It's come right down to the wire between Columbus Carolina and Montreal. Two will make it one will miss. Who do you think misses the playoffs?

i hate the playoff format

Carolina. They have more talent than Montreal but Montreal has a much better goalie than Carolina can offer.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Habs.

 

[Taluss]

Unfortunately Habs

 

[kuzy92]

Habs aren't winning in Washington when the Caps have a chance to clinch division… However I have seen a Habs goaltender stonewall the Caps before

 

[sycamore]

I see Pittsburgh, Carolina and Columbus winning out, and Montreal getting smashed by the Caps. Au Revoir!

 

[BlueBull]

Habs most likely have to get at least a win and an over time loss, as it's hard to see columbus going winless.
2 back to back wins are ideal, but they have a very hard schedule (Washington and Toronto), and one of those teams have not given the Habs a single win this season.
Still, I was shocked the 'canes still have a chance to miss... What I will say is that Carolina will certainly not miss the playoffs.

Habs. No doubt in my mind. Columbus and Carolina have 2 straight easy wins

Habs. No doubt in my mind. Columbus and Carolina have 2 straight easy wins

Those "easy wins" are often not as easy as they seem. I remember Boston having an "easy game" against Ottawa in 2015-16 to clinch a playoff spot, at home, and the Sens won 6-1. The Bruins missed the playoffs because of it.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Montreal would be my guess as they are most likely based on schedule. That’s convinent because I’m hoping for CBJ and Carolina.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Montreal.

 

[KIRK]

Schedule is working against the Habs big time.

Then again, they haven't gotten that message over the last week plus, so who knows.

Lopsided result.
