We are playing well but so are the top-4. We will have to beat them to get up in the standings.
Yeah, each spot really matters, too...
5th - on the road vs a very good team
4th - home, but also against very good team
3rd - easy 1st round, but on the road in the 2nd round
2nd - have to face #1 on road in ECF
1st - obviously the best place to be
As it stands, I think we need to get ourselves up to at least 3rd. It would be great to be higher, but there are only 5 good teams in the East and I would rather an easy 1st round than anything else. Whoever ends up at 4+5 is going to have it so much harder than the other 3.
