I remember that run. I was thinking, "welp, here we go again with an amazing post new year's run but will still fall short of the playoffs." I was, happily, in attendance for the playoff clinching game.
The Canes were at the bottom of the league alongside St Louis at the beginning of our amazing runs to the playoffs, right?

Playoff clinching game, you say? After Nino’s goal, I refreshed every sports app I had every 5 seconds waiting for the end of the Caps/Habs game.
It is a very odd feeling. The occasional bad period or a random game against the worst team in the division? But game day doesn’t fill me with existential dread anymore.
IRRC the Blues were dead freaking last for a hot minute before their run started, while Carolina was more languishing in their usual muddle in the middle of the also rans position. I did find it mildly annoying going into that playoff season that the Blues were getting all the press for their turnaround while very little was said about Carolina's nearly equal change of fortune.
On TV Forslund kept us appraised of both games. And of course the provided clip has it.
My memory ... ever reliable
Detroit ran away with it in 2005-06, with 124 points, 11 more than Ottawa. We jockeyed With Ottawa all season, missing the top spot in the East by 1 point.

Our old friend Bates Battaglia and his brother Anthony are expanding on their success with Lucky B's and opening a new club called "Teets"--named after their late mobster grandfather!--in Glenwood South.

Teets has to be a strip club and milkshake bar
I wish 'em the best, but those big bars are a huge financial risk ... and no offense to Gramps, but Teets is a dumb name.

Ned only needs 3 games to be a RFA and playoff games count. Should be no problem to get 3 before the playoffs

With 2 sets of back to backs and the playoffs should be easy

Teets are one of life’s greatest inventions, no complaints here!
Given the gap between the level he and Mrazek are at compared to Reimer ... yeah, shouldn't be a problem.
I don’t think they can clinch until tomorrow. Theoretically, both Chicago and Dallas can catch them. If Chicago wins out in regulation, they’d have 67 points and 23 RW, both to tie the Canes. But they’d have 29 ROW, more than the Canes. If Dallas wins out, they get to 70 points.
A Canes win tomorrow closes out Chicago. Combined with a Dallas regulation loss, it’s over.
