Please win tonight, Oilers. I beg of you.
I need something good to happen in my life right now, because it's been a living nightmare otherwise.

Right, so clinching scenario's for the (second) final day of the regular season.
Shorks VS Yotes: A win for either team only affects their draft position.
Canucks VS Oilers: Nucks win could put them out of the bottom 3. Oilers win insures Toronto will finish last.
Kings VS Jets: Kings clinch pacific division with a win. Jets will finish outside of the bottom 5 with a win.
Stars VS Preds: Stars clinch Central division with a win. Preds win only affects draft position
Capitals VS Blues: Irrelevant for the Caps. Blues need a win/OT loss and the Stars need to lose in OT (provided Blues win) or regulation (either scenario) for the Blues to clinch central division.
Sabers VS Isles: Sabers win only affects draft position. Isles win helps them place (or insure depending on the Rangers do today) 3rd in the metropolitan.
Flames VS Wild: Flames could finish 25th or 27th depending on the result of their match along with the Jets and Canucks games. Irrelevant for the Wild.
Blackhawks VS Blue Jackets: A win for either team only affects their draft position.
Hurricanes VS Panthers: Irrelevant for the Canes. Panthers win/loss only affects their draft position.
Maple Tanks VS Devils: Leafs loss insures dead last. Devils win could affect their draft position.
Lighting VS Habs: Again, the outcome of the game only affects either teams draft position.
Ducks VS Avs: Ducks need at least a point to still have a chance to finish 1st in the pacific regardless of the result in the Kings game. Avs would only be affected by their draft position.
Pens VS. Flyers: Irrelevant for the Pens. See below for the Flyers.
Sens VS Burins: Sens are only affected by draft position. See below for Boston.
Rangers VS. Wings: Win gives them a shot at placing 3rd in the metropolitan. Losing essentially puts the Rangers in a wild card spot. See below for Red Wings.
And here are the clinching scenario's for Detroit:
Regulation/OT win: Will clinch playoff berth
Shootout win: Will clinch playoff berth if any of the following occurs:
(1) Bruins lose to the Senators in any fashion
(2) Bruins defeat Senators in a shootout
(3) Flyers lose to Penguins in any fashion
* Cannot be eliminated with shootout win
OT/Shootout loss: Will clinch playoff berth if any of the following occurs:
(1) Bruins lose to Senators in any fashion
(2) Flyers lose to Penguins in regulation
* Cannot be eliminated with OT/shootout loss
Regulation loss: Will clinch playoff berth if:
(1) Bruins lose to Senators in regulation
Will be eliminated if all of the following occur:
(1) Bruins get at least one point against Senators
(2) Flyers defeat Penguins in any fashion
For the Burins:
Regulation/OT win: Will clinch playoff berth if any of the following occurs:
(1) Red Wings lose to Rangers in any fashion
(2) Red Wings defeat Rangers in a shootout
(3) Flyers lose to Penguins in any fashion
* Cannot be eliminated with regulation/OT win
Shootout win: Will clinch playoff berth if any of the following occurs:
(1) Red Wings lose to Rangers in any fashion
(2) Flyers lose to Penguins in any fashion
* Cannot be eliminated with shootout win
OT/Shootout loss: Will clinch playoff berth if any of the following occurs:
(1) Red Wings lose to Rangers in regulation
(2) Flyers lose to Penguins in regulation
* Cannot be eliminated with OT/shootout loss
Regulation loss: Cannot clinch playoff berth
Will be eliminated if:
(1) Flyers defeat Penguins in any fashion
And finally for the Flyers:
Philadelphia Flyers Saturday Playoff Scenario
Opponent: home vs. Pittsburgh
PHI Result Playoff Impact
Regulation/OT win: Will clinch playoff berth if any of the following occurs:
(1) Red Wings lose to Rangers in regulation
(2) Bruins lose to Senators in regulation
* Cannot be eliminated with regulation/OT win
Shootout win: Same as regulation/OT win
OT/Shootout loss: Cannot clinch playoff berth
Regulation loss: Cannot clinch playoff berth
Bear in mind that the Flyers have two games left to the Burins/Wings one so the NHL saying they could be eliminated tonight is (very likely) incorrect.
Shorks VS Yotes: A win for either team only affects their draft position.
Canucks VS Oilers: Nucks win could put them out of the bottom 3. Oilers win insures Toronto will finish last.
Kings VS Jets: Kings clinch pacific division with a win. Jets will finish outside of the bottom 5 with a win.
Stars VS Preds: Stars clinch Central division with a win. Preds win only affects draft position
Capitals VS Blues: Irrelevant for the Caps. Blues need a win/OT loss and the Stars need to lose in OT (provided Blues win) or regulation (either scenario) for the Blues to clinch central division.

I wasn't aware Dallas being swept was such an outlandish concept that it'd need outside influence in order for it to happen.
Rangers are going to shit the bed today because im going to the game that could possibly end Detroit's playoff streak
:lol

Let's note how many times Roy questions any coaching in the months to come.

Major, misconduct and an ejection?
I love the 21st century fad of nerds on the Internet claiming sport knowledge superiority over others based on advanced stats. It will never get old. Doesn't scream inferiority complex at all.
I love poor posters like you in this thread crapping up the thread with your limited knowledge of the sport. It brings entertainment. And let me guess you are not a nerd either?? MOTHERFUCKER YOU ARE POSTING IN A VIDEO GAME MESSAGE BOARD!
Now please post a picture of empty bed sheets at a hotel your parents paid for and the hookers to sleep with, so you can prove to us you aren't a nerd too.

I could stand losing Julien after this season but I'll be damned if he winds up in Ottawa.
Screw that. Go Bs. Break out the clapping bear gifs for today's defacto playoff game.

I have a very good feeling either one of Boston or Detroit will lose in regulation today. What I'm not sure of is if Philly wins against Pittsburgh.

Might be a no-goal.
The Rangers* that is

And no goal. Good challenge since it was offside.
Friend, this isn't about fancy stats, this about a garbage stat that you used to critique a player. If I'm not allowed to call you out on this then why the hell are we here?
