How about those Senators ... Look for the Sabres to come out hitting hard, no easy ones for the Pens lol
 
Caps - 99 points, 2 games left, 39 ROW's
Isles - 98 points, 2 games left, 39 ROW's
Wings - 97 points, 2 games left, 38 ROW's
Pens - 96 points, 2 games left, 38 ROW's
Bruins - 95 points, 3 games left, 37 ROW's
Sens - 95 points, 2 games left, 35 ROW's
 
It's going to be an interesting final two games. Can you imagine if the Pens didn't make the playoffs?
 
The Wings are at the Habs (no Pac) and at the Canes. You have to figure 2 points at least. Leaves them at 99/39.
The Pens host the Isles and play at Buffalo. You have to figure 2 points at least. Leaves them at 98/39.
The Bruins are at the Caps, at the Panthers, at TB. Can they get 4 points? To me 100% that is what they need to avoid 8 and a series with us. If they only get 2 points they will be at 97/38. Get 3 points and they are at 98/38. Not good enough. Will finish 8th. They need 4 points IMO.
The Sens are at NYR and at Philly. Get 2 points they will be at 97/36. Get 3 points they will be at 98/36. Not good enough unless the Bruins only get 2 points. They need 4 points also.

So root for the Isles to beat the Pens AND then hope the Bruins and/or Sens can get 4 points. That would leave the Pens at 98 points and the Bruins and/or Sens at 99 points. All must start with an Isles win at Pitt Thursday night.
 
I was saying all season that Halak and the isles d is questionable. They cant even beat the crappy flyers to clinch the playoff spot.

I am still giving them a win at Buffalo on Saturday. So that means in order for them to miss the playoffs the Pens MUST lose to the Isles in regulation AND the Bruins AND Sens must get 4 points each.

If that happens it will end with the Pens at 98/39. The Bruins at 99/39 AND the Sens at 99/37.

Only shot IMO. Isles must beat the Pens in regulation AND the Bruins and Sens must each get 4 points.
 
For us to play the Pens round 1 the Pens MUST lose in regulation to the Isles and the Bruins OR Sens must get 4 points (unless you think the Bruins can go 6 for 6) .

Pens end at 98/39. Bruins OR Sens end at 99/39 (Bruins) or 99/37 (Sens).
 
Rangers should completely tank it vs Ottawa. I would play half our AHL team.
 
Funny...it certainly wouldn't be bad for us if Ottawa won. Issue is since we are so tight against the cap we only have 1 extra forward. So someone will sit, but it will only be one. Maybe Nash or Stepan?

It is crazy how close things are. The Isles/Pens game tomorrow night is huge. The Bruins/Caps game tonight is real big. OT would be the best thing for us. But if it ends in regulation root for the Bruins so they can stay out of 8th. Then hope the Caps get a point or points against us Saturday so they stay above 8th for sure.

Best thing for us is the Isles beat the Pens in regulation tomorrow night. If that happens then the Isles/Caps are locked in for sure round 1. Then hope Boston gets 4 points to finish ahead of Ottawa and Pitt.

Because of the Buffalo game I view the Pens at 98/39. So again that means the Sens/Bruins need 99 points to finish ahead of them (and that assumes the Pens lose to the Isles in regulation). So to me one of Ottawa or Boston needs to get 4 points in their last 2 for Ottawa and 3 for Boston.

So here is the rooting guide: Go Bruins tonight (I would love OT in that game). Go Isles tomorrow night in regulation (locks in Isles/Caps round 1). Then hope the Bruins at least split at Florida and at TB (after beating the Caps tonight) AND/OR Ottawa wins both of their games at NYR and at Philly and both end with 99 points. The Pens would then be out at 98 points. And we'd play Ottawa since Boston would have the TB over them. OR if Ottawa only gets 3 points or less we'd play the 98 point Pens in round 1. Boston with 99 points would play TB or Montreal depending on which team wins the division and what Detroit does in their last 2 games.
 
If this score holds up and the Caps beat the Bruins (lead 3-0 after 2), it looks more and more likely we'll play the Bruins unless the Bruins win their last two games at Florida and at TB OR they lose their last two games at Florida and at TB.

Bruins will be at 80 games played, 95 points, 37 ROW's. The Pens worst case will win at Buffalo IMO. Which puts them at 98 points and 39 ROW's. Which means even if the Bruins get 3 of their possible 4 remaining points they will end at 98/38...hence they lose the TB to the Pens and will be behind them.

Flip to the Bruins and Sens. The Bruins own the TB. So that means the Sens need to pass the Bruins not tie them. So if the Bruins win tomorrow night at Florida they will end at 97/38. So the Sens will need 3 of their possible 4 remaining points to pass the Bruins and end at 98/36. Sens are at NYR and at Philly (unlikely they get 3 of 4 IMO).

Flip to the Wings. 97/38 right now. At the Habs (no Pac) and at the Canes. Worst case 99/39. So ahead of the Bruins unless they win out and also end at 99/39 (the Bruins would then own the TB).

So I really think we are playing the Bruins round 1 as I thought the other day. AND knowing the Wings and Pens are each going to win one game at least IMO, I think our best bet now is actually the Bruins lose both games in Florida and the Sens get 1 or 2 points in their last two games and the Bruins miss the playoffs and the Sens get in at 8 and we play them. I think there is a better chance the Bruins get 0 or 1 point and the Sens get 2 points and finish ahead of Boston. Back to back at Florida tomorrow night, and then at TB on Saturday night who will need that game to have a shot at the Atlantic division.

So it looks like Boston to me, and I think 95% it will be Boston or Ottawa (unless you think Boston can go 4 for 4).

Plus side, we now cannot play the Caps in round 1, and they were by far the team I least wanted to play in the 1st round.
 
Go Sens Go...:).

Nash, Zucc, and Staal all resting tonight.

And some more bad news...I just got tickets for game 1 (should be next Thursday). $275 a pop...
 
How many of you held your breath when Zinbanejad fell
on Hank in the first period? I know I did. Take nothing
for granted. I wanted Hank to sit this one out. But..................
he plays on. Score: 0-0 end of one.
 
I know Al...I have been bad luck this season. Hopefully the streak ends next week.

I am sure he will sit Saturday along with 3 different guys.
 
Don't they practice their PP?????????????????????
 
Hank dropped one in the net for Ottawa.
 
I am honestly just fine with them losing this game. For one, keeps pressure on Boston and Pitt. Secondly, it forces the Isles to actually have to get into the playoffs and not back in.
 
Ottawa should be ashamed of themselves if they don't win. You're playing a game against a team resting players.
 
Calgary up 2-0 in the first over LA. Tonight could be it for the Kings. Bruins tied 1-1 with Florida.
 
Kings lose in regulation and they are elminated. That would be a wow.

2-1 Panthers. If the Bruins lose the Sens would need 1 point at Philly to clinch a playoff spot and most likely would play us. I will say this right now, we play the Sens and we win in 5 tops.

At 3-1, I think the Bruins are done ...
 
If that score holds, you have to figure the Sens would get 1 point at Philly with their playoff lives on the line. But who knows what will happen. I didn't think the Bruins would no show tonight.
 
I 100% thought they'd make the playoffs. And I thought the past few days we would play them, but Boston is not that good this season. If we got them in round 1 we'd beat them. Rather play the Sens, but we wouldn't lose to the Bruins IMO.

3-2 now...not over yet.
 
Boston and LA can both be out. Crazy stuff.
 
It is pretty crazy. Who knows which team we will play.

Detroit and the Isles 98 points each.
Ottawa 97 points.
Pens 96 points.
Bruins 95 points.

The winner of the Isles/Pens game tomorrow night is locked in higher than 8 IMO.

If you figure worst case the Pens win at Buffalo Saturday, then Ottawa needs 1 point OR Boston needs to miss out on 1 point to elminate Boston.

I now think we will play the Pens (if they end at 98 points) OR the Sens (if they end at 97 points).

I expect TB to beat Boston since they are still playing for the Atlantic, but if Montreal goes up early at Toronto TB will have nothing to play for. Then Boston can clearly win that game, forcing Ottawa to get a point at Philly, which is no lock with Mason in net.

This really is wide open right now with regards to which team we'll play. I think we'll go into Saturday with potential to play 4 teams (I don't count the Isles/Pens winner...even if it is the Pens I think they'll get to 100 if they beat the Isles since they will beat the Sabres).

We can also play Detroit as well. Isles beat the Pens, Pens beat the Sabres and end at 98, Ottawa beats the Flyers and ends at 99, Detroit gets beat at Carolina and ends at 98. We'd play the Wings since the Pens would own the TB due to an extra ROW.

Crazy..
 
Chuck, stop making predictions. You said the Sens were done like a week ago. And of course LA makes a one goal game. So sick of this team. Calgary, please hold on so we don't have to see LA in the playoffs.
 
Calgary wins 3-1 so the LA Kings are eliminated. The Jets and Flames are in.
 
Like I said, I 100% thought the Bruins would make the playoffs. And over the past week I thought we would play them. I did not expect them to no show against the Caps and Panthers. And then the Sens get a huge break and play us after we clinched everything and had nothing to play for. Good for them for taking full advantage of it.

It is wide open now with regards to which team we'll play. Could be any of 4 teams (the winner tonight we cannot play once the Pens beat the Sabres tomorrow).

Bruins, Sens, Wings, Isles/Pens.

I am not going to even try and predict which team we'll play of that group. The Wings can lose at the Canes. The Sens could beat Philly. Boston can upset TB. Anything can happen in one game.

Crazy finish.
