This topic is for teams in the Wild Card race.

 

L.A.: We can write off L.A. as being a concern. After hibernating for most of the season the Cup champs have woken up and have won 8 in a row. No surprise. When you've won multiple cups recently you can take 50 games off and turn on the power when you need to.

 

4 teams - 2 spots...

 

Calgary: Kings play lately has knocked them down into the Wild Card race but they have a March schedule that is the best of all the teams included in this post. 15 games(7 home) with 10 against teams below them currently in the standings.

 

Minnesota: Pulled off the trade/gift of the year by getting Dubnyk. 14 games(8 home) in March and 6 against teams below them currently in the standings.

 

Winnipeg: 14 games(8 at home) and 5 against teams currently below us in the standings.

 

San Jose: Has a brutal March schedule. Of their 13 games they only play 3 teams below them currently in the standings. On the plus side, the least amount of games.

 

And the rest...

 

DAL/COL: Can not find the post from last fall but I called DAL/COL as missing the playoffs this year and that's holding up. Really seeing nothing changing in that department plus I just can't be wrong in my predictions

 

Conclusion...

 

Advantage Calgary/Minnesota

 

 

 

 

Ladd might have with Carolina. Buff no

Seem to recall they both were on CHI when they won. So Ladd has 2?

 

 

Yes, Ladd has won with both Carolina and Chicago.   The win with Carolina was his rookie season.  

 

Never underestimate having some one on a team who knows what it's like to win a cup.

Was Frolik not on the Hawks during their last cup?... 3 guys with rings, better than none

Total up to 3!

The Jets management and coaching staff have a few rings as well.

Minn won tonight. Jets now in 2nd wild card spot.

I can't handle this. Ugh

And Calgary won in O.T.

Calgary 3rd in Pacific. Minni on a roll and might catch Chicago. Teams getting hot at the right time. Still have faith we get in tho. If not, they tried pretty darn hard and it may be time to move some pieces in the off season. Hopefully we make it tho. Might come down to our last game vs Calgary. Hey if not maybe we win the draft lottery lol

It's almost nauseating following this race day-by-day this year. This week we've lost once and had 2 unlucky nights on the out of town scoreboard....boom!...playoff chances down almost 20% back to essentially a coin flip.

Someone said on 1290 yesterday, and I concur, I'd almost rather be asleep from now until April...wake me up then and let me know if we're in. My heart can't take it...

But hey, happy Friday y'all! "Big game tomorrow"...

It's very emotional. I think I went on record here a couple weeks ago saying they wouldn't get in. I still think that but I hope in wrong.

Minny and Calgary win again

Is this Wild streak among the greatest comebacks ever?

Minny and Calgary win again

Yeah CAL loses their top dman who is also their Captain and they win 3/4 now. 

 

Preds have lost 5 in a row and play Jets tomorrow. If we lose that's the first nail in the coffin.

Must win tonight boys...LET'S DO THIS!!!

No its not. This will come down to the last few games of the season. Nail in coffin to lose to the preds? I don't think so
