Lottery Watch:
With only 5 games to play, the WORST-CASE is now the 8th slot in the 2010 draft via Toronto. Edmonton has clinched the worst record and Toronto likely has no chance of catching Carolina, the Rangers, or the Jackets though it is mathematically possible. Unfortunately, the Panthers, Lightning, and Islanders are well within striking distance of the Laffs. Therefore, I wouldn't mind seeing a three-point game tonight at the Garden (with our Bruins getting two of those points of course). Here are the lottery standings with games remaining in parentheses - remember that Toronto's max point total is 79 if they win out:
1. Edmonton - 55 (6)
2. Toronto - 69 (5)
3. Florida - 72 (6)
4. Islanders - 72 (6)
5. Tampa - 74 (5)
6. Carolina - 75 (5)
7. Columbus - 77 (5)
8. Rangers - 78 (6)
Futility Watch - Fewest Goals Scored Race (games remaining in parentheses):
1. Bruins - 191 (6)
2. Oilers - 194 (6)
3. Calgary - 196 (5)
4. Florida - 197 (6)
5. Islanders - 199 (6)
Comeon Bruins, pass somebody so we don't have to hear "the worst offense in the NHL" during the playoff broadcasts. Make it the "worst offense among playoff teams" instead!
Yes, the Bruins will make the playoffs.
Buffalo could help the B's by defeating Toronto tonight and Washington could help by defeating the Thrash. Root for those teams tonight too.
