I like your beard.
WEST:
P-Vancouver 2 GR
Y-San Jose 3 GR
Y-Detroit 3 GR
Nashville 2 GR
Phoenix 3 GR
Los Angeles 3 GR
Anaheim 3 GR: Sharks, Kings, Kings
Chicago 3 GR: Blues, Wings, Wings
_______
Dallas (2 pt back from 7 and 8) 3 GR: Avs, Avs, Wild
Calgary (2 pt back from 7 and 8) 2 GR: Oilers, Canucks
So, basically, Calgary needs a grouping of losses from Anaheim, Chicago and Dallas to get in. All 3 teams hold better ROW #s. Dallas needs one of Anaheim or Chicago to choke, but also holds a lower ROW than both teams. Chicago and Anaheim need to win out to secure a spot (assuming Dallas wins out). The toughest roads belong to Calgary and Chicago (IMO). Calgary would need Chicago or Anaheim to lose out to get in, merely because they hold the tie break, along with Dallas losing 2 of 3. God speed to all.
EAST:
Y-Washington 2 GR
X-Philadelphia 2 GR
Y-Boston 3 GR
X-Pittsburgh 2 GR
X-Tampa Bay 2 GR
X-Montreal 2 GR
Buffalo 2 GR
New York Rangers 2 GR
________
Carolina (4 points from 8th) 3 GR
The big story in the East is can Carolina squeak in. They have 3 games remaining against the Wings, Thrashers, and Lightning. Basically, they need to win out (clean, no shootouts) and hope New York drops one and wins in a shootout, or drops two. It's possible. But the Canes have a rough remaining schedule to work through with the Wings and Ning. The seeding has some room for adjustment up top as well, with the Pens being only 2 back on Philly for the division. However, in order to win the Pens would need Philly to lose both (or 0-1-1) because Philly holds the ROW tiebreaker. Also Washington pulled ahead for the #1 seed, although it would seem they have that locked (2 point lead on Philly, 4 point lead on Pitt)
