it depends on who owns tie breakers.

(http://www.nhl.com/ice/schedulebyweek.h ... v-sch-main) remaining schedule.

if the flyers beat the rangers they are tied with montreal with 88 pts.
If the rags beat the flyers they are tied with montreal with 88pts.

88 pts is currently 7th position. and will be the 8th as well.

nobody can catch boston as the habs have no more games boston is in the 6th position w/ 89 pts.

If the Sabres beat the Devils tomorrow they move to 102pts and will take over 2nd place. If this is the case the sabres play the habs rags or flyers depending on who owns tie breakers and who wins between the flyers and rags.

If the Sabres lose to the Devils or win in OT (as a tie would result in a tied record season, and NJ has more wins on the season) they will remain in 3rd and play the Bruins. (http://www.nhl.com/ice/preview.htm?id=2009021227)

The most likely candidate is the bruins.
From one of the headlines on the nhl.com site the habs have a berth, so they own the breaker on either philly of NYC. (http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2009021214) and from what I'm reading it looks like the Habs own the Breaker on both philly and NYC. (http://www.nhl.com/ice/preview.htm?id=2009021223)

therefore your two possibilities rely on a regulation win by the sabres against the Devils and it will either be boston of montreal.

No doubt about it, the Habs are the team we want. They are backing into the playoffs. The Bruins are scary right now (three shorties in 64 seconds?!?!?).

Here is an interesting stat: [color=#FF0000] [color=#FF0000]The Sabres are the only NHL team unbeaten this season when leading after two periods (30-0-0).[/color]

Both of the three possible 1st rd opponents? Lol, just picking.

No need for violence, just tell her she's got a game misconduct and show her the door.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
