With the Senators’ win today over Carolina, the Wings could be eliminated as soon as Thursday night. They’re 2 pts back of Ottawa with 5 to play for each and with Ottawa owning the tiebreaker. The Wings need to play 3 points better than Ottawa the rest of the way …and even if they do they also have to look at the Metro teams. The Wings are on the brink. Quote
lordstanley Posted Monday at 04:06 PM Author Posted Monday at 04:06 PM 4 NHL games tonight. Three are West vs. West matchups. The other is between two Atlantic teams, Buffalo and Tampa, that the Wings mathematically can't catch. Not one of the four NHL games tonight has playoff implications for the Wings. Unless we are tracking potential 1st round opponents for the Wings, ha! Quote
lordstanley Posted 16 hours ago Author Posted 16 hours ago (edited) Tonight is the first time when I think that a Wings' victory - few as far between as they've been - wouldn't be a satisfactory result. The Wings need help, having to gain 3 points on Ottawa in their last 5 games. So one of the best chances of doing so is Ottawa losing to a Tampa team that is in a 3-way race for 1st place. A Wings' victory tonight over the the Jackets would put them ahead of Columbus and NYI and then the Wings have a chance to get even with Philly at LCA on Thursday, so Ottawa is the concern now. No expectations whatsoever though. Edited 16 hours ago by lordstanley Quote
Hongbit Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago (edited) They also need to be regulation wins. They can’t afford to give a free point to either CBJ or Philly Edited 11 hours ago by Hongbit 1 Quote
lordstanley Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Wings’ tragic number is 5. Any combination of Ottawa points and Detroit dropped points adding up to 5 eliminates the Wings. 4 games left for each. So for example, even if the Wings were to win their final four games (ha!) so 0 dropped points, Ottawa going 2-1-1 for 5 points would eliminate the Wings. Quote
