Who wins the eighth seed? NY Rangers or Philadelphia?

So in the past few days since I wrote about a blog determining who would get an eighth seed, I said that it was either between Boston and Atlanta and that the NY Rangers would be the odd ones out. John Tortorella might have heard me. The way the NY Rangers are playing now is at exactly the right time. Since Boston and Montreal claimed a playoff spot and Atlanta being eliminated, they have to fight the Philadelphia Flyers tomorrow to see who ultimately wins the chance to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs. It just so happens they are playing each other tomorrow at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, which will put the icing on the playoff cake. So you're probably wondering who wins, who ultimately gets that eighth seed and gets the Washington Capitals in the first round? Guess what? I'm going to head for the NY Rangers. Why? Because they have fought back from almost the bottom of the Eastern Conference pit and put themselves in very good position to get that seed. Henrik Lundqvist is playing well and even some players are getting some of the important goals that they head. John Tortorella is turning this team in the right direction for the moment. Another positive thing for the New York Rangers is the fact that they have played the Washington Capitals in the playoffs before last year and took them the entire seven games. Of course they lost the series, but they know they can do it again and hopefully put the pressure on the Capitals and Coach Bruce Boudreau to fight this team. So unfortunately for Philadelphia, it'll be the end. Brian Boucher has not done well for this team, and their offense is lacking, especially the last game against the New York Rangers at MSG, in which they lost and tied the Rangers for that last seed. Hopefully, it will be correct and the NY Rangers will indeed get that seed and play the Capitals in the first seed. It will be a fight to the end of the third period for the Flyers and NY Rangers.
