Go Senators and Lightning, although I dont like the matchup for either team.

Go Senators and Lightning, although I dont like the matchup for either team.

I do like the fact that both played last night.  I doubt they both win; a Carolina loss would be better from a tiebreaker standpoint.

Big help for the Pens, this.

Tomorrow night versus Florida is huge; a regulation win gives us the tiebreak on every club in the race except Montreal, who are bleeding out at this point.  Lots of hockey to play, but it's never bad to have the math on your side.

We now have the math on the Hurricanes, Rags, and Scabs, who are done like a rare steak.   

In other news, Buffalo in danger of losing the all-important tenth spot to Toronto.

And we just keep giving away points.  This is not exactly the best time to simply 'settle' for a point a game.

Yup, needed that 2 from Ottawa. Not going to be easy to get 2 today.
