Foo202 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Canucks cant clinch against Minnesota. Minnesota could still technically catch up to us even if we beat them tomorrow, as unlikely as it is. If Canucks win tomorrow, and then lose every single game of the regular season, and the Wild win every game, both clubs will finish with 101 points, but Canucks will only have 46 wings in comparison to the Wilds 47 wins which would edge us out also as it stands right now, Nashville could finish the season with 106 points and Anaheim could finish with 107 points if both clubs win every single game and Canucks lose every game.

Where's Wellwood Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 <br style="text-shadow: none;"><br style="text-shadow: none;"> You understand the OP's point. These teams play EACH OTHER, so the point potentials change due to only one of them being able to get 2 points. Not that difficult a concept. Lesser minds struggle with 2 dimensional theories like this one, leave them be. Either way, the Nucks are in, that much is obvious, and anyone with an ounce of hockey sense knows they'll probably win the President's too. <br style="text-shadow: none;"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckmonk3y Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I can see why people are getting hyped up, I mean of course we are going to make the playoffs but its pretty exciting waiting to see how early we can get that x beside our name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babych65 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The other teams do play each other but even then we haven't clinched. There are three point games. See below. There you go. We need two more wins to clinch, assuming the worst case scenario above. I know. It's obvious from some of the posts, that they haven't read most of the replies. They just agree with the op without searching to see what has already been found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 please man the horse has been beaten enough, the canucks need 5 more points, end of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordiques_fan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Why seriously talk about this again? Anybody still doubting we'll finish 1st in the Conference? At this stage of the season, with a 9 point lead over Detroit, it would take a major collapse for the Nucks to not win the West. And possibly the league. Playoff spot? Get serious...

NoShowWilly Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We actually need four. There's a whole thread about what sportsclubstats says. On page two sportsclubstats is proved wrong. /topic/298045-canucks-clinched-a-playoff-spot-tonight/">http://forum.canucks.com/topic/298045-canucks-clinched-a-playoff-spot-tonight/ Shootout wins don't count in tiebreakers. The ROW column is how many actual wins we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckschick1234 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I don't think soo.. but we will be the first team to clich a spot, I know that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray-Ferraro's-Mustache Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 If the Canucks win against Minnesota, we will move up to 101 points making it impossible for Calgary ( 2nd in the northwest ) to catch up to us, thus we clinch our division. Calgary has 10 games remaining and they sit at 81 points, even if they do win all their games and move up to 101 points if we lose all of ours after the Minnesota game we still have the division clinched. This is because of the NHL's new rule "The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout (NEW for 2010-11). This figure is reflected in the ROW column." We have 41 games won in regulation and they'd have only 38 if they won the rest of their games. Beating Minnesota would eliminate their chance of catching up to us as well, so tomorrow we can clinch ! Just thought I'd let all you Canucks fans out there know.

KamikazeWatermelon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Close, but your math is incorrect. We would need 103, not 101 to clinch our division. So many threads on this in a single day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengeance7x Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 lol sportsclubstats ran 10,000,000 simulations of this and the canucks never once finished lower then 7th. they are clinched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTW Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 This will clinch them over Calgary but not over the Wild, even with a win Monday. They will still need a win against the Avs to seal the division and a playoff spot at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchengc Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 four more will do... flames have too many SO wins plus we have the season series on them... easiest way: win our last game of the season in regulation... ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
