Uh oh, Friday the 13th fell on a Thursday this month^
Anyway, Chicago's 3-0 defeat of Colorado wraps up top spot in the west for them, giving us our first set matchup as Winnipeg was already locked into 8th spot. Nashville is locked into 7th after last night's games, but the rest can still move around.
2. LA 101pts 2gr
3. Dal 99pts 1gr
4. SJ 99pts 1gr
5. Stl 97pts 1gr
6. Det 95pts 1gr
(Dallas has the tie-breaker on SJ, who have it on LA. Detroit has the tie-breaker on St. Louis, who cannot pass SJ)
Over in the east, the Rangers crushed the Flyers 6-1 in what is a possible round one series, but it also might not be as the exact order of 3-6 remains very unclear. We do know that Pittsburgh will play Florida and the old semi-rivals^ will meet once again, with Montreal-Toronto also set (both of those were known before last night's games though).
3. NYR 94pts 1gr
4. TB 92pts 2gr
5. Phi 92pts 1gr
6. Ott 91pts 1gr
(NYR and Ottawa have the tie-breakers on TB and Philly, while I think Philly has the tie-breaker on TB)
^this is a Pogo joke that I'd be surprised if any of you get
^^as a Habs fan, I need to be clear that Boston is the team I hate most, not Toronto.
