The only reason any of us care is that, based on today's Ducks-Kings result, if Tampa Bay gets at least one point (OT/SO loss or win) tonight, the Kings finish last and have the best odds of getting the first overall pick in the upcoming 2008 NHL draft. The order of lottery teams will be set on Monday, 4/7/08 at 5:00 pm PT | 8:00 pm ET at a televised NHL lottery event.
The Lightning are on a three game losing streak and Vincent Lecavalier won't be available (shoulder, operation coming). One of those three games was a home shutout loss to Atlanta (Lehtonen in net). Ilya Kovalchuk had both Atlanta goals that night. Oh, and it gets worse. Tampa Bay is 0-3-2 in its last five games against the Thrashers, and has only one win in its last six visits to Atlanta.
Let's go Lightning?

I'm really sad that the season is ending, as much as it sucked... but now that the Kings are where they are, I am cheering for the Lightning and hope they at least take it to overtime.
Atlanta won't want to win either because they'd pass St. Louis. This should be the worst game of the year..
Such a shame that we beat SJ..
St Louis is beating Cloumbus 2-0 and have another game left. I doubt they will be fired up tonight but I don't know if this game can impact their draft position unless the Blue Jackets get things going real quick.
All that needs to happen is overtime. One point for Tampa and the Kings finish 30th. Is it possible that both teams want to tank? We know Tampa does as they've been throwing games for the last week and a half. However, Atlanta doesn't want to see Tampa get the first overall pick, so it is possible that regulation might end in a 0-0 tie, which would leave us with...........
