Correcting myself here…as Andy correctly mentioned in today’s GDT, we need two points—not one—through a regulation win to ensure finishing second overall.
Also, the 16 playoff teams are now set; everyone else has been officially eliminated. The only issues to resolve are seeding and the aforementioned Pacific division title.
This will be more appropriate for tomorrow's GDT, but it would be nice if we can pick up at least one more point, as that will ensure that we finish ahead of Dallas for the second best record overall. If we make it to the Finals and by some miracle, the Avs do not, we would have home ice then, too.
Reminds me of my recent stints on the IL when I was behind the bench for my beer league team...the refs told me I didn't need to, but I wore my helmet and shield anyway.
