Jackets still alive. I hope they take Detroit out...

[Kovy27]

Damn you, Winnipeg. For crying out loud!

It all fell apart when Washington went up to Winnipeg and won back to back games.

Jackets/Detroit/Minnesota all playing for the 7-8 holes in the west. Could be an entertaining weekend.

I believe a loss by the Islanders tonight in regulation, locks them into the 8th seed.

Rangers would have ROW tiebreaker on them. Ottawa would have Points in H2H games tiebreaker on them.

Saturday will be interesting. Detroit is going to Dallas while Columbus hosts Nashville. Columbus has a reasonable shot to knock off Detroit. Minnesota is home against Edmonton and on Saturday are on the road in Colorado. Not great competition. All Detroit needs is one point, Minnesota needs one win from either of those games. I think. It's still early in the am.

Minnesota clinches a playoff berth with a win tonight against Edmonton. Wild need just 2 points over their last 2 games to clinch.

Detroit clinches a playoff berth tomorrow (22nd in a row) if it gets at least 1 pt vs. Dallas or if CBJ lose in regulation to Nashville.

Columbus would clinch a playoff berth tomorrow if it beats Nashville and the Red Wings lose to Dallas in regulation.

3 teams going for the last 2 spots. Not sure what happens if the Wild lose both games. Columbus NEEDS to win, regardless.

Minny needs 2 points out of the 2 games to lock up a spot, Detroit needs 1 point out of their game to lock up a spot. Columbus needs 2 points and one of those teams to not reach those goals in order to make it.

Yep. If I were a 'Peg fan, I'd be devastated.

This weekend is going to be fun. I'm pulling for #Lumbus.

I'd like to see DET out for four years or so to see if other teams' ignoramus fans will accuse them of "tanking for years on end."

Am I the only person that thinks Erik Karlsson will likely be terrible in the playoffs?

[Idoit40fans]

I don't know about that, but I expect that it won't matter. I don't think they're going anywhere.

[meow]

His steroid use will propel him to a good playoff.

[Fire0nice228]

Lets go Sabres.

If they beat the Isles tonight we play the Isles no matter what happens tomorrow. Not that I think any series is a 'gimme', and the Islanders do seem to give the Penguins more trouble than they should, I suspect the Islanders to be just like the pens in 2007, just happy to be there, and that they should be able to be disposed of fairly efficiently by a healthy and souped up penguins squad.

He was a little rusty, but all things considered, I thought he looked fine last night.

[Gaucho]

Do the Wild know they can clinch?

How is Corey Freaking Potter a regular on any NHL team?

[Gaucho]

Yeoikes.

[sharpshootr55]

6-0 on 11 shots. That's hilarious lol.

[TheGhostofGoulet]

The Minnesota Wild; clinching a playoff spot is too mainstream.

[the wicked child]

Way to be a negative nancy. It's 6 goals on 12 shots.

Minnesota has 27, btw.

[Kaizer]

OT for the isles.

[shafnutz05]

Horrible night for Minnesota. Makes tomorrow night very exciting

[pens#1]

Does an ot loss give us the isles?

[Kovy27]

Does an ot lose give us the isles?

No, they jump to 6th.

[profpolisci]

The Blackhawks don't have a switch
