Final regular season NHL
Tonight will be held the last five matches of the regular season National Hockey League. Only two matches will be decided something important.
Already identified 15 participants in the playoffs, and only in the Western Conference remains to determine the last competitor. The drama of the situation is that it may be behind the current holder of the Stanley Cup - «Chicago Blackhawks». Chicagoans take on its site, the third team of the conference - «Detroit Red Wings». Second-club bidder - «Dallas Stars», which will play on the road with «Minnesota Wilds». Somehow, there is confidence that the holders of the trophy will not miss a chance to jump on the bandwagon.
And yesterday decided the fate of the last tour in the Eastern Conference. Alas, this is not happening in person meeting, but had plenty of passions. In order to get into the playoffs, «New York Rangers» it was necessary to defeat your worst enemies of the «New Jersey Devils». Until the second half of the second 20-minute "Rangers" had to be in the role of catch-up twice.
But then everything went like clockwork. Having finished the first period with the score 1: 2 in favor of "the devil" New Yorkers have thrown in the remaining 40 minutes of four unanswered goals and advanced to the playoffs.
«Caroline Hurricanes» themselves were to blame for the missed chance. On the eve of "Hurricane" bypassed the team from New York in the standings. But we managed to lose in the final game «Tampa Bay Lightings» with the score 2: 6.
In fact, anything can happen in the NHL, but in the evening when after the first period the score became 0: 3 few people have believed in the victory of the team from the Carolinas.
So, in the Eastern Conference couples were distributed as follows:
«Washington Capitals» - «New York Rangers»
«Philadelphia Flyers» - «Buffalo Sabres»
«Boston Bruins» - «Montreal Canadiens»
«Pittsburgh Penguins» - «Tampa Bay Lightning»
