Magic numbers are figured out by the max # of wins (or in hockey's case points) of the chasing team vs the number of points(wins) of the leading team(s). Hockey also has the case of getting a point for a tie. If two teams end up in a tie the first tiebreaker is which team has more wins. In this case both the Bruins and Islanders have more wins right now on Saturday March 22, 2003. Since the maximum # of points the Rangers can get right now(It's Saturday morning as I type this.) is 86 and both the Islanders and the Bruins have 78 points, the magic or anti- magic # for the Rangers is 8. The Rangers would also have to win 3 games more than both the Islanders and Bruins down the stretch to knock it into the 2nd tie breaker of head to head competition. Of course if the Rangers get more points than one of these teams this whole post is rendered moot.Actually Rock, it is 9. The Rangers can reach 86 points if they run the table.
The Isles and Boston need 9 to eliminate them.
Hockey is life, the rest is just details.

The Bruins with a BIG win over Toronto, 3-2. You gotta figure that game disappointed a bunch of Ranger faithful.

That win by Boston means very little. The only Boston game that means anything the rest of the season in the playoff race is this Saturday against the Rangers.
Its down to the Rangers and Islanders, Boston is in...
Islanders win tonight they are up 3 games with 6 to play. They lose its 2 with 6 left.

For the first time this year, I'm going to call a game a "must win" for NYR. If The Rangers lose to the Penguins, it's over.

I think everyone would agree with that. In Baseball terms they are 3 back with 6 to go. They've got a long road ahead of them. Even if the Rangers won out, the Islanders would have to take 3 of the 5 other games - entirely possible. I'm not sure if I can count on Atlanta or Carolinia coming up huge the last weekend of the season to bail the Rangers out.
For this to get interesting, the Rangers have to win their next 4 no question and at most have the Islanders go 2-2. I'd like to see that. Like me, many of you will be at MSG for the Ranger / Devil game. Its been a long while since we've really see those teams play with something on the line...even if it is only one of the teams.

Is the first tiebreaker wins or head-to-head? If tied both teams will most likely be tied with wins, however the Rangers will have taken the head-to-head matchup.

1) Points
2) Wins
3) Head-to-Head (throwing out 1st game played, if odd # of games)
4) Goal differential (for 82 game season - not head to head)
5) Lower payroll (oops, rangers lose this one !)

Rag$ down 2-0 to the Pens at MSG after one. 
As much as I want the Devs to be the ones to close them out I'd laugh my a$$ off at the irony if a liquidated team was the one to provide the death blow to the $100 million team.

This is a disgrace. It's befitting though of their team because they are the most heartle$$ bunch I have ever watched.
Game over. Season over. And to think Mario didn't suit up.
The Pens don't need him.

Chants of "Refund, refund, refund" have gone up from the crowd.
The only players who showed up tonight are the fourth line, Leetch, Blackburn and Kovalev.
I hope they get rid of that pylon Poti. He sucks.

Yes
I've been to games the past few years and have taken part in that chant.
So, it was pretty easy to tell .
Well, it's a good thing I wrote them off after the Devil loss.
