Who's in? Who'll they face? How do we know? I'm abandoning the Playoff Chase thread in favor of a more complete look at things. Teams are listed with record, games left and most points possible, along with what they have to do to clinch a spot, or to be eliminated.

(edited by Freeway420 on 14.3.03 1531) The Chase Is On: 8th: Oilers [29-23-8-8] 74pts; 14 games left 14th: Flames [23-31-10-4] 60pts; 14 games left Flames must win 7 more games than the Oilers do to make playoffs Any combination of 7 Oilers wins or Flames losses eliminates them from the playoffs
If you didn't watch this game, you missed one of the best of all time. Canada beat the U.S. 5-2, but most of the game was a 3-2 game with tons of great shots, great saves, and great hits. Excellent and exciting.
