What exactly does dallas losing matter to us? If anything, we have a better chance of bumping oulers out of a playoff spit if they go cold and calgary keeps winning and overtakes oilers for 3rd spot. Mcdavid and draisaitl are out so oilers could realistically lose several even though they have several games in hand on us.

No! Root for Dallas! The Oilers can be caught, and that would be absolutely hilarious!

Absolutely. Both mcdavid and draisaitl are injured right now. They could totally collapse although unlikely.

Calgary is starting to worry me. Dallas needs to beat them tomorrow night!

Hockey gods throwing another back-to-back roadblock right in our face.

What does catching the Oilers do for the Blues?

What does catching the Oilers do for the Blues?

If calgary wins their games in hand, they are ahead of the blues. If calgary passes both the blues and oilers, catching the oilers is very relevant as they sre now a wildcard with calgary passong them.

Its not likely to be relevant but its way more likely to be helpful than the stars losing as blues definutely arent catching stars.

Also if blues are take path of winipeg and win and oilers take path of other division and both advance to conference finals, it would determine home ice advantage.

This isn't hard. Either Vancouver or Calgary would then be 3rd and the Blues would have a bunch of points in their then-quest to outpace the other Pacific team and Minnesota/Utah for one of the wild card spots. It takes down one of the teams competing with them.

Besides, what an off-season it would be gloating over fleecing the Oilers.

Kiefer Sherwood showing up again. Just now Isles tie it up at 1!

[ZouMiz2424]

These east coast teams keep laying down for van and cal.

With their remaining schedule its hard to imagine Calgary not losing 3+ games.

Jack, I couldn't agree more. I think they are going to lose their next three. If they don't, then they deserve a wildcard.

The upper tier of the Western conference have got to be getting nervous.

The Blues can't lose.
Vancouver won't lose.
And CalGary refuses to lose.

[rezero]

Calgary is starting to worry me. Dallas needs to beat them tomorrow night!

Me too. They are playing some of their best hockey of the season and have a similar SOS left as the Blues. We need to just keep winning!

I sense there is a better than average chance this ends up with the Blues and Calgary in the WC slots and Minny and Vancouver dropping out.
