Islanders about to beat New Jersey, so I believe they clinch. What a turnaround for them. Yeah, they have a lot of loser points, but they've been playing great. Pittsburgh up two in the third on Nashville.
You can't rely on help from other teams because it won't happen. Just win.
Having said that, Ottawa is going to be a huge pain in the ass, and this won't be easy.
Yeah, there are franchises that have never won and been around awhile, or maybe just one. Winning is hard, especially in this day and age where it's four rounds of seven games. Anything can happen. It's a reason why the NHL postseason is the best.
