You guys may hate the 3 point game, but the fact that everyone is so close does make for an exciting finish to the season every year!<br /><br />We just posted a different take on the playoff push: http://www.habsradio.com/2010/03/15/tony-montana-to-nhl-say-hello-to-my-little-team/<br /><br />Arpon, you get a shoutout about halfway through :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246150672753086269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-31217973759826909992010-03-15T14:02:04.785-04:002010-03-15T14:02:04.785-04:00The three-point game is the only reason the standi...The three-point game is the only reason the standings are as close as they are to begin with. The Bruins have 12 loser points this season, Montreal only has six, and the Rangers have nine. Ottawa would be leading the division if it weren't for the third point. It's a factor this week, but the Habs can just as easily go to overtime as any of the other teams. The only time it really hurts is when two teams you're fighting for a playoff spot go to overtime.Arpon Basuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11896844844557916169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-52219319200930311792010-03-15T13:34:47.944-04:002010-03-15T13:34:47.944-04:00@Sliver24: That is a really good point.

Even if the bruins lost all of their games but did so 3 times, or even just twice. If we lose even one of our games they would be within a win or two of catching us. And that is with losing all their games this week.Paul O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00323764771486243680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-68462336092986658892010-03-15T10:12:47.034-04:002010-03-15T10:12:47.034-04:00One major deciding factor for the Habs at the end ...One major deciding factor for the Habs at the end of the week will be the number of three point games played by the teams they're battling with for a playoff spot. <br /><br />The Habs are looking great right now, but if a bunch of those games go into OT/SO, the gap could close much more quickly than if each of those games was only worth two points.Sliver24https://www.blogger.com/profile/18265463707412654815noreply@blogger.com
