I can’t see us resting our players and frankly I don’t wanna see it You don’t win anything for winning the conference. Only conference banner is for advancing to the Stanley Cup finals. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstorm Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 3 minutes ago, -Buzzsaw- said: Not exactly.... VGK have 3rd place wrapped up. So its either Nashville or LA... personally I don't think either of them can beat the Canucks... I don't believe LA will continue its regular season edge. And if we win the Conference, i.e. we beat the Jets, then we have home ice advantage throughout the Western Conference. So we will not see Vegas in round 1?

coolboarder Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 1 minute ago, Barnstorm said: Thanks My question was … if we have clinched our division and Dallas has clinched the conference then we are guaranteed to meet the #1 WC which is guaranteed to be Nashville. The only way this changes is if we overcome Dallas and win both our division AND the conference . Then we would meet the 2nd WC who will be either LAK or VGK. Is this correct? Anyone? Thanks. Yes. Top team in the conference gets WC2 and that is reserved for LAK/VGK depending on results on Thursday and other will be P3. The Stars are in control of their destiny with just a point and if they lose with zero point, the Canucks will have the destiny on Thursday. It will come to the wire on game 82. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Buzzsaw- Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Just now, DeNiro said: You don’t win anything for winning the conference. Only conference banner is for advancing to the Stanley Cup finals. Wrong... You win home ice advantage throughout the West... if we lose to the Jets and they beat the Aves, then Jets have home ice. If Dallas takes the Conference, they have home ice. Home ice big advantage in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning the conference does win you home ice further down the road I believe. It’s been so long since we’ve been in regular playoffs I can’t get it straight.

Actually if Kings beat Hawks and Vegas loses to Ducks, then Vegas could be the opponent. But I think VGK and Kings win in both those games... in which case VGK is third place in Pacific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home ice big advantage in the playoffs. Yes, I agree. That is why it's important to come out of first 2 games in playoffs with 2-0 lead and could easily lose the home ice advantage if the result holds.

I doubt VGK loses to the Ducks. I think they win and therefore the Kings will be WC2. And the Kings are overrated... I don't think they beat the Canucks in a 7 game series. I think they got wins against us when we were playing backup goalies or were on a back to back. They are like Chicago in 2011...

Devron Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I don’t care who they play tbh. Tough matchup will just give them a boost if they win the series. Make Doughty cry or bounce the Golden Turds. I’d love to see both happen 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Buzzsaw- Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Anyway, it all depends on what happens with Dallas and St Louis. St Louis is out for revenge though... they got eliminated due to Dallas... they will want to be spoilers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
