Also, for those saying that we're almost hopelessly out of the race,

We currently have 2 games in hand on all the 6th-11th place teams

If we make good on those 2 games, it puts us 1 point out of 6th place.

If they play like tonight against DET and CBJ, that gap could be made up pretty quickly (with the right results). Other teams might pick up points in the meantime, but them playing games will maintain our game/s in hand. At some point, each of those teams will sit while we're playing. It's all about us making good on those opportunities.

So as far as I'm concerned, they've gotta sweep tonight under the rug and just keep doing what they're doing and hope for better.
