marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 The Buffalo and Carolina games are my concern. Losing either of those could be catastrophic. You'd have to think those teams would love the chance to contribute to ending the streak. Wings gotta be on their toes and play complete games. 2 Rick D and sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Realistically I think we've gotta be shooting for 92 points to get in. With 7 games left, and the way they've been playing receecntly, combined with their remaining games against the Stars, Devils, Blues, Hawks and Lightning, I'm not sure the Caps will even get to 92. Does anyone else see them getting 5+ wins out of their remaining schedule? I don't think I do. Personally I just hope we can finish this week with winning 2 out of 3. Maybe then I could relax a little. Edited April 1, 2014 by wings4thecup06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Washington can win out and earn 93 points. Toronto, New Jersey, and Ottawa can win out and each earn 92 points. Toronto would have the most regulation wins of those three with 42, Ottawa would have 39 and New Jersey would have 38. Carolina can end the season with as much as 89 points, the Islanders can earn 84. Everyone else is mathematically eliminated. Presently the Wings are at 84 points with seven games (14 potential points) remaining. If Washington wins out they will have 40 regulation/OT wins, which means that 4 regulation wins and a single OT loss from the Red Wings won't cut it to guarantee a spot just yet, because the Capitals would still have the upper hand due to more regulation/OT wins. So as of midnight on April 2 it looks like the magic number is 10 points, in any combination of Wings victories or points that Washington leaves on the table.

You're giving total wins. NJ Can get to 38, Ott to 34, Tor to 33, Was to 31. So 9 pts so long as two of the wins are regulation/ot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 We need 3 more points to clinch, less if Jersey, Washington and Toronto lose again. So 1-2-1 is good enough to clinch. Edit: Incorrectly assumed we had five games left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 As of right now, we need 3 points (I believe) to clinch a playoff spot if NJ and Tor win all three of their remaining games. That shouldn't be impossible, but the Wings HAVE to win tonight to increase those odds. It would be nice to clinch that 7th spot and play Pittsburgh, but just making it in means that anything is possible. Wouldn't want to play Montreal, though. Their speed and goaltending has given Detroit problems for the past few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To add to that I recall having their number the past few seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
