vs - who is going to get the most points and therefore not get the 1st overall pick (#notanking)

Really good to see LA pushing for a playoff spot but could be in tough against the defending cup champs in Slack's Blues.
Weird to see Tony on the lower half of the bracket but that is the way it goes some years, just ask myself or Tyler.
Vancouver's goalie situation has propelled them to the top of the Pacific and could be a scary team to face in the playoffs with Anderson returning to the net as well.
The 4 vs 5 matchup should be interesting to watch as 2 original six division rivals face off in a quality matchup!

Good luck to all on this final playoff push.

Sucks to be on the outside but that's what happens with Quick out for the year since day 1 and not being able to acquire another G. Anaheims future and young guns coming up give some hope! So Drew I feel your pain seeing this is the first time since day 1 of the league we will not be contenders!!

Good luck to everyone when the playoffs get going!!

A 7 game loosing streak pretty much took me out of the playoffs

Guess I shouldn't have set my lineups 2 weeks in advance **just kidding**

Looks like my team drafted Laine last year and we won't mind adding Nico this year. Boston is determined to reach #1.

With Tampa playing the Rangers this week it would have been helpful if they set their lineups maybe I would have had a chance to make the playoffs.Pretty sad.Left some scorers on the bench for last 3 days. 

Now it looks as if I won't because of it.Something needs to be done about it IMO.

I set my lineups regardless.

Have to look at enforcing some penalties for these situations, this could also be the difference between 1st overall pick or not for another team.

Tampa was ahead till scores from yesterday but if other players would have played throughout the week score would have been close,now I probably won't get into the playoffs with the score the way it is and no way to catch up.Disappointing should I say.
