Canes 1st round playoff scenarios

Recommended Posts

Check me on this please in case I’m missing something! I’ve read the latest news and all I see is talk about Canes playing either Rangers or Panthers first round, but looking at the standings it seems possible Canes could end up playing the Islanders. The scenarios:

Scenario 1

If Canes lose to the Panthers Thursday and NJD beat the Capitals then it’s clear that Canes would play the Rangers in the 1st round.

Scenario 2

Looking at the current Wild Card standings, it appears to me that if the Islanders beat Montreal today and the Canes beat The Panthers Thursday, Islanders would move up from WC2 to WC1 and Canes would play the Islanders 1st round.  Bruins would play the Panthers who would drop down to WC2.

Scenario 3

If Canes beat the Panthers and Islanders lose to Montreal today the Panthers would remain at WC1 and Canes would play Panthers 1st round. Bruins would play the Islanders.

Well I want a win as well, but will be pulling for the Islanders today to win 2 points in regulation since Scenario 2 would be the best matchup to give the Canes a good playoff start. 
Panthers have been hot as of late winning 6 of their last 7 games.

So after tonight. If the islanders lose Florida will be the 7 seed no matter what. If the islanders win, pens are out but Florida would be fighting for the 7 seed still. So… go Montreal?

Id rather see the Canes play the Islanders than follow up with a seven game series against Florida, assuming the canes beat Florida Thursday and Montreal wins tonight.

But then again like Panthers Fan said, just win Thursday. Any team is better for the Canes to play than the Rags.

I just hope Rod actually practices us 2-3 times after Thursday. And really hope we are the on the Tuesday draw. That way we can have 3 solid practices and 1.5 days of rest plus a practice before the game. I think that’s been one of our biggest issues. This team performs better when they practice.

    • If I could pie more, I would. Fantastic 
    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
    • I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
