This probably has a lot to do with it Matty...

The Oilers have gone 3-20-3 versus the Pacific Division this season.

What's even worse is that of those three wins only one is a ROW... It was against the SJ Sharks, by only a single goal (2-1), and it happened way back on December 7th.

That is comedy gold!

It's pretty amazing to think that you could have a 99 point team on the outside looking in.

Absolutely. 99 points is a great season. The price of parity in the NHL. There will be some good teams on the outside looking in.

The Kings had a hard time scoring goals all season. If they win the lottery I'm sure their fans will forgive them this year.

Two Cups in the last three seasons (four if you count this year). If that was my team, I'd be willing to forgive a lot more than missing the POs this season, even without McDavid.

I would to, I just think it would be absolutely SICK if they won the Lottery. As things are right now the Sabres could still have two lottery picks.

Theoretically, but I wouldn't count on it happening. I know the Isles have struggled here lately, but I think they can get one point over the final two games.

Hopefully the Penguins will start Fleury. Okposo has had some of his best games against him. Tavares had a three point night against Philly so he's obviously playing a bit better.

Needing a point also assumes that Ottawa wins out. Since NYI have the ROW tie breaker, if Ottawa is anything less than perfect in their last two games, the Isles wouldn't need anything.
