Aren't tickets in Columbus really cheap, too?

Personally, I've always kind of liked Columbus, btu they've always been off my radar. Maybe if their success continues (until they run into the Wings buzzsaw that is) we can see a real rivalry develop. That'd be great to have a Chicago-Detroit-Columbus rivalry causing all sorts of great hockey.

Ya... looks like it..

Ducks can clinch with a win in either of their last two games against Dallas and Phoenix OR at least a overtime loss.

Wings need to win all remaining games and have sharks lose all there remaining games to get #1

Blues need at least 2 wins (with ducks getting 0 wins) to get to #7 spot

Ducks could get the #6 spot if they win both games and jackets win 0 games

And a bunch of other stuff for NASH//Minn to make the playoffs but I think STL and ANA will take remaining spots in WC

Correct me if I am wrong... lets just say I got alot of sleep during math classes ^^

Incorrect. The Blues do not need atleast two wins assuming the Ducks get zero wins to take 7th place. The two teams are currently tied for points with ANA having 2 more victories than STL. The only way the Ducks 100% control their 7th seed is if they win both of their final games (given their win total exceeds STL's). If they win one and lose the other in OT/SO, the Blues would overtake them if they won both of their final games. Similarly, if the Ducks lose both their next two games (in regulation), all the Blues need is one point in the final two games to take 7th place.

Yes and no. The Jackets have a lot more opportunities to get great seats for relatively cheap, but they've got some real high priced seats too. And since it's the playoffs, who knows what prices will be. Hopefully not too steep.
