I'm just going to sit in the dark for the next few hours...

 

[zroid]

so Kings vs Flames is now literally a must-win for the Kings... oh man this is getting good

 

[TheStruggler]

It really was the best possible outcome.

Now it's up to Edmonton, oh who I'm I kidding?

Yeah, yeah, and Toronto will win the cup in 2050.

The oilers won't win shit, they're the oilers for a reason, we have to look for someone else to beat them.

 

[Acid08]

I feel nothing.

Kings win their last two games and they're in.

Have to win against Calgary in regulation though.

 

[Ursn]

GG oilers!

 

[dem]

Oilers continue to disappoint Oiler fans..

#BELIEVE

If these fuckers really do beat the Kings I'm gonna use that as my avatar until the playoffs end

 

[Jinaar]

As long as more Canadian teams make the playoffs, it's all gravy.

I think Calgary can still beat Peg and get in if LA wins out. they have the tiebreaker.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Canucks clinch? What's the maths behind that?

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Doesn't sound right...

Bing it.

Just Binged It.

First in Jets history. Not NHL.

OIL

YES

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[MetatronM]

Almost every game ended with the best possible result. The only way it could have been better is if Ottawa could have completed the rally during regulation and keep the Pens from getting that point.

Sets up all kinds of entertaining scenarios for the rest of the week.

Canucks clinch? What's the maths behind that?

Best the Kings can do is 97 points, where the Canucks are now, but they cannot catch up to Vancouver in ROW and therefore lose the tiebreaker.

who is this guy

Are you sure about that? I thought the Kings had to win out and the Flames or Jets had to drop two.

 

[TheStruggler]

who is this guy

he was dancing randomly at a jets game, he wore a fur coat and decided to bust a move he thought people would make fun of him but it made him a legend

 

[DrForester]

This was my understanding as well. Kings don't control their own destiny now, they need help at this point.

Don't give it to them.

Ok, that makes much more sense.

 

[calder]

Man ppl never have figured out how the standings work. Sportscasters constantly say the team outside is 3 back of the playoffs because the Jets are in second wildcard, but in reality the Kings are 2 points behind the Flames.

 

[TheStruggler]

jets need 2 points in two games, so even if they get a point a game they are in

 

[MutFox]

YES!!
I didn't think the Oilers could do it.

I really hope LA don't get in...

I was at that one. It was the Jets/Panthers game in early January. I had some drunk dude spill his booze all over my jersey and jacket. He's lucky that Perreault scored four goals and the Jets won 8-2, otherwise I'd have been a lot more pissed.

Looked it up on the iPad with the Bing app. (It's actually pretty good)

Most reasonable playoff scenario for Kings: beat Calgary, beat San Jose, pray for Winnipeg to beat Calgary on Saturday

That's literally the only scenario.

Two of those things are not going to happen

Edit: actually if the kings win out and the jets drop both of theirs with no points they would make it in wouldn't they?

Or did the nhl app not update the standings for tonight? Jets are at what 96 points?

 

[calder]

I have a new Jets win gif in mind. I'll have to make it tomorrow, going to take some scouring of GCL feeds.

So what does ROW stand for/represent anyway? Regulation wins?

Hopefully flames and jets can both make it in.

Regulation and OT, not including shootouts

You're right.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Oh so are regulation wins not the first tie breaker if 2 teams have the same points anymore?

 

[zroid]

conspiracy theory time:

If the Flames and Jets both lose their next games in OT/SO, then they'll be in a position to guarantee playoff spots for themselves if they play a 3 point game in their season closer.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Via NHL

If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order: The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage). The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column.

 

[Indrid Cold]

I see. Thx.

 

[calder]

Crazy odds shifts late in the season when the math starts simplifying.

Western Conference Playoff Chances
Winnipeg +25.0, Los Angeles -40.3

Hnnnnnnng.

Heh, I was actually just wondering what scenario would allow this. Just to have 2 teams play their final game and agree to just mail it in for a 3 point game and they both get in.

I would say losing to the 2014-15 Oilers is the most embarrassing thing ever for the San Jose Sharks but it’s not even really Top 10.


lmao

Hey man, Oilers are in playoff form. Better hope you don't run into them in the second round.

The Flames and Jets would play to a 0-0 tie in regulation, neither team taking a single shot on goal with the crowd chanting "fuck LA" the whole 60. It would be glorious.
