With nothing to play for in terms of postseason seeding, the Wild will be trying out defenseman Christian Folin & goalie John Curry tonight.

GO CALGARY TOO ... you guys hold the tiebreak if you guys win out and canucks lose out

I believe I am cheering for the Lightning tonight.

I think they need to win this one and expend so much energy doing so that they just mail tomorrow night in.

What's the second tie-break?

/We would be tied in points (81 each) and in the ROW column with 30 each, I thought it was then season series, but I could be wrong.

The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.

Same here! They win and we win and we'll face you or the Flyers with home ice in round 1.

This is going to be an exciting next 4 days.

 

[Cobiemonster]

With a win the Avs would move into first place in the Central

Rangers clinch home ice for round one!! I was therw and hammeered!!! Yesssssss

Just finished watching my tape of the Wild/Blues game.

First of all, it must be said: Mike Rupp;

Outside of that, it was a good game for the Wild - and hopefully a confidence builder. Curry was certainly impressive: Frolin? - the assist aside, not so much.

LOVED seeing Brodziak get two goals. One of my favorite 'Yeoman' NHLers: He's a true battler who always gives 100%.

Who would have thought it after last year. What a testament to Sakic up front (big 'ol Sakic up front!) and Patrick getting Varly to play like he has this season. How can Varly not win the Vezina?

fuck carolina in the vagina

canucks now sitting in 7th overall pick territory

Definitely need Carolina to record one more win on the season...

 

[mattola]

with teh way the lotto works we can move still even if we finish 7th correct? but its possible we can move to only 6th or even up to 8th if someone above us moves down. is that how it works?

Oilers slid back into 29th place (or 2nd place in draft lottery position) with their loss and Florida winning last night.
