Check me on this please in case I’m missing something! I’ve read the latest news and all I see is talk about Canes playing either Rangers or Panthers first round, but looking at the standings it seems possible Canes could end up playing the Islanders. The scenarios:

Scenario 1

If Canes lose to the Panthers Thursday and NJD beat the Capitals then it’s clear that Canes would play the Rangers in the 1st round.

Scenario 2

Looking at the current Wild Card standings, it appears to me that if the Islanders beat Montreal today and the Canes beat The Panthers Thursday, Islanders would move up from WC2 to WC1 and Canes would play the Islanders 1st round.  Bruins would play the Panthers who would drop down to WC2.

Scenario 3

If Canes beat the Panthers and Islanders lose to Montreal today the Panthers would remain at WC1 and Canes would play Panthers 1st round. Bruins would play the Islanders.

Well I want a win as well, but will be pulling for the Islanders today to win 2 points in regulation since Scenario 2 would be the best matchup to give the Canes a good playoff start. 
Panthers have been hot as of late winning 6 of their last 7 games.

So after tonight. If the islanders lose Florida will be the 7 seed no matter what. If the islanders win, pens are out but Florida would be fighting for the 7 seed still. So… go Montreal?

Id rather see the Canes play the Islanders than follow up with a seven game series against Florida, assuming the canes beat Florida Thursday and Montreal wins tonight.

But then again like Panthers Fan said, just win Thursday. Any team is better for the Canes to play than the Rags.

I just hope Rod actually practices us 2-3 times after Thursday. And really hope we are the on the Tuesday draw. That way we can have 3 solid practices and 1.5 days of rest plus a practice before the game. I think that’s been one of our biggest issues. This team performs better when they practice.
