How is this playoff clinch not through front door?

For the maths fans, a win wednesday and two loses for the Jets to finish the season would allow the Canadiens to finish 3rd in the division.

On the second to last game of the year after losing more games than winning and only qualifying because the Senators were our MVP you need to ask? Really?

does the win for the habs and the losses for the jets need to be in regulation time?

oh no worries I was just wondering how specific the circumstances actually needed to be... wouldn't bet on it happening but it is possible

Lol I called last year playoff appearance back door this one I don’t have a name for it yet, it’s a function of the weaker North division but by no means I call it back door as they still work their butt off with a bit of help

it'll be interesting to see. sucks that Price doesn't get to play a regular-season game, I wonder if it's still because of his health status or they simply deemed it wasn't very important that he does... anyways at this point they should rest Allen and give Primeau the start on wednesday

You would think that Tatar, Danault, Gallagher is a lock for one line (assuming they are all healthy). I think this game (and the times earlier in the season they played together) shows that Lek-Evans-Byron should be a line.

Question - what are the other 2 lines?

And not to keep harping on how bad Staal is... most of the time I only notice him for getting thrown out of the face-off circle. But tonight, I laughed my ass off when he got knocked on his ass by a simple shove and just sat there for like 5 seconds before even moving, even though the Oilers had the puck in the Habs zone.

I think Staal and Perry are on the outside, when the playoff starts, assuming everyone is healthy.

I hope it’s bcoz they don’t want to take chances, I mean with Price who knows when he will get injured again

So Jets are only missing Ehlers but they are struggling more than we are
