Hate to be bearer of bad news, but the Wings are going to be officially eliminated the playoffs within the hour. Florida, NYI and Pitt are all winning big. 

Wings still garnering points though ("the Bane of Buddha") with a 7-6 shootout loss.

Currently in the 11th draft spot with 1 point either way sending them up or down a spot.

4 games to go.

another meaningless point.

They’re 5-5-1 in past 11. Playing exactly to their full season level. St. Louis is 6-2-2 in past 10. Vancouver is 5-3-2. Ottawa is 4-4-2. Buffalo is 5-4-1. Only Washington at 2-6-2 has fallen apart.

Needs to be renamed Draft Positioning Night (Hope you Fans are good with that ToNight...)

Losing 5-0 in the 2nd...

Wings have two really tough games to close out the season, on the road... Vancouver has two winnable games to close, and Washington has two difficult games to close but their last game is home against NJ so maybe they can eek out a win. 

If the Wings play their cards right... they may be able to slip into the 8th draft spot pre-lottery...

Wings performed their duties, like troopers...

Losing 6-1.

Washington wins tonight against the Islanders 5-2.

Wings are required to lose their last two games on the road against Tampa & Carolina...

Capitals & Canucks are required to each get 2 points total in their last two games...

And all will be well...

hawks win!  hawks win!

johnson scores an empty net goal with 50 seconds left to put the hawks up 3.  crosby cross checks him after the play.  why?  because cindy crosby (and evgeni malkin) - despite being one of the most talented players in nhl history will always ALWAYS be a little bitch.  always has been.  always will be.

Awesome! If I'm looking at the tiebreakers correctly, the Penguins now can't catch Florida and can only beat off NYI if the Pens win their final game and the Islanders lose in regulation.

So we are rooting for:

The Wings to lose their last game (at Tampa: guarantees 9th draft spot or better, pre-lottery),

The Caps to win their last game (at home vs. Devils: pushes Wings up to the 8th draft spot, pre-lottery, to finish the season),

The Pens to win their last game (wait for it...), and

The Islanders to lose their last game in regulation (pushes the NYI pick to #16 with the NYI's out of the playoffs... also, Calgary and Nashville wins get this pick to about its optimal, at #14).

Sounds like a plan.

We need the Pens and Caps to win and the Islanders to lose...along with us...to maximize those draft odds.  Be hilarious if the Islanders finished 16th and jumped to 6th and we finished 8th and jumped to #1.  That would be enough lotto luck to last a lifetime

Oh wait...that Islanders pick is conditional.  Still...if it rolls to next year, it would be the Canucks pick...right?  That would give us three 1st round picks...

if it rolls to next year its still the isles pick, but its unprotected.
