QOTD: Who do you want to see win tonight? Wpg or Van?

[GGG]

I think I say Jets, The Jets are getting guys back, Meyers and Stafford are both making Solid contributions. Their "tough" schedule hasn't affected them so far. They are a better team than Vancouver.

I see it more likely that Vancouver goes 5-5 then Winnipeg goes 6-4. But really the answer is just end in regulation. I don't think we catch either Winnigpeg or Vancouver and need to keep pace with LA to make the playoffs.

[azzarish]

Vancouver.

The Jets have a difficult schedule, and a loss tonight could potentially start a snowball effect where they lose those tough games. I'm not saying that will definitely happen, but it will start that next segment with more pressure on them. I think Vancouver will get in personally; they've just been playing well enough all season to warrant a playoff spot and I can't see that changing now. So, I want to make it as hard as possible for the Jets.

Why is there no option in the poll for a giant meteor hitting the building?

And Jets.

[Dr. Doom]

I think it comes down to which team is more likely to choke down the stretch.

Jets are a freight train that isn't stopping.

Canucks could lose a few here.

I'd rather the Canucks lose in regulation for sure.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

The Jets have won five straight... can they really keep this pace up?

[Red Menace]

I don't think it matters much either way as long as it ends in regulation.
I guess a WPG loss is probably slightly better for us.....but we can also catch VAN, so it wouldn't be terrible if they lost.

[foshizzle11]

I really don't think the Kings are going to make the playoffs, the Flames, Jets and Canucks will stay where they are.

So, tonight I want the Jets to win, I want the Canucks to lose as much as possible so we can get ahead of them.

I still want the Kings to miss more than anything, it would be great if Boston and LA were out this year.

Buckle up everyone, we're in for a wild finish. Pretty incredible to be where we are. 9 games left and talking about potential home ice in the playoffs

Let the record show this is exactly when the jynx came into effect. With no knocking on wood and mentioning home ice, we're doomed!


Voted Jet win. I think we have a better shot of getting in via Pacific than we do wild card.

How do you know I didn't knock on wood?

[iLoveLamp]

Jets. I don't think we should be worrying about Wild Card spots anymore, just division. That way, if somehow we end up passing Vancouver, home ice in the first round would be nice!

[KipperFaNaTic]

There should've been a third option Bingo. Doesnt matter as long as it's not a three point game.

[edn88]

Same - my preference is for Jets, but dont really care as long as it is not a 3 point game.

[tripin_billie]

I have this fear that in an NHL first, some sort of error will result in both teams getting 2 points. I think the out of town scores have made me go insane.

This is just crazy talk. Any path to the playoffs is a path to the playoffs and both are equally plausible avenues.

[N-E-B]

Vancouver because even though I think we can catch them, I'd rather Winnipeg fall out just in case LA catches us. At least we'd have the last wild card spot to fall back on.

^^^ I tend to agree most with this. I like a back up.

[Enoch Root]

I chose the Jets for a couple reasons:

1) I am assuming that the Kings will beat the Nucks when they play (if not - great, but assuming they will). That eliminates the game in hand that the Nucks have, so if they lose tonight and we win tomorrow, we are tied with them again. And that means it's back to 3 teams fighting for 2 divisional spots.

2) I hate the Canucks.

If the Nucks win, then I will start hoping for the Jets to continue to lose and the Flames pass them. But until that time, I can't root for Vancouver.

[Gaudfather]

If the Flames can lap the Canucks for the No.2 seat in the Pacific Division - would give them home ice advantage in Round 1 - go jets!
