It's been a long four years, the return of the magic number thread

Rangers on the ropes

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Two down, Rangers gone barring 3 goals in 3 minutes

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

So that leaves Detroit (long, long shot) or Columbus, who we have the tie breakers on.

Not if they win out and we don't get a RW.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Not if they win out and we don't get a RW.

Only if Columbus wins all games in regulation. If they have OT win, we get in with any two points

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

3 down, Detroit is out.

Any two points now pending OT result.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Columbus has to win all games remaining. If they lose tomorrow, we in

Backing into the playoffs.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Backing into the playoffs.

You don't back in when you have more points and tiebreakers

 

[Rolex]

Hawks scored 4 goals and went into SO against best team in NHL….

Players better not think Monday is a gimme

If you get in without winning it's illegitimate, like a welfare point for losing a game.

You go into the playoffs by the front door when you win, not when you wait for other teams to lose for you.

We'll go into Wednesdays game needing a win to clinch.

 

[Rolex]

They’ve been winning for 2 months now

 

[Habsy]

This point did allow them the opportunity to win in OT/SO on Monday. Doesn't need regulation.

I think we clinch Monday, but it’ll be OT or SO (maybe even Demi who clinches)

We won more games. That is the legitimacy

Yep and now Columbus cannot lose AND if wins are not in regulation, we just need 1 point

Oh ffs

Don't mind Wehave, he always overreacts to games we tie or don't beat Leafs
