All playoff teams settled!

Sorry Nashville and Minnesota, no playoff this year. Anaheim and the Blues clinched the last two spots last night and all 16 spots are filled.

Its now the real exciting part of the season begins!

2 spots left!

Rangers and Montreal snatched the last two playoff spots in the east.
Its still open in the west and Nashville 9th and Minnesota 10th faces each other in a very important game tonight. There's still 2 spots left in the west.

Congratulations Columbus!

Congratz Columbus Blue Jackets. The 4-3 shootout win against the Hawks gave them their first playoff spot in their club history!

I'm very happy for you!

4 spots, 8 teams!

8 teams is batteling for the last 4 playoff spots. Anaheim, St Louis, Nashville and Minnesota in the west. Montreal, Rangers, Florida and Buffalo in the east.

The playoff spots is getting filled.

The Pens have clinched the 6th playoff spot in the East and the battle of the two last playoff spots continues. As of now Montreal is 7th with 92p and Rangers 8th with 91p. Rangers that had a huge win last night when beating the mentioned Canadiens on home ice 3-1 is now two points ahead Florida Panthers and 6 points ahead Buffalo. I dont think the standings will change anymore despite the fact that Rangers has a back to back matchup against the Flyers. No, Florida faces of with Atlanta ,thats been doing great the last weeks, and then finishes the regular season on home ice against Alexander Ovechkins Capitals. Sorry Florida no playoff this year.

In the West Columbus is still hanging on to the 6th place in the standings yet to clinch their first playoff spot in the clubs history. With 90 points, 2 ahead of both Anaheim and St. Louis on 7th and 8th I think the Blue Jackets will have a little longer season this year than usual. Nashville, 9th with 86 points, and Minnesota, 10th with 85 points still have a chance for the playoff but I doubt they'll make it.

Oh this is exciting!

The Sens is out.

Florida Panthers was visited by Ottawa Senators and came out winning with 5-2. Panthers are still 9th with 87p in the Conference but with only one point up to the Canadiens there chance of making it to the playoffs is very good.
Ottawa Senators are now, as I thought, dashed from the playoffs. They fought good and had managed 10 wins in the last 13 games. Ranked 11th in the East Ottawa, a Stanley Cup finalist in 2007, will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 95/96 season.

Montreal Canadiens beat Chicago Blackhawks on homeice in a 4-1 win. The Canadiens 8th in the east with 88p.

Are you kiddin' me?!

Linus Omark pulls of a sick move in Swedens shootout win over Switzerland in an IIHF World Championship pregame today. Sweden won 4-3 after shootout where Linus Omark pulled of a sick move to give team Sweden the win. Linus Omark has been one of the best if not the best player in this years Swedish Elite League with 23 goals and 32 assists in 53 games. Omark was drafted in round 4th by Edmonton Oilers in 2007, #97 overall and will most likely be offered a contract for the next season. Its a shame Sweden will lose its upcoming star but its gonna be alot of fun for you guys on the other side of the atlantic. I hope Linus Omark will play for the Oilers next season.
