We don't get hurt immediately, because NYI just lost to Toronto. Pittsburgh though has three games remaining against bottom-dwellers, so it is quite possible they end up with 103 standings points. We probably need a win in the last two games to clinch the Division. But that may be a good news/bad news scenario since we could be very well pitted against a suddenly hot CBJ team in the first round.

When I made this previous post I hadn't noticed that Detroit, who Pittsburgh plays in a home-and-home series, has quietly gone 7-3 in their last 10 and have won 5 straight. I guess the Pens had better not sleep on them.

Yep, despite there record, The Wings are better than most people think,(IOW, their loses are typically close and well played. They also just extended their coach after not making the playoffs again. Given how they’ve been playing, it’s very possible the Hens won’t win both maybe get swept.

That only deals with Pittsburgh. If the Caps beat Montreal on Thursday they win the Metro, and that's that.
FWIW, the official announcement was made today: Michael Kempny is out for the rest of the season, no matter how long it lasts. He's had surgery for a torn hamstring and will be out 4-6 months. You can bet he's not going to be ready to play NHL-level hockey at the beginning of next season, either.
I presume Siegenthaler comes up when the playoffs start, but will he do anything but sit there and look pretty? OH WAIT .... he's already up, and just sitting there and looking pretty.
