The 8th seed - it's either Montreal, Toronto, or New York Islanders


We're eagerly watching as to who will be Buffalo's opponent in Round 1. Here are the scenarios:

MONTREAL--
Controls its own destiny.
Win over Toronto in regulation or OT/SO and they are IN.

Loss in OT/SO means they are IN if the Islanders do not win both their games.

TORONTO--
Win over Montreal in regulation and if the Islanders do not win both their games and they are IN.
Toronto MUST beat Montreal in regulation. An OT/SO win means they are OUT.

Loss in OT/SO to Montreal and they are OUT.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS--
Win over Philadelphia Sat and win over New Jersey Sun a must.
AND
Toronto must W over Montreal either in regulation or OT/SO.

Schedule:
SAT: NYI at PHI, 1pm; MON at TOR 7pm
SUN: NYI at NJD 1pm

Ya think every TV set in Buffalo is going to be tuned into Hockey Night in Canada on CBC this Saturday?
