If we do get in it will probably be at the isles expense. If we beat them tmo their next 3 are with the caps while we get the flyers twice and a buffalo team playing better the 2 after that and things could be very interesting If we can get a W tmo!
I agree with that. Tomorrow night is an absolute must win in regulation IMO to have any shot. Even then still very unlikely we get in, but if we want to keep our very slim chance alive we need a W tomorrow night. Reasons the Isles are the team we have the "best shot" to catch (best is a relative term - we have only a slim chance at best): 1. We play them 3 times, and play the Bruins only 2 times. 2. We have 11 games remaining, as do the Isles. 3. The Isles play Buffalo and NJ 4 total times. The Bruins play Buffalo and NJ 7 total times. We play Buffalo 2 more times (done with NJ). 4. The Bruins are playing better than the Isles currently. 5. The Isles also have 3 games left against the Caps. Turn your attention to the Isles, that is our only slim path into the playoffs. That's why last nights Isles win over Philly was big for them.
