Isles Magic Number is 28 (T: 27)

Numbers are countdowns for the playoffs. Only one can hit 0. The Magic # means you make the playoffs and the T# means you’re eliminated from making the playoffs. The Magic # goes down when we get points or when certain teams lose. T# goes down if we lose or when certain teams win

@LuckyIsles @LeftyStegman Yeah I don't know how they do their math but I am pretty sure I am right. Plus they have 9 Eastern teams with lower Magic Numbers, I don't think that's possible.

@LeftyStegman @IsleMagicNumber I feel like that site is inaccurate sometimes but I’m sure @IsleMagicNumber will double check.

The numbers cannot move tonight.

3/20/26 CAR, BUF, TBL are probably in, the last 5 spots will most likely come from this group. At least two have to be from the Metro. PHI has been doing well so I added them to the chart. There are 21 games left among these teams.

@nicolefshirman Long way to go. Gotta keep fighting.

The Islanders need to have this hanging on every free wall. I want it taped to the bathroom door s and the ceiling above their beds. I want it to be their new phone wallpaper. I want them to see it behind their eyelids when they try to sleep. This is bulletin board material!

@YesMenOutfitter @skuzzel_butt Number guaranteed to move Saturday.

@skuzzel_butt @IsleMagicNumber Yup, this is the stuff

Tell me something good please @IsleMagicNumber

@PatMcAfeeShow @islanders_takes Not his puck

Let’s get Jack Hughes his puck back

@MyersLorne Nope

@IsleMagicNumber It won’t move by 2 if CBJ loses in regulation?

The number moves if we get points. Moves by 2 if BOS or DET lose in regulation. Moves by 1 if BOS or DET lose in OT or CBJ loses in regulation. T# moves by 2 if BOS and DET get at least a point and CBJ wins. Moves by 1 if CBJ gets at least a point. Rooting Guide...

3/19/26 CAR, BUF, TBL are probably in, the last 5 spots will most likely come from this group. At least two have to be from the Metro. There are 16 games left among these teams, two of them tonight.

@jaclynxlaurie Get well soon!

When your throat hurts, which makes you feel nauseous for some reason, and your head feels like it's going to explode and is making your eyes tear <<<<< send help

3/18/26 CAR, BUF, TBL are probably in, the last 5 spots will most likely come from this group. At least two have to be from the Metro. There are 16 games left among these teams.

The numbers cannot move tonight.

Isles win! # moves to 28. Numbers done for the night.

@BHisa Yeah but if BOS wins in regulation it is not the end of the world, would pull MTL closer to being relevant.

@IsleMagicNumber Rooting for mtl over bos tonight, right?

3/17/26 CAR, BUF, TBL are probably in, the last 5 spots will most likely come from this group. At least two have to be from the Metro.

@justincusano The T# does yeah, either or both numbers move when we play.

@IsleMagicNumber It moves 2 also when we lose?

The number moves if we get points. Moves by 1 if BOS or CBJ lose in regulation. T# moves by however many points CBJ gets.

@justincusano No, it would be 30-29, we don't get points-CBJ wins-BOS gets at least a point.

@IsleMagicNumber So worst case tonight is 30-31?

3/16/26 CAR, BUF, TBL are probably in, the last 5 spots will most likely come from this group. At least two have to be from the Metro.

@LeftyStegman Nope unfortunately

@IsleMagicNumber So it can't move by 2 if they lose in regulation

The number moves by 1 if DET loses in any way. T# cannot move.
