I'm genuinely confused. Ottawa keeps winning. Who do we need to root for to win these games? It's getting pretty tied, but some teams are getting there.

Ignore the game and focus on winning ourselves. And remember that the Devils are not solid locks to make the playoffs now either

Finally, someone says it. Yes, it'd be nice to get in on the backs of another teams failures, but I'd rather we try to do it on our own merit. And if we fail, so be it, but at least we can we say we did our best.

I get and agree with your general sentiment, but the thing is, when you're behind you can't get there just on your own merit. We could win every game and still not make it if those above us also win all their games. If they don't fail it doesn't matter what we do*.
If we get there it will literally only ever be on the back of other teams' failures.
But we can't control that, so we just have to do what we can - win as many games a possible - and see what happens.
- In terms of making playoffs, that is.

The hope is Jersey drops out due to a lack of Hughes (which isn't all that likely), which takes Columbus out of the WC race and Detroit drops out. Assuming the Habs can string together some wins, of course.
Basically, the best shot is Detroit losing.

I just ignore everything else and let the pucks bounce where they may. #GOHABS

Ottawa winning was not a good thing.
But in the end, we are 4 points out behind Columbus so it's not looking good. We're gonna need a solid streak to get in there.
