It is true, however, that a No. 1 seed is a longshot - and there's a long way to go to get one and the margin of error is extrememly slim ... And a No. 2 seed would be pretty darn good enough anyway.  But it's worth shooting for a No. 1.[/q]

Agreed.  I like pulling for a 1 seed by pulling for the team to win every game through the rest of the season and let the chips fall where they may.  Analyzing the math to this absurd degree with a month to go in the season is just a plain waste of time (Adam I recognize that you were just responding to my post and that you have not otherwise contributed to this--in my view--nonsensical thread.)

Can all you math geeks please quit it with this ridiculous thread?  Didn't you learn anything from 2 years ago???  If the Red had been a 2 seed in our region and BC had been the 1 seed, does that mean that BC would have won the game?

What does it matter if we are a 1 seed or not?  What matters is what happens on the ice, and whether the team plays strong down the stretch.  By the same token, bad losses down the stretch would be bad because they suggest that the team doesn't have what it takes to win it all, and NOT because they hurt the team's standing in some mathematical equation.  Win and everything else will take care of itself, 1 seed or not.  Now please cut it out with this mental masturbation and worry about something that matters.
