Interesting game, both teams control their destiny to take the division yet neither can clinch today.

Destiny usually means you can't control it.  I don't like that sports cliche.

Couldn't they? The only central team in a wildcard is Nashville, Vegas holds the other one and could leapfrog LA and take the last divisional slot. They both have three games left and LA's only a point ahead of Vegas. 

 

Unless I've read what you said wrong? 

 

Most teams have a preference, but it really looks like a pick your poison thing this go round. Nashville's a legitimate threat with good tending, Vegas has Stone on the way and just got Hertl into the lineup, and LA's LA. 

For me, it is a matter of travel so Vegas is closer and is in same time zone than Nashville and I would like them to stay in the Pacific even if they have cheated in term of salary cap and ITIR and it is suspicious.  That is my reasoning.  If we can beat them, we have a much better chance of winning the Cup than Nashville due to travel.  Don't want to travel in two potential series to Central time zone teams in the same playoffs.  I wish that they scrapped the wildcard system.

Pre-dinner glass of wine with the wife ... what is for dinner, thank you for asking ... an excellent dry rub marinated pork back ribs (very meaty ones) and slow cocked

 

This Beringer wine is excellent if anyone is looking for a good drop to try.

Ummm, no thanks to the ribs, sounds like a tasty wine though 😉

Placed a bet on Oilers to win. Last time I did this they lost to the Coyotes.. Let's hope this works again.

You just ruined it

Only one of them will lose their destiny after tonight game in regulation and will need lots of help.  Edmonton has to come up with 5 points if they win via the OT since Canucks owns the tiebreak.  If the game ends in OT, a tiebreak will be Canucks' advantage this year if they both don't lose any more games next week.
