The How Many Pts We Out Thread

[ViPeRx007]

I think this is about best case scenario for the Blues (we split the games with NSH and win out the rest):
@Nsh - W
Dal - W
Cls - W
@Chi - W
Anh - W
@Nsh - L
93 Points

Colorado - about the best we could ask for:
Cgy - L
SJ - L
@Van - L
@Edm - W
Chi - L
LA - L
Points: 91

Then there's Calgary:
@Col - W
@Chi- L
SJ - L
Min - W
@Van - L
Points: 91

So the Blues have to go 5-1, and the two teams near them have to go about 3-8.

If it can be dreamed, it can be done!

I dreamed a dream, and look at me!

Even if, and this is a tremendous if, the Blues managed to somehow get into the playoffs, which would have them relying on a lot of help from a lot of other teams, they'd shit themselves in the 1st round and go down in a 4 game fizzle. There's simply too much of a Kariya, Brewer, Jackman, Cam, Winchester, Walt stink on the roster.

And plus who wants the possibility of getting swept by Chicago. I know I don't.

Who swept who last time that Chicago won the division?

Well, this is it. With Colorado's win last night, we sit 6 points back with each team having 4 games to play. Since Colorado holds the tiebreaker over us, tying them doesn't do us any good. That means that if Colorado wins just 1 of their last 4 games, we're out. If we lose any of our last 4, we're out.

Not unexpected, but still not pleasant.

Actually, it means if Colorado gets one more point we are out... and ot/so loss by Colorado eliminates the Blues.

How so? COL has 91 pts, we have 85. If we win all 4 remaining games, we finish with 93. If COL loses three, OT/SO loss one, they finish with 92. Of course, Calgary would have to tank it, too.

It's all a moo point anyway.

Any which way you slice it, the alignment of the universe would have to occur for the Blues to make the playoffs at this point.

At least we're going to finish with (hopefully) some respectability. A few spaces either way in the draft at this point are negligable anyway.

What the hell do cows have to do with this?

You know, it's like a cow's opinion- it just doesn't matter.

It's moo.

Tuesday morning update: 4 points behind Colorado with 3 games to play. Colorado has one game in hand.

Both Calgary and Colorado play again tonight, against Division Leaders Vancouver and San Jose.

Two points by Colorado will eliminate the Blues.

For the Blues to make the playoffs, the best Colorado can do is go 0-3-1 in their last 4 games...and the Blues have to win all three of theirs.

We're going to not get in because of a tiebreak...you watch.

Please... let it end. Go Colorado! Go Calgary! Put an end to this season already.

Will be looking forward to next season, maybe the elevator near the main entrance will working and the hopefully Detroit will in our situation next season.

The dream is no longer alive. Eff you, Matt Duchene.

[TSUCookieMonster]

Another year down the crapper.

All good luck from here on out must be wished upon non-Detroit or Chicago teams.
