As Puck Daddy points out, whatever happens with the Sabres tonight, thanks to the stinkbomb the Rangers put out in the Thrashers game, the Hurricanes can clinch with a regulation/OT win vs Atlanta and then any win - even a shootout win - against Tampa Bay tomorrow night. If this scenario occurs, this would mean 2 straight years someone made it in by shootout, and also delicious Schadenfreude possibilities if NYR is a victim again.
