April 8, 201510 yr Author comment_114471 Minnesota +2 = 98 pts (claim 1st Wild card spot) Quack! I thought they've clinched a playoff spot but not the 1st wild card spot. Wild have a couple tough games to close the season (Nashville and St. Louis) - they lose out and we win out, we have more points. My bad. Who wants to play Anaheim tho? That team is together. Hockey gods were not on LA's side tonight Well they did get that goal from center ice.
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114473 I'm not sure whether my heart can stand it. We win 1 more game or Kings lose 1 more and we're in. Big game against the Avs on Thursday and here's hoping the Flames beat the Kings too. Minnesota +2 = 98 pts (claim 1st Wild card spot) Quack!

As of right now, the 2nd wild card team would play Anaheim, wouldn't they. They have 107 points to the Blues 105. Blues, Preds and Hawks have tougher last 2 games than Anaheim has as well.
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114477 Just to clarify, The Kings need to lose in regualtion for us to make the playoffs. If they win and we lose to the Avs in regualtion, the Flames game is huge. If we make the playoffs on Thursday and cannot make the 1st wild card spot, I would play Hutch on Saturday and also rest some people and see what Copp and others look like.
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114509 Not exactly. Most kings can get is 97 points. We have 96. We win one game or go 1-0-1. Kings can win out and we still in.
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114511 It would be nice to win tomorrow and end it there. Let Pavelec sit the final game of the season.

April 8, 201510 yr comment_114543 If the kings lose in regulation they are done. If jets win in regulation or ot or Shootout and kings win. Kings are done
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114581 haha not sure if you are disagreeing with me or not? all i know is, the Jets will beat the Avs tomorrow and clinch a spot.
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114592 It would be nice to win tomorrow and end it there. Let Pavelec sit the final game of the season. Honestly I would keep playing Pav all the way regardless. One game of rest... I don't see the value. Change as little as possible because the team is rolling and you don't want to knock them off course.
April 8, 201510 yr comment_114594 if the Jets clinch tomorrow, it's an interesting decision for Maurice. Not playing Pavs on Saturday leaves a pretty long lay off before the Playoffs. On the other hand, shouldnt they get Hutch some game action? Knowing Maurice, he'd say Pavs wants to play and Pavs deserves to play.

One game of rest... I don't see the value. Change as little as possible because the team is rolling and you don't want to knock them off course. If the Jets win today (please), you'll see all healthy press box players and dancing gabe in the line-up against Calgary.

If the Jets win today (please), you'll see all healthy press box players and dancing gabe in the line-up against Calgary. I think that depends on whether we have a chance at the first wild card spot...if Minny wins tonight, we don't have a chance but if we win and Minny loses, we still have a chance at the first wild card spot.
April 9, 201510 yr comment_114741 Speculation abounds that some guys are very banged up. Clinching tonight and it might be more valuable to give them the long rest than shoot for one spot higher in the standings which really only benefits us if we play the Wild in the conference final.
April 9, 201510 yr comment_114742 I would rather see them play the Blues or Preds than the Ducks....my opinion.
April 9, 201510 yr comment_114752 I would rather see them play the Blues or Preds than the Ducks....my opinion. Pretty much anyone but the Ducks, at this point...
April 9, 201510 yr comment_114771 I would rather see them play the Blues or Preds than the Ducks....my opinion. Pretty much anyone but the Ducks, at this point... I bet the teams at the top are saying anyone but Winnipeg.. Winnipeg is a type of team even if you win its going to take so much out of you that it will affect you later down the road.
April 9, 201510 yr comment_114772 It'll be fun downtown tonight, if when the Jets win this game. huge party will be happening I expect.
April 9, 201510 yr comment_114786 Pacific is the easier route. Boudreau teams are soft in the playoffs and Anaheim's point total was inflated by playing 5 non playoff teams 6 times each or whatever it is. Second round looks even better if it is the winner of Van Cgy. Line the Ducks up, they're the easier target.
April 10, 201510 yr comment_114820 Won't have any trouble getting up for St Louis. Not as much emotion against ducks.
April 10, 201510 yr comment_114821 Ducks are vulnerable tho. Iffy goaltending. A few games or 2 would get it going. They could play buffalo and I'd be jacked watching it. PLAYOFFS! !! They probably don't care who they play.
