Only one game happened last night that affects the Bruins' playoff chances, and the Bruins went ahead and lost it. Great job, jerks. Let's run through this, shall we?
The Table
The table and I have a love-hate thing going on. I created it, but it is throwing a tantrum and showing the Bruins in a bad light. Anyways, here it is. Remember, it's sorted by maximum possible points left:
| Place | Team | GP | W | L | OTL | PTS | ROW | Pot | Max | Det | Pit | Bos | Ott |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC3 | Detroit Red Wings | 80 | 42 | 25 | 13 | 97 | 38 | 4 | 101 | -- | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| WC1 | Pittsburgh Penguins | 80 | 42 | 26 | 12 | 96 | 38 | 4 | 100 | 5 | -- | 3 | 3 |
| WC2 | Boston Bruins | 80 | 41 | 26 | 13 | 95 | 37 | 4 | 99 | 6 | 5 | -- | 4 |
| Out | Ottawa Senators | 80 | 41 | 26 | 13 | 95 | 35 | 4 | 99 | 6 | 5 | 4 | -- |

Clinching Scenarios
If we win out, we still get in. Especially if one of those wins is a ROW. If not, it gets...complicated. We now go to a live feed of the Stanley Cup of Chowder staff trying to figure it all out:
