JamesTW Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 <br />So as of right now...<br /><br />If the Canucks lose all their games, and the Mild win all of theirs, the teams end up tied at 101 and the Mild hold the tiebreaker. So we only need a single point and we don't have to worry about Minny.<br /><br />If Calgary wins all their remaining games, they'd have 103 points, and again, would take a tiebreaker with the Nux if we only had one more win (or two OTL/SOLs).<br /><br />So all we need as of right now, is three points - a win and OTL/SOL, or three OTL/SOL finishes, to make 104 points, take the NW Division title, clinch a playoff spot, *and* take at least a third-place seed.<br /><br />If the Lames lose in regulation tomorrow, then we only need a single point for all of the above to happen.<br /><br />Simple as that! <img src='/public/style_emoticons/default/towel.gif">http://forum.canucks.com/public/style_emoticons/default/towel.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /><br /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTW Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 <br />I don't understand how Calgary's magic number is 1.5. If the Canucks win tomorrow, or if Calgary loses in regulation tonight, it is impossible for them to get ahead of the Canucks, as we have the tie breaker.<br /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTW Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Calgary can be eliminated with a regulation loss tonight And Columbus can be eliminated with a loss of any kind. Calgary vs. Phoenix Columbus vs. Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBats Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Do we actually clinch? Beacuse number nine Nashville can will all there games if we lose all ours, we're out!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrotheninja Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 To answer the question I think most people are wondering, a Calgary loss (tonight) and a Vancouver win (tomorrow) clinch a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty097 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If calgary loses tonight we clinch the division automatically, they will have 10 games remaining for a maximum potential of 101 points if they were to win the rest. but even if they do that would give them 46 wins which we're already at. except they have 8 shootout wins so take away those 8 and it's 38 wins, we only have 4 so we have 42 there's nothing they can do to catch us. if calgary loses tonight we clinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBats Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 The division leaders are seeded first through third in the conference, so if we win our division, the LOWEST we can enter the playoffs would be third place, regardless of what the rest of the conference does. As of now, one point is all we need to do it. We could actually finish the season with fewer points than the 8th-seeded team, and still be seeded third by winning the division.

DesiCanuck Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 So if I am correct, if flames lose tonight they are out of the race of the NW division title, and cant finish anywhere higher then 3rd place. However Canucks can't clinch a playoff spot or the NW title due to the wild have a possibility to win all of their remaining 12 games, and finishing with 101 points and with 47 wins... Say however the wild win 2 of the games in SO while canucks lose their remaining 11 games in regulation, Canucks wouldd still clinch the NW title, due to the season series being tied or canucks winning the series or due to GF/ GA differential.. If the Canucks win tomorrow or lose in OT/ SO we clinch the NW title and a playoff spot no matter what and finish in the top 3 in the western conference.. btw flames are down 2-1 and its the end of 2nd period...

BOOM It's scenarios like this why the OP and I like to put in the extra 0.5 Then you know for sure and don't have to work out a bunch of different situations.

latiser Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you do the math, With a Calgary loss tonight regardless of Reg or OT, Canucks clinch a playoff spot because even if Minnesota won every single game Vancouver would hold all of the tie breakers, AND if and I mean IF Minny won every remaining game Vancouver could not finish below eigth place.
