The Sabres couldn't play either the Canes or the Rags in the 2nd round, so we're talking conference finals if at all. So, I'm going for the Canes so they have a shot at the first round upset.

 

The scenario I'd like the most is Sabres, Habs, Canes beat the division winners (just like last year) and Sabres-Habs in round 2. Who's with me?

 

Replace "Canes" with "Rags" and I'm with you because I would rather not see the Sabres face the toilet swirls in round 3.

A bit fuzzy. Canes are in right? Tonight's game has no impact.

 

Never mind. Canes with game in hand, Rangers with more wins, the Canes win they're in (or go to OT). Need one point. Geez, who to cheer.

 

I'm betting against Canes.

No--Canes must win and must do so in regulation or in overtime; a shootout win doesn't work for them (according to the Rangers broadcasters).

Carolina needs a win in OT or regulation - 1 point does them no good.

 

If they win in a shootout, what happens then? They'd still be tied in the ROW with the Rangers.

If the Canes win in a SO, then both teams have 35 ROW. So that means the Rangers hold the season series lead?

Yea I hate the swirlys so they need to lose but idk if Tampa has it. Should be some good times, wont see a 50 second no one wants to do anything end to this game. Having carolina eliminated would be awesome!

Really? What if Carolina is up 3 with 50 seconds left? This happens all the time in blowout games.

No its Carolina with a 2-1-1 record against the rags. Is that the second tiebreaker?

<_< Could happen sure. but i dont see a blowout in this one.

If Carolina dies tonight, it would be their second playoff death this week. They were dead and buried when Buffalo beat them. Then the Rangers gave them knew life.

Yes, it's more points, then more ROW, then winner of head-to-head. After that, probably division record. So if that's the record, Carolina wins period and they're in.

I thought I heard that Carolina holds all tiebreakers.

They would be tied in regulation wins in a shootout scenario.

 

But Carolina has a 2 point advantage in the head to head series.

 

Rangers need a Tampa Win.

Although that TB win can come in reg/ot/so as long as the swirlys lose they are gone cuz the rags won.

The playoffs are going to have some difficult teams in the 7,8 spots.

 

 

Carolina (presumably), Buffalo, Chicago and Anaheim. Top seeds beware.

This would not be the first time that announcers are wrong. Yes, that's the next tiebreaker.

I pay little attention to the West. I noticed something rather astonishing as I was looking at the difference in standings between now and Jan 1.

 

Since being 25-18-6 on January 24th, Colorado has gone 4-26-2. Wow. That's 4 wins in 32 games and 3 of those 4 wins came in the shootout. What happened to Colorado?
