Given tonight's results and their games in hand they may be able to withstand a loss. Beating them would minimize their chances of getting the sixth spot, too.Dang, now I kinda want the Caps to lose on Thursday because either WPG or NYR missing the playoffs would be more fun...
Would we qualify as perennial SE Division Champions then?
Last time I bet money on Pens
Depends on health for me.Not sure I want the Isles over the Sens in 6th place.
I'm not opposed to Isles. We have a history with Rangers last years and new opponent will be more interesting.
Also they aren't physical much or threatening with monster shots which could lead to less injuries for Caps.
Navokov is not big. Tavares is not experienced. All you need to win against them is there and it's fully doable.
Rangers - it will be another hard and long series. And maybe boring.
And let Sens kill Pens and Cooke in a series.
im still hoping for the leafs
im still hoping for the leafs
with there last 3 games vs the SE i doubt they fall
they've been pretty brutal the last couple of games theres still hope.
They need to sack the ****
up and welcome all challengers.
This is year 6 in the playoffs.
Fretting about the Islanders' speed or Ottawas goalie should be beneath them.
Canucks fans are going through something similar right now, but I've learned against hoping for opponents in the past. In theory, Ottawa seems like the worst potential first round match up, but you never really know how a seven game series will unfold.
