Fanpuck33 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Dang, if the Rangers could have won in regulation the Islanders would have been eliminated. Carolina is now eliminated, I believe, as they can at best tie Montreal, but Montreal has the tie breaker. Pretty sure that Montreal can clinch with one more win.

A NYR win would have clinched for them, and they almost assuredly would have started Lundqvist. If the Islanders had lost, there would be one less team trying to catch us.

Fanpuck33 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Islanders play the Leafs next Thursday, thats why it's a good thing that they are still in the race So? A loss would have eliminated them tonight. They still would want to beat Toronto, as they would want to play spoiler to everyone else trying to make the playoffs. Now the Habs will likely have to face Lundqvist AND the Islanders aren't eliminated. Best case scenario: NYI beat Toronto on Thursday and Montreal beats NYR. This eliminates Toronto. Then if Philadelphia beats NYI Saturday afternoon, the Islanders are eliminated. This would allow Montreal to play Huet in a meaningless game against Toronto to see how he does back in game action.

Jean Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 So? a loss wouldn't have eliminated them tonight mm yes it would had With a loss they would had been 36-31-12 for 84 points with 3 games left to play, the best they could had made is 39-31-12 90, which means loosing the win tie breaker to MTL if they loose their last 2 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if Philadelphia beats NYI Saturday afternoon, the Islanders are eliminated. This would allow Montreal to play Huet in a meaningless game against Toronto to see how he does back in game action. Here is the situation. If we win either of our final games NYI can't catch us. Even if we get 2 overtime losses they can't catch us. The Islanders are not a serious worry. If we get at least 1 more point than T.O. on Thursday then Toronto can't catch us. Thus we clinch a spot if we win Thursday and Toronto doesn't. On the other hand, no matter what happens Thursday we will have a chance to qualify for the playoffs on Saturday (if we aren't already in).

Easy Ryder Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I do not think like the idea of going in Toronto for a do or die game. The best effort should Be good enough to beat the Rags Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Here is the situation. If we win either of our final games NYI can't catch us. Ah yes, true. If the Habs and Islanders both win on Thursday, the Habs clinch. I was having trouble visualizing the situations without the updated standings last night.

MAK Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 heres another possibility while a little unlikely. should Atlanta and the rangers lose both of their last games in regulation while we win both of ours we'd be 6th and could take revenge for what tampa made us suffer 3 years ago.
