Grade 4 math class time.
Tampa Bay has 89 points with 3 games (6 points) remaining. Therefore:
TB 0 W = 89 or 0 points
TB 1 W = 91 or 2 points
TB 2 W = 92 or 4 points
Toronto has 84 points with 4 games (8points) remaining. Therefore:
T 3W = 90 or 6 points
T 4W = 92 or 8 points
So, as you can see, the following combinations allow the leafs to make the playoffs:
TB 0W - T 3W or 4W
TB 1W - T 4W
If Toronto loses two or tampa wins 2 or gets 1 win and a tie/OTL (3 points), then the leafs are elimiated. Tampa will have more victories than toronto if they both end up with 92 points or 91 points so they take any tie breaker.
Also factored in is Atlanta, but that's a different story.
