Magic number down to 12 (assuming Columbus won't catch us in RWs), 13 if you don't assume.

11 v Rangers

11 Red Wings

10 Islanders

Hopefully down to single digits tonight

Palestinian chicken is still the greatest episode. And there were plenty of them.

Subtract 2 from each number above

NYR have the tiebreaker on all team fighting for last wildcard spot.

 

[GrandWazoo]

If we play .500, NYR needs to go 5-1-0 to beat us.

 

[lecoqsportif]

If we play .500, NYR needs to go 5-1-0 to beat us.

They have TBL twice, FLA and CAR.

And the fishstix, who I assume hate them.

 

[Sal_Butera]

If we play .500, NYR needs to go 5-1-0 to beat us.

2pts vs Preds tomorrow pretty much gives the Habs a stranglehold on the 2nd wildcard spot

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Down to 9 v Rangers, and Red Wings
8 v Islanders and Columbus

We controlled our destiny from the beginning. Good on them that during the recent 5 game losing streak everyone else around them lost winnable games as well.

Nashville is a big game tonight.

 

[Rolex]

Down to 9 v Rangers, and Red Wings
8 v Islanders and Columbus

How does it work ? 9 vs Rangers ?

Means we need 9pts to eliminate them ?

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yep. Combo of us getting and/or them dropping nine points. Magic # dropped from 13 to 9 yesterday.

Merci LeCoq

Technically it is 9 against Columbus but I made the assumption they won't get ahead of us in RW as we are now 3 ahead of them.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Down to 6 v Columbus, they now have to win AT LEAST 4 more in regulation in their last six than we do (or 7 more points than we do in our last six)

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I think the Rangers are the only team we need to worry about now (barring our own complete collapse, of course)
