Same way the Jets have lost twice to the Sharks

Are the Preds now more of a threat?

preds are still below the flames, and we play them tonight

For Winnipeg to clinch:

Finish 3-1-1 or better regardless of outcome against Calgary or Nashville.   They can clinch as early as Saturday, with regulation wins over Calgary and Nashville, and a Nashville loss in any fashion to Carolina on Thursday.

IF Winnipeg beats Calgary clean tonight, they need only one more win or a Flames regulation loss to eliminate the Flames. 

IF Winnipeg wins in OT/SO, then they eliminate Calgary with a combination of 3 points earned or Calgary points not earned. 

IF Calgary wins in OT/SO, Jets can still eliminate them by finishing 2-1-1 or better. 

IF Calgary wins clean, Winnipeg can still eliminate them by finishing 3-1.

This is the only scenario I am concerned with.  The next 3 games are at home (including tonight).   Beat Flames.   Then look to beating the Preds.

Beat Flames, beat Preds, beat Sharks and they are in. Easy peasy.

When did beating the Sharks become easy peasy?

Canucks blew a 2 goal lead against Flames.  Canucks win in shootout.

Jets cannot clinch Monday, but with a win will eliminate one team. Need 3 points to clinch. 

something in my gut was telling me the game was going to go into OT

6 days to go and tons still up in the air:

Only division set is the Atlantic -

1. Boston (will play #8 seed)

2. Toronto (will play TB w/ home advantage)

3. Tampa Bay (will play Toronto)

Metro - 

Any of Carolina, New Jersey, or NYR can still win the division. Losers will play each other in the 2 v 3 series. Winner plays the #7 seed. 

East wildcard - Fla, NYI, Pit, and even Buf (needing tons of help) are in the running for both wildcard spots. 

Pacific - Vegas and Edmonton can still win division. Edm has tie-breaker if they finish tied. LA and Seattle still battling for 3rd, Sea has a game in hand and tie-breaker if they finish tied, loser will be #7 seed. 

Central - Col, Dal, and Min all still in the running for division title and possibly even #1 seed in West (with help). Losers will play each other in the 2 v 3 match-up. 

West wild card - Wpg, Cal, and Nas still in play for the #8 seed.

Not sure about that. A  win on Monday gives them 93 and NSH can hit 94 max.

We are tied with FLA at 78.7 %( money pucks) chance to make it into the playoffs. Ahh the irony.🙃

Since Calgary and Nashville play each other, only one of them can get more than 93 points (even if one of them gets a “loser point” on Monday) maximum by season’s end. If the Jets win they hit 93 and hold the tiebreaker in regulation wins against both teams.
