The New York Islanders concluded the 2023-24 regular season by beating the Pittsburgh Penguins in regulation, giving the Isles 94 points to the Penguins’ 88, which one prays is a large enough margin for Pittsburgh media to accept that one will be in the postseason while the other stays home.
(It is absolutely hilarious that Penguins water carriers took great pains to create alternate universes with a “3-2-1-0” points system where the Penguins would still have a chance at a playoff spot in the final game...only to see them lose anyway, while every Penguin asked said changing the points system would be foolish.
