Every game is huge.

Looks like Boston isn't going to play anymore games this year.

GF - do me a favour and tell the Habs to take the April 25th game off as well - they surely won't have anything to play for.

[Grey Fox]

I'll ask. No guarantee.

Leafs meanwhile are there but not quite there yet

Leafs meanwhile are there but not quite there yet

Indeed - I haven't even included the Leafs in my list of teams the Jets are chasing.

Though if they keep losing they could be out of the playoffs, and it *is* the Leafs we are talking about...

The Canadiens have been phoning it in ever since they clinched.  Not very Glorieux.

There's an interesting web site which gives mathmatical percentages for various teams to make the playoffs:

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL.html

Leafs have a 99.8% chance of making it at this point.

Jets are at 39.4%.

Yeah...that's my worry. Complete collapse.

Interesting - digging deeper sportsclub stats says that if the Jets go 4-0 in their remaining games they have a 99.9% chance of making the playoffs.  3-1 is 87.7%, and 2-2 means 32.8%

Guess their destiny really is in their own hands.

3-1 is very doable.

Go Jets Go.



Incedentally, Timmy was chanting "Go Jets Go" last night!  Mind you he wasn't chanting it at the tv, but it's the thought that counts.

if this was a regular length season this is around the time they crash and burn

[Josephus]

Well it isn't. And they didn't. All that matters.

[HVC]

Well it isn't. And they didn't. All that matters.

they still can, but it'll be the playoffs .

They way Montreal is playing there's a good chance it'll be a Montreal Toronto first round. I hope so. Don't want the leafs to play Boston.

Absolutely huge game in Washington tonight.

Nothing personal Valmy, but I'll be hoping that Ovi spontaneously combusts moments before the puck drops all day...

[Barrister]

Little over 3 hours to puck drop.

Come on Ovi, combust!  You're feeling warmer and warmer, warmer and warmer...

[PRC]

Little over 3 hours to puck drop.

Come on Ovi, combust!  You're feeling warmer and warmer, warmer and warmer...

He is leading the lead in goals so he has been pretty hot...
