Or we could just win again and say to hell with them both

It would be nice to win tomorrow and end it there. Let Pavelec sit the final game of the season.

I'm gonna say it, but Chicago is a team that i could see struggling down the stretch too, They are without Patrick Kane now and their D leaves lots to  be desired, Jets aren't far back of them actuall

Minnesota +2 = 98 pts (claim 1st Wild card spot) Quack!

 

I thought they've clinched a playoff spot but not the 1st wild card spot. Wild have a couple tough games to close the season (Nashville and St. Louis) - they lose out and we win out, we have more points.

 

 

My bad. Who wants to play Anaheim tho? That team is together.

Hockey gods were not on LA's side tonight

 

Well they did get that goal from center ice.

I'm not sure whether my heart can stand it. We win 1 more game or Kings lose 1 more and we're in. Big game against the Avs on Thursday and here's hoping the Flames beat the Kings too.

As of right now, the 2nd wild card team would play Anaheim, wouldn't they. They have 107 points to the Blues 105. Blues, Preds and Hawks have tougher last 2 games than Anaheim has as well.

Just to clarify, The Kings need to lose in regualtion for us to make the playoffs.

If they win and we lose to the Avs in regualtion, the Flames game is huge.

If we make the playoffs on Thursday and cannot make the 1st wild card spot, I would play Hutch on Saturday and also rest some people and see what Copp and others look like.

Not exactly. Most kings can get is 97 points. We have 96. We win one game or go 1-0-1. Kings can win out and we still in.

Kinda what I said no?

If they win and we lose to the Avs in regualtion, the Flames game is huge.

Honestly I would keep playing Pav all the way regardless. One game of rest... I don't see the value. Change as little as possible because the team is rolling and you don't want to knock them off course.

if the Jets clinch tomorrow, it's an interesting decision for Maurice.  Not playing Pavs on Saturday leaves a pretty long lay off before the Playoffs.  On the other hand, shouldnt they get Hutch some game action?

 

Knowing Maurice, he'd say Pavs wants to play and Pavs deserves to play.

If the Jets win today (please), you'll see all healthy press box players and dancing gabe in the line-up against Calgary.

I think that depends on whether we have a chance at the first wild card spot...if Minny wins tonight, we don't have a chance but if we win and Minny loses, we still have a chance at the first wild card spot.

Speculation abounds that some guys are very banged up. Clinching tonight and it might be more valuable to give them the long rest than shoot for one spot higher in the standings which really only benefits us if we play the Wild in the conference final.

I would rather see them play the Blues or Preds than the Ducks....my opinion.

Pretty much anyone but the Ducks, at this point...

I bet the teams at the top are saying anyone but Winnipeg.. Winnipeg is a type of team even if you win its going to take so much out of you that it will affect you later down the road.

Pacific is the easier route. Boudreau teams are soft in the playoffs and Anaheim's point total was inflated by playing 5 non playoff teams 6 times each or whatever it is. Second round looks even better if it is the winner of Van Cgy. Line the Ducks up, they're the easier target.

Ducks are vulnerable tho. Iffy goaltending. A few games or 2 would get it going. They could play buffalo and I'd be jacked watching it. PLAYOFFS! !!

They probably don't care who they play.
