Guys the playoffs can still be decided by how we do, and not by the teams around us do. We just need to win 4 straight (hoping they are all in regulation), here is some research I did to prove my point:

Minnesota Wild: 3 Games Remaining (Col, Cgy, Col) - 93 Points
Calgary Flames: 5 Games Remaining (Edm, Van, Edm, Min, Van) - 90 Points
Colorado Avalanche: 3 Games Remaining (Min, Van, Min) - 90 Points
Nashville Predators: 4 Games Remaining (Det, Stl, Stl, Chi) - 86 Points
Vancouver Canucks: 4 Games Remaining (Cgy, Col, Edm, Cgy) - 86 Points

If we win all 4 of our games we will have a max of 94 points.
Minny will have a max of 99 points.
Colorado will have a max of 94 points. (Wins the tie-breaker vs. Canucks)
Calgary will have a max of 96 points.
Nashville will have a max of 94 points. (Wins the tie-breaker vs. Canucks)

Now look at who the teams play. Minnesota plays Colorado twice and Calgary once. If Minny wins all 3, then Colorado will have a max of 90 points and Calgary will have a max of 94 points (we win the tie breaker vs. Calgary). So this means we go ahead of Calgary AND Colorado. But what if Minnesota loses ALL 3 games you might ask? Well they will still have 93 points, and we will have 94 points. Yes it is very much possible for us to be infront of Minnesota.

Remember these stats are all based on regulation wins only. (If Colorado loses all 3 in OT, we still make it though

)

This may be a bit confusing at first, but read it over again to understand it better.

4 games might be hard to win vs. divisional opponents but it is very well possible.

Well, with the Oilers winning tonight the Canucks are now tied for 10th. And the teams they're tied with are going well. By tomorrow night the Canucks should have 10th solidly sown up and be well on the way to 11th.

Hey! Look on the positive side; we can still finish ahead of the Kings. Maybe.

how are we tied for 10th ? :huh:

nashville has 86 pts, 4 games remaining - they're 8th because of their 1 more win than us
edmonton also has 86 pts now, 2 games remaining - they're 10th still because they only have 2 games left.
and then WE also have 86 pts, 4 games remaining - we're 9th because we have 2 games in hand.

so tell me WHY we would be tied for 10th?
unless i said something wrong, i'm sure i'm right.

I suppose technically we're still in 9th at this moment. It's all academic though.

nuckies go 3-0-1 and we should make the playoffs

If we go 3-1 odds are we make it.

If we go any less than that I dont think we can make it.
