The biggest reason for the tightening between the teams in the playoffs is Minnesota. They simply pushed their way in and whomever would've been 8th is now 9th. Minnesota wasn't even an afterthought on January 14th. The real test is what they do with the league's hardest remaining schedule.

I have to admit that the Avs and Stars are in real trouble because they are acutally 8-10 points back of a playoff spot. The 2 wild card spots are both held by their division rivals and the Avs lose the first tie breaker because they have so few ROWs. It is amazing to see what the Wild have done since Jan. 14. Before they went on this wild streak, they lost 6 straight, earning just one point.
