Super Tuesday

FOR HOCKEY FANS…THIS IS SUPER TUESDAY…
WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT WILL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT…NOT ONLY ON WHO GOES TO THE PLAYOFFS…
BUT ALSO THE MATCH UPS…ONCE THOSE PLAYOFFS BEGIN…
TO START WITH…COLORADO IS IN VANCOUVER…
THE CANUCKS ARE JUST 1 POINT UP ON NASHVILLE FOR THE 8TH AND FINAL PLAYOFF SPOT…
BUT THEY ARE ALSO 2 POINTS BACK OF CALGARY…
A WIN TONIGHT COULD PUSH VANCOUVER INTO A TIE FOR 7TH PLACE…
A LOSS COULD LEAVE THEM IN 9TH…
THE AVALANCHE COULD CATCH DALLAS FOR 5TH IN THE WEST…
IT WOULD ALLOW COLORADO TO AVOID MEETING SAN JOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND…
THE FLAMES ARE IN EDMONTON…
THE OILERS COULD CLIMB INTO 8TH PLACE WITH A WIN…BUT EDMONTON IS RUNNING OUT OF GAMES…
INCLUDING TONIGHT…THEY HAVE JUST TWO LEFT…
A LOSS WOULD ALL BUT ELIMINATE THE OILERS…
NASHVILLE IS IN ST. LOUIS…
THE PREDATORS HAVE COLLECTED 7 OUT OF 8 POINTS IN THEIR LAST 4 GAMES…
AND TONIGHT THEY COULD PASS VANCOUVER INTO 8TH PLACE…
IN THE EAST…CAROLINA IS IN WASHINGTON…
WITH A WIN…THE CAPITALS CAN MOVE FROM 9TH …TO A TIE WITH THE HURRICANES FOR THE NUMBER 3 SEED IN THE CONFERENCE…
A WIN BY CAROLINA WILL CLINCH THE SOUTH EAST AND IT WOULD KILL ANY REAL HOPES OF THE CAPS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS…
MONTREAL IS IN OTTAWA…
THE CANADAINS CAN MOVE BACK INTO FIRST PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE…
THE SENATORS CAN STILL PULL OFF THE BIGGEST COLLAPSE SINCE THE 1951 BROOKLYN DODGERS…
HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THIS TEAM WON 15 OF ITS FIRST 17 GAMES OF THE SEASON…
AND FINALLY…NEW JERSEY IS ON LONG ISLAND…
THE DEVILS HAVE LOST 5 OF THEIR LAST 6 AND STILL HAVE NOT CLINCHED A PLAYOFF SPOT…
THEIR FINAL 3 GAMES ARE AGAINST BOSTON…PHILADELPHA…AND THE RANGERS…
ALL OF WHICH ARE BELOW THEM IN THE STANDINGS…AND ALL OF WHICH ARE FIGHTING FOR ONE OF THE 5 REMAINING PLAYOFF SPOTS IN THE EAST…
TRUST ME ON THIS…THERE’S NO REAL POINT IN EVEN LOOKING AT YOUR PLAYOFF POOL UNTIL TOMORROW…AT THE EARLIEST…
