At this point, we're not even cheering for anyone.

We're just cheering for regulation.

Like if you're one of the teams that like, just, you know, give me it.

And that's why the teams actually would have seen the result of the Ottawa Islander game.

13 seconds left.

Having Ottawa win that regulation, like, okay, yes.

I mean, Ottawa gets two points, but the point is, there's not three for the game.

Same thing in the Montreal game.

It was going down the last minute.

A brutal, tough turnover by Mike Matheson, and Detroit wins it late.

But, yeah, it's going to be...

There's so many different permutations of how teams could make it, whether it's being third or second in the Metro or being a wildcard team or maybe being third in the Atlantic, that it's hard to figure how it's all going to shake out.

I just thought this, that the Canadians who have been sort of comfortable and celebrated and exciting and all things going great.

are now tied for eighth.

They're also tied for third, but they're tied for eighth in their division, which is perilously close to being out of the playoffs, which is something they haven't even thought about for a long time.

Except, if I'm not mistaken, Florida's pick is top 10 protected.

Not top 5 protected.

So, much more comfortable for picking up the odd point for Florida compared to Toronto.

But, I digress.

If you're Edmonton, I think the whole year has been frustrating.
