And I don't think tonight there is a game that at all effects the Western playoff race. The McEchiel race is still active tonight though

We've got a good chance of passing the Blues, especially if we sweep them in the head-to-head, but we're 5 points behind Nashville, thouh we have two games in hand. If we end up tied with Nashville, they'll most likely win the division, because they already have 41 wins in regulation or overtime while we only have 37. The Blues also currently have 37, but have one more shootout loss than us. Hence their extra point in the current standings.
Again, it appears that we're in the playoofs, 100% chance according to Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy, (see the link in my post above), due to teams below us cannabilizing each others possible points in head-to-head meetings. So if he's correct, I'm surprised the league hasn't indicated that the Hawks are already in, unless Wyshynski's calculations are incorrect.
That's a great pic (Easy Rider) is that something you did when you were a younger feller or something you want to do when you retire?

Because they're not yet.
The Jets can get to 100 and in that case Calgary to 100 and LA to 99 or viceversa or both to 99, where they would have the tie breaker over Blackhawks. They can't both get to 100 if the Jets get to 100. At 99 we have the tie breaker over the Jets
That's why the magic number is 2 right now

If the Hawks win in regulation or overtime, tomorrow, or in any of their remaining games, even if the Jets run the table, they're in with 38 ROW to the Jets 37. Or if the Jets lose one game in regulation, Saturday night for example to the Nucs, and they both end up with 98 points, the Hawks are in, 37 ROW to 36.
Love to see the Kings miss the playoffs, but playing the Stars twice and the Avalanche, I think they're going to make it, though the Stars and the Avavlanche, should have nothing to lose and play loosey-goosey. Those last two Flames games vs. the Kings and the Jets, will probably determine if the King or the Jets get in, or the Flames play themselves out of a spot.

I liked riding motocross bikes when I lived in Joliet (high school). A friend's family had lots of land dedicated to motocross trails. Never, rode a bike on the streets. A friend wiped out on his bike and hit his head on the curb, sans helmet, and was lucky to live, after about a hear of rehab. Just in the last two months, our IT person at work just lost his dad, who was only 47 and had just retired from the military, in an accident on the highway. I just don't trust drivers to see bikers, so I pass on a trip like this, though I'm sure it would be fun.

It's b/c of those ifs that we're not in 100% yet. Sure, 99.999999%, but not 100% and that's why there isn't an "x" next to the Hawks in the standings

Wyshynski has now corrected himself in the comments section of the article below:
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-p...claw-panthers--jets-in-trouble-133733575.html
Commenter (1 day ago)
Since it's been commented on the past three of these articles, I'll do a bit of a preemptive strike here:
The reason the Blackhawks are at a 100% possibility of making the playoffs but also on the death watch is due to rounding up. Technically the odds show the Hawks as having above a 99.95% chance of making the playoffs. Mathematically, the Hawks are 10pts out of missing the playoffs with 6 games remaining. The following teams would all need to make up the following pts on the Hawks in that time:
Minn: 3pts in 6gms
Van: 3pts in 5gms
CGY: 7pts in 5gms
WPG: 8pts in 5gms
LA: 10pts in 6gms
Since some teams play each other and both teams can't win in that scenario, below are the best possible combination of records these teams can have:
Minn: 5-0-1 11pts (OTL to WPG) [8pts CHI clinch]
Van: 3-0-2 8pts (OTL to LA, WPG) [5pts CHI clinch]
CGY: 3-0-2 8pts (OTL to LA,WPG) [1pt CHI clinch]
WPG: 5-0-0 10pts [2pts CHI clinch]
LA: 6-0-0 12pts [2pts CHI clinch]
Basically that means that Chicago's magic number right now is 2pts (1pt + 1pt for ROW tiebreak). Meaning a 1-5-0 record (or some combination of 2pts thereof) will clinch a playoff spot regardless of what everyone else does. So yes, finishing with worse than a 1-5-0 record can indeed cause the Hawks to miss the playoffs, but that also means that all those other teams would also need to pretty much win out. The likelihood of that happening is very small but it is mathematically possible just to less than a 0.05% chance.

yah only Prices rape face is going to stand in the Rangers way. Don't know how many rounds Price can rape on his own though. Rest of the Habs just don't have the rapeabilities.
