The Hockey Thread
With only five gamedays left in the regular season, the NHL is closing in on the playoffs. Personally I think the last playoff seats in the eastern conference will not be set until the final gameday. I think only Scotts Rangers are safe so far with 3 points ahead, three games left and two scheduled with the Islanders.
Unfortunately my favorite team, the Flyers, doesn't have that luxury and probably have the toughest final games of all teams, twice the Penguins and one against the Devils. On the upside, if they win two of the games, they are through.
I also find the games for the SE division title very interesting. The Capitals are tied with the Hurricanes, but Carolina has won more games. This means, while both teams play the Panthers and the Lightning once, the Caps have to win both to have a chance at the title and ultimately the playoffs.
How's your club doing?
P.S.: Yes, Rym we know how good the Red Wings are and that they will probably get the Presidents Trophy this year again.

One more loss and the Caps are pretty much gone, but Kudos on the win against the Hurricanes yesterday.
Everybody!
Hit somebody!
Anybody!
HARD!
I would love to see the Caps finish 8th and the Pens finish 1st...what a series that would be.
The Panthers upset the Hurricanes 4:3 and the Flyers clinch it with a shutout and three goals against the best goalie in the east.
Andrew, now it's sink or swim. Good Luck
*is shot by more knowledgeable hockey fans*
Mathematically though, they do have a great chance to win it all.
On an interesting note, tomorrow could be the first game in two playoff series if you will. The Rangers will definitely play the Devils in the Conference Quarterfinals and tomorrows game will decide the home-ice advantage. And the Flyers play the Penguins. If the penguins win, they will place first and the Flyers eighth.
However, if the Flyers win it, they will place sixth and play the Capitals, leaving the bruins for the Canadians and Ottawa against Pittsburgh.
See you in the Playoffs, Andrew ^^
Man, I can not read the "not since 2002" next to it, shame on me....Detroit goes to the finals due to my error.
The Power play goal was rather unfair as the Flyers where two man down after Thoresen literally busted his balls to block a shot.
Ovechkin only scored one goal though. Unfortunately it was the game winner.
We'll get you tomorrow.
