east is pretty much settled. winnipeg ain't making it. 14% chance. that leaves only 8 teams in the running, realistically.



pens have 96% chance of clinching east. if they win 3 and go to OT in a 4th, they definitely clinch, though realisticaly they probably only need to win 2 or 3 to get #1 seed. only 6 games left, i dont even care man. they play boston and montreal this week i think,



west has 3 4 teams fighting for that last spot. dallas, detroit, phoenix, and columbus. i'd say dallas and detroit make it. doesnt' matter, none of those teams are gonna win the cup.



chicago lost all 3 games against anaheim this year.



top 4 are locked in the west.







The Maple Leafs only had 5 shots on goal in the first period versus Montreal. They scored four times. The last team to have that kind of first was the Pittsburgh Penguins on Oct 25, 1990, versus the Quebec Nordiques.
