That's the otherside of Lack's potential. To be ####ing abysmal and give up weak, gross goals against weak, gross players.

Oilers have been playing loosey goosey these days though (nothing to really worry about anymore), so I'm not sure every game is a given against them. You never know.

Now that Edmonton is officially eliminated, Yakupov is going to double his production.

Jets @ Blues

with our OOT luck lately, and since I never win @ sports select. I picked up a ticket to see if the OOT will turn in the flames favor tonight.

Spoiler!

Heh. All that's going to happen is two of the teams will win and the third will lose in extra time.

[The Fonz]

I did the same Proline strategy today as well.

Now watch all of them win in a shootout.

Quick somebody purchase a $2 all tie ticket for that. Pays out $430

I'm scared that it'll happen now, so I'm on my way to get an all tie ticket.

And maybe a 2 winner/1 tie, ticket.

[Otto-matic]

Varly out for tonight VS kings, Berra in net?

Set this up as a win for LA.

[MissTeeks]

Pickard is starting, not Berra:

“@Avalanche: Roy confirms that Pickard will start tonight. Varly is day to day with a groin injury.”

9th Los Angeles - 75 PTS - 17 GR
10th San Jose - 72 PTS - 16 GR

Tonight's games: ANA @ VAN, PIT @ SJ

A regulation loss for San Jose tonight, and I'd say we could drop San Jose out of the race. They'd need a 12-3 record thru their remaining 15 games to reach 96 points.

They won... Look to be in the race to me??

I'm hoping aboard the sports select train.

Going to get a WPG, LA, MIN win ticket and an all tie ticket too.

[The Fonz]

Covered a few of our bases... I've got:

$10 on WPG, MIN, and LA, all winning in regulation = $72
$3 on WPG, MIN, and LA, all going to SO (tie) = $645
$3 on WPG + LA going to SO, MIN winning in regulation = $153

I had posted that a few hours prior to the game last night. Meant if they happen to lose.

[Obsidian]

If none of these teams lose I'm gonna break stuff.

I don't expect everything to go perfect, but at LEAST better than last frickin night.

Barely in it, just hanging on by a thread.

[Tsawwassen]

5. Colorado (30-26-11) 22 ROW, 71 pts
6. Dallas (30-27-10) 27 ROW, 70 pts

Wild, Kings, and Stars won in regulation
Avalanche and Jets lost in regulation

Please please change this thread title

[Resolute 14]

Winnipeg's loss is huge. San Jose is barely on the fringes right now, so as long as we maintain our own play, we only need one more team to fall out. It would be kind of neat if the Jets did sneak in themselves, but as long as they are the only team treading water or worse, then we need them to keep losing.

It will be very interesting to see how they rebound from last night. Went from the motivating and energizing comeback to the utter deflation of being Pavelec'd.

[Erick Estrada]

Looks like it's going to be between the Kings, Flames, and Jets as the Wild have almost punched their ticket and the Canucks should soon.
