Habs magic number

[TimStrickland]

Montreal record right now: 24-18-9 = 57 points
51 games played
5 games remaining
Habs can get maximum 67 points if they win their last 5 games- 5-0-0



Calgary record right now :22-25-3= 47 points
50 games played
6 games remaining
They can get 59 points maximum (only if they win all their remaining games -6-0-0= 12 points)

Vancouver record right now :19-23-3 =41 points
45 games played
11 games remaining
The canucks can get 63 points maximum if they win all their remaining games 11-0-0 =22 points)

Clinching scenarios:

So if th habs go 1-0-1 the habs get 60 pts. And flames are out regardless of what they do since they can get 59 points only if they win all their remaining games.

If the canucks lose their next two they can get 59 points only if they win all their remaining games.

So the habs need to

win their next two games(2-0-0 )61 points

or get 3 points of 4 (1-0-1) 60 points

And hope for 2 canucks loss in regulation

And we're in the playoffs.

Canucks just lost to the oilers 5-3. Their record is 19-24-3.

So right ow the canucks can get maximum 61 pts only if they win all their games.

So another VAN loss with 3 points of

4 (1-0-1) from habs in the next two games and its over, we clinch

It's 3 points right? Flames have the tie-break.


(Edit I'm just assuming the Canucks won't catch up)
