Going on record now, Canes win tomorrow they win the division.

A 5 point lead with two games in hand and the team chasing you only has 8 games left… the Devils would probably have to go 7-1 to have a chance.

If Canes win tomorrow they will have gone 3-1-1 in the 5 top team games NYR (twice), Leafs, Bruins and Lightning. That’s playoff quality play.

If they lose all bets are off lol.

we've played Tampa so well this year they ought to be raging mad at another opportunity cause we made them look like aged trash in the last game and they were trying to bait fights. expect a chippy one. let's close it out.

I've already conceded the Division to Carolina.

What a lousy loss to the Isles but it's not like my Devils didn't have their chances.

Oh well.    Better get ready for Devils/Rags from my end.

You guys may be facing the Pens, I think.

117 is currently the magic number for the metro. As the highest number jersey can achieve is 116.

Half of jersey’s schedule is Vs current standings playoff teams. 2 Vs. X, 3 vs. in the hunt. 

2 of Carolina’s is Vs. Current standings playoff teams. No Vs. X(currently) but 7/10 are against still in the hunt teams. 
 

We’ll see how the magic number adjust by this weekend.

Say...uhh....

That was not a good loss for you guys last night.

Losing in Regulation to the Wings with seconds remaining   OOF!

And combine that with my Devils beating the Rags in regulation?

Things are starting to tighten up a little.

 

I said I conceded the division but if this keeps up, that might change. 

Canes are still in control, though....but this latest loss does them no favors.

Well when you conceded I wasn’t about to. Canes have been known to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as well as vice versa.

Sad,but true....

I'm pretty sure I stated the Canes would lose the division lead after last weekend. 

I was off by a week. They could lose it after this weekend.

Oh well.

My expectations are low. Even with Svech, my expectations would have been the same. The same late season woes are rearing their ugly head. 
 

Who would have though the panthers would have put more emphasis on the off-season than the Canes w/ Dundon/DW.

Rangers lost last night!

Any time the Rangers lose I am happy, I don't care where they are in the standings. But, it was an OT loss, so they still picked up a point on Carolina.

That being said, I think they are fairly inconsequential at this point. However, if they keep losing and the Canes follow suit, they could be a first round matchup.

It’s late in the 2nd but the Blackhawks are beating the devils 2-1

[Stumpy]

Our ole buddy, Simba, pitched a shutout for Florida tonight.

Good on the kid!
