Watching the way they play this year and how they are getting the wins, the former feels much more likely than the latter, but I expect it will be a battle nonetheless. Looking great so far though.

The crushing defeat actually becomes pretty difficult to due. At 10 games over .500 just playing .500 hockey the rate of a bottom 5 team would get us to 92 points and a 50/50 shot at the playoffs. It’s not certain, but it takes an epic collapse from here to miss the playoffs.
