Well... we're in (and the playoff teams are set), but in reality the length of our stay depends on what happens tomorrow.

A win (or overtime loss) tomorrow against the Flyers guarantees us at the very minimum the WC1 spot and a win coupled with a Penguins (regulation) loss against the Rangers bumps us up to the Metro 3 spot.

A regulation loss coupled with a Blue Jackets win over the Senators would bump us down to the WC2 spot and a very quick exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

 

Thats not true, if you guys lose in ot and we win we will jump up to 7th.

At least the Rangers were putting in the effort. Hopefully they do the same thing tomorrow against the Pens.

I typed that when y'all went to OT. Was expecting a loss after they coughed it up with 6 seconds to go.

I fully expect Mrazek to get the start tomorrow.

He's at a .944 in his last five games and you know he wants to prove the Flyers wrong for giving up on him so quickly.

I'll make the Thread in the Panthers Forum after tonight's game. This is the best team in the Carolina's Professionally, unless you want to include the Durham Bulls.

Avoid Tampa at all cost and tell the Rags they can have Adam Fox for a third if they beat the Pens tonight.

[MillionDollarCam]

McElhinney In net. 

Hopefully he can get us one.

[cookinbrak]

Why?

You know what, nevermind. Defense needs to step up and help him, they gonna have to do it next week.

[lightsout]

Fully expected Mac tonight. Rest Mrazek for game 1 of playoffs. Mac will show out. He knows he's playing to get us into third potentially.

[MillionDollarCam]

The Rangers have just taken the lead...

[MillionDollarCam]

And of course the Pens tied it.

[MillionDollarCam]

Bring on the Capitals!!!

[TheMaulClaw]

Almost had the best case scenario tonight.  Oh well....very proud of this team.  If we're gonna go down lets go down swinging to the Caps.  Give them nothing and take from them everything.
