Well Edmonton came back with a win tonight, might still knock out nashville considering 2 outta nashvilles 3 last games are tough and if they go that way and edmonton wins against vancouver, they'll be out and Oil will be in, so it isn't outta the picture yet.

Only through one period but this isn't good for Edmonton:

Predators 2

Blackhawks 0

That was Nashvilles easy game, it was expected they'ld win... it would have been a major bonus for Nashville to lose. Now St. Louis and Nashville face off Saturday. If someone wins that game, the winner will be outta reach for edmonton, if they tie, then edmonton can take soul possession of 7th place. Either way, edmonton will have atleast 1 team that they can surpass. Nashville and St.louis both playing respectable opponents the very next day in the AFTERNOON, notably, Nashville is playing Colorado. St. Louis will be up against Minnesota only, but atleast they're a team that'll give you a tough game to the very end of the season well after their fate has been decided. But Colorado will be fighting for position still, and no team wants to lose going into the playoffs no matter what.

EDIT: as well Vancouver will be coming off a tough game against San Jose and then have to come back next day to play the Oil, I hope for the sake of the Oilers, Vancouver beats San Jose to give Colorado the extra incentive for beating Nashville to gain position over Vancouver with their loss to the oil, and with all that in place, no canadian teams in the west will have to play each other first round :D

I'd rather them not have... now we have to play the Predators. I'd rather play the Blues.

The Preds will be hungry but I still think you're better off where you are because St. Louis still has some remarkable talent.

As for my Leafs its time for the Sens once more and if Lalime stays down I'd say we have a very good chance at winning.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
