Keep Calm and Carey on...

[Pheebs888]

The Carey Price show was great in Raleigh tonight but it didn't have the desired ending for the Habs: https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=98515

What say you? Come April 6th, will the Habs be in or out? 7 points out of a possible 8 this week...

Discuss :)

Thanks for the looks and replies!

Jackets have a game in hand, but are two points back. If the Habs go 4-2.... which I think is reasonable.... can Columbus go 5-2 ??

So long as they play above .500, I think Montreal is safe. Thursday vs Columbus is a huge game though.

Six game left. No gimmies, that's for sure. Florida, Columbus (BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR!), and Winnipeg this week. I think we can reasonably hope for 4 points. Beating Winnipeg would be great, an OTL would be acceptable. LOL

Also, looking beyond just the Habs, check out Carolina's schedule for their next four games: Capitals twice, Philly, and Pittsburgh. They could wreck the Metro. If they win both games against the Caps, they're only one point behind the defending Champs. If the Caps win both those games, it's a huge booster for MTL and CBJ. Fun times!

I've given up predictions, they always make me look stupid. I will say this about Carey, though. From the beginning of December until now he has been the best goalie in the league, hands down. Great to see him back in form.

Ummm, ever heard of Binnington? ;)
21-4-1 since his first start on Jan.7. What are Carey's stats in that timeframe?

Good point, although Price has been playing very much like the Price of old as of late.

They're in really tough now......

Tied with the Jackets... and Columbus has games vs the Rangers, Sabres, and Senators (to close the year) plus Preds & Bruins. 3-2 seems pretty likely.

If Columbus does that, Habs need to go 3-0-1 (or better), as they will lose the tie breaker..... unless by some miracle Columbus goes 3-2, but all three wins come via Shootout, so it goes to the next tie breaker and Montreal has the better head-to-head record this year.

Granted, nothing is for sure... it wouldn't surprise me, in the least, if Columbus went 2-3, which would leave the door open for the Habs to still have a shot.

No question, they're behind the 8 ball. But, let's not forget Carolina could fall out of it as well. It's going down to the wire. Considering what was expected at the start of the year, I will gladly take this. Exciting stuff.
