust em up.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Would you give Holtby the night off ? I would.
