Dallas magic # is 1, with the caveat that any game going to OT for Colorado gives Dallas the 2 seed, when it comes to home advantage in the series.

Colorado can still theoretically over take Dallas on RW (first tie breaker), but Dallas has a 4 ROW lead with 3 games remaining.

Dallas doesn't require a complete collapse too close out the season from Winnipeg, like Colorado would require from Dallas to get the 2 seed, but Dallas would need to win tonight in regulation to tie in RW and bring the lead down to 2 pts.

Dallas would then need to finish this 3 game stretch with 2 more points than Winnipeg, and 1 more regulation win.

Dallas can't catch Winnipeg in ROW(2nd tie breaker). They can theoretically over take Winnipeg in RW, even with a loss tonight.

This game matters, but as is the nature of this game, it's quite silly.

And that's Y, I ramble.

If Washington falls off, you'll Z what I'm saying.

Why does that bobble head look like Mikko Rantanen?

I guess stock from Carolina & Colorado are no longer need.

Ok, just googled Mikko Rantanen bobble head, & i feel justified.

(No, they look nothing alike, but the hardware is what we're after. Justified.)

Too line should drive play every shift… Hintz doesn’t, as good as he is in literal bursts.

Robo-Johnston-Rat

Benn-Duchene-Granlund

March-Hintz-Bourque/daddy

Gives us 2incredibly strong lines that are controlling action every shift… AND reward our best players with the best wings to help them… and helps Rat by giving him a better play making center… every shift!!!

If you look at every line as having a quick shift player, allowing for better in game rotation while providing opportunity for extended shifts from above & below in the lineup, I think you have a damn fine mix to get it done.

Ya I really don't get their hesitation to shake up the d pairs a bit but maybe they think there's not much else they can do (which is probably true unfortunately).
