Blues win in OT!!
Damnit.
But the more important result (from my perspective) was that Vancouver beat Anaheim! I almost want to take back every unkind thing I've ever said about the Canucks and the Sedins.
The Kings and Anaheim are now tied with 91 points and both teams having 5 games remaining. The Kings have 5 more ROW than Anaheim, so that tiebreaker is pretty well in hand. STL also has 91 points and the same number of ROW as the Kings but one game in hand on both the Kings and Anaheim.
Part of me wants Colorado to win tonight to knock Anaheim out of the second wild card spot, but I think the Kings' interests are ultimately best served by Colorado losing, so GO FLYERS.
The big showdown between the Kings and Anaheim looms on Friday. I just hope the Kings show up to play against Arizona tomorrow. I'm sure Jack Campbell will start in net because of the back-to-back, and that game has huge potential to be a trap game for the Kings.
