So are you saying that they're not in a wildcard race because
you don't think it's as valid now because there's an extra spot available?
That's a bit silly.
If the NHL went from 16 to 18 teams making the playoffs and we finished a point out of the playoffs, would you not think that we were in a playoff race?
