Odds of the Wings making it to the playoffs for the 122 year in a row?

According to sportsclubstats.com, they have a 0.8% chance of making it.

Right, I watched them against Pittsburgh, and I declare that Detroit will actually make it this year. Their goalie is really spectacular, Zetterberg leads the way, Ott is a bastard and there is a new desperation to the team. You heard it from me first.

Ugh, Detroit needs like 40 points in remaining 23 games to make it. They have a relatively easy schedule but it's not going to happen. Too weak on defense.

The same site gives the Jets a 13.1% chance of making it.  Pretty tough, but not impossible.  The Jets have looked fantastic though the last three games, so there's still some hope.

Hurts to lose Trouba for 2 games though.  Ah well should be a good one tonight - Laine vs Matthews, the re-match.

Never! THIS IS THEIR YEAR!

I mean the President's Trophy winner always wins the Stanley Cup! Right?

I don't know about the Stanley Cup, but I really struggle to imagine the Leafs beating the Caps in a 7 game series.

I was watching the Ducks-Kings game last night - if the Kings could have won in regulation it would have been a Calgary-Edmonton series.  But it was not to be.   Oilers-Sharks should be entereating - Flames-Ducks probably not so much.

Good matchup all around. There is a real possibilities of 5 Canadian teams in the 2nd round.

I have no faith in Washington winning even 1 round.

[HVC]

Never say never, but it's a young team, and while talented the playoffs are a totally different animal. As long as they put up a fight against Washington I'll be pleased.

The Caps have a magical regular season and then get humiliated by some weak Canadian team in the first round? IMPOSSIBLE!!!111

In my world 2010 is just a big empty hole in the calendar.

A 2010, the year of all hope.

Hopefully some Bluejacket player will cripple whiny boy Sidney Crosby.

Fuck you!

The Pens will walk over Columbus, even without Letang.

Somebody is overly attached to dirty whiny players.

It's a Quebec thing. If you're not a Montreal fan you have to be a penguins fan. Ontarios contrarian fan team is Montreal.

Atleast it's not the Bruins.

Eastern Quebec thinks Sid is theirs because he played Junior there.
