The way it looks now (I think I am reading it right)...
If the Hawks beat the Wings in regulation Saturday, they will be 5th and play the Preds in Round 1.
If the Hawks win in overime or lose, they will be 6th and play the winner of the Pacific division, which is still up for grabs with L.A., San Jose and Phoenix all having a shot (at least until the end of the L.A. - Sharks game tonight).
Would it be un-fan-like of me to root for an OT win by the Hawks rather than a regulation one?
