Nope. As long as Ottawa does NOT win in regulation, they are still in. OTT needs a 3 point regulation win to tie in points. OTW, OTL, or just a loss don't get them to tie up with Boston or MN.

Well, backing into the playoffs doesnt give much hope. They have been playing like crap since even before the break for Worlds.

That said, am I feeling _positive_ about they way they've been playing the last few weeks? ...
