GDT: [Official] 2015 Playoff Race Thread Part III - The final 4 days

[ps241]

Look at the sticky GDT thread we have going. Everyone is in there.

Have a look at our GDT.

Ahhhhh ok I thought this was your GDT and I was thinking I would hate to play poker against you guys. Jets board is a mess comparatively.

Now it’s all making sense





Ok now I am laughing really hard I just dropped over and you guys are 31 pages deep and probably going to be on Thread #2 before puck drop. Glad to see you are human too.

Dear Flames and fans, we are watching.

 

[Picaroon]

You guys got this!!! Go Flames Go!!

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Let's go guys!!We want you in the playoffs!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Hoorah! Flames make it!

Welcome to the playoffs boys!

 

[Snot Rocket]

Love you guys right now.
Grats!

The East tho

Yeah I guess we do need to know who we might meet up with during the finals

There is still the matter of home ice. If we beat Winnipeg in OT or a SO and the Canucks lose in regulation we steal home ice.

Hartley was the only coach to get the Atlanta franchise to the playoffs previous to this year, now he got us here

Wow sick reference

Btw, red mile sounds a little bits from here

 

[Lunatik]

Updated.

The Flames, Jets, Wings and Islanders have all clinched now.

All 8 teams in the west are set, but only 1 playoff matchup is set and that still needs to have home ice determined.

West Playoffs Potential Match-ups

Central Division Semi-Final
(1) St. Louis Blues vs (WC) Minnesota Wild/Winnipeg Jets/Chicago Blackhawks
(2) Nashville Predators vs (3) Chicago Blackhawks/Minnesota Wild

Pacific Division Semi-Final
(1) Anaheim Ducks vs (WC) Winnipeg Jets/Minnesota Wild/Chicago Blackhawks

I think I have all the possible playoff match-ups listed

Part 2 will be filled by morning. Huge wins on Tuesday by Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa and Edmonton. The west playoff race could be decided on Thursday in the Flames/Kings match.

It's kinda funny how not too long ago we all thought the East was decided and now they still have 5 teams fighting for 4 playoffs spots and will almost certainly go to the final day of the season.

Minnesota could still sneak into 3rd in the Central

Minnesota could still sneak into 3rd in the Central

Yep, I have that as a possibility.

 

[Taranis]

Brad Treliving interview on TSN 1050 right now.

 

[Mobiandi]

Didn't even realize you wrote the possibilities up there. That was more of a "thinking out loud" comment, not a correction.

 

[Lunatik]

The only game that matters tonight is the Islandes/Penguins.

Pens get a single point and they clinch a playoff spot. The Islanders win and they cannot finish lower than 3rd in the Metro Division
