Since it looks like a pretty safe conclusion that the Penguins are going to lose tonight's game with the Ottawa Senators, tonight they will be mathematically eliminated from making the Stanley Cup playoffs. Now comes the chance to play spoiler. In order we play Montreal, the Islanders, Florida, the Islanders again, New Jersey twice, Florida again, Tampa Bay, Philly, the Rangers, the Islanders twice more, and ending with Toronto. With the exception of the Rangers and Philly, all of the teams the Penguins play fall in slots 6-12 in the Eastern conference. We have a pretty good chance of spoiling playoff bids for the Islanders, Florida, potentially New Jersey if they lose a few more, and the very last game of the season could mean quite a bit to Maple Leafs who are only 5 points out right now. Even though winning does nothing for us at the moment, it's sweet to see our victories prevent other teams from just stepping to the playoffs. Really it's what the Pirates could do if they won more games down the stretch.
