If Montreal wins, and Pitts either OT's or loses, Montreal is Conference champs. However I do believe if they BOTH win, Montreal still is champs, cause its a tie and it goes to the PP%, which Montreal blew every team out of the water this year.
So no matter what, Pitts at least needs to get one more point then Montreal, and the only way is if Pitts wins or OT's, and Montreal OT's or flat out loses, respectivly. I'll be watching eagerly all weekend. Cause even if Montreal lose, god forbid, on Sat, as long as Pitts does also we win
EDIT: I'm excited.
yeah basicly if we win tomorrow its pretty much done.
EDIT: actually i just recehcked and it seams like tie break rules are:
two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:
1. The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
2. The greater number of games won.
3. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.
4. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.
that mean if we win we will have 47 wins and pitts win they will have 48wins. that sucks cause it mean that we need to not tie with pitts but really have at least 1 more point
