What a crazy finish to the season, this may have been one of the most exciting finishes ever! The Devils came from a huge margin (13 points) to take first place by 2 points going into tonight's game. The Boston and Ottawa game has a huge impact on who wins our championship! Reminder, the tiebreaker IF there is a tie is the points of the 13th forward.
Some details for tonight:
Devils: 655 points
Coyotes: 653 points
Coyotes have 2 players playing: Jagr (Inj - Flu) and Rask is the starting goalie for Boston
Devils have 2 players: Alfredsson (drop) and B. Marchand playing
There are various possible scenario's for the championship, though these are the 3 most likely:
Coyotes Win Championship - Possible Scenario #1
Rask (Boston) wins and Marchand does not get any points - there will be a first ever TIE in LTP history.
Coyotes will win the championship because their 13th forward Pavelski with 31 points is more then the Devils 13th forward (A. Tanguay with 27 points)
Devils Win Championship - Possible Scenario #2
Ottawa wins
Devils Win Championship - Possible Scenario #3
Boston wins and B. Marchand gets a point and Rask does not get an goal or assist.
