Gozling, Peerless has a nice breakdown on his blog at http://peerlessprognosticator.blogspot.com/2008/03/standings-that-matter.html

@ Gozling:
Here are the basic tiebreaker rules . . . and yes, we’re hoping to apply them to the current situation in the East later in the week, but for now at least you can see the official NHL tiebreakers:
1. The greater number of games won [OC Note: e.g., 41-41-0 beats 40-40-2].
2. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any “odd” games, shall be used to determine the standing.
3. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.

@ Sovsport:
I listened to part the game on 1500 AM on my way home from dinner. Not sure if it was bumped from any of the other 3WT stations.

Keeping such hours, you need a new boss.

I was driving home from work and wanted to listen to the game on the radio — no luck! Was there no broadcast?

Any chance you guys could go through the tie break situation? Wouldn’t want it to come to that but with everything so tight there at the bottom it is a possibility
Thanks

On Comcast they cut off the first shot (by Carolina) but the rest of the Shootout was intact. Terrific shot by Kozlov!

A personal favourite of mine (and the rest of OFB) is Gordon Biersch 1 1/2 blocks west of Verizon Center on F Street. I’m a bit partial as I know the brewer.
Clyde’s, Irish Channel, District Chophouse and other fine establishments with tasty puck sodas that are usually filled with like minded individuals.
The Mrs. and I will be ditching the kids for the last game and may enjoy a few at GB.

Whew! Glad I didn’t watch after the 1st period, then hotdog. Question to the OFB folks: do bloggers and fans hang out at a certain bar/restaurant (e.g.-Clyde’s) before and/or after games? I’m heading down for the last 2 games of the regular season and I’d like to mingle with other fans and bloggers before or after them.
