In the simplest terms, ignoring all the other possibilities, here’s what it comes down to for the Komets. If Florida goes 7-6 over its final 13 games (the Everblades are 5-4-1 over their last 10 games), the Komets need to go 10-1-1 or earn 21 points over their last 12 games to tie. The Komets are 3-6-1 over their last 10 games, but 2-0-1 over their last three.
ECHL Tiebreaking formula:
If Two Teams Tie
1. Wins, regular season (excluding shootout wins)
2. Goal differential
3. Points, head-to-head (for two teams that have not played the same number of home games against the other tied team, the first game(s) played in the city that has the extra home game(s) shall not be included)
4. Winning percentage, division (if tied teams are from same division; if not, skip to 5)
5. Winning percentage, conference
6. Goals for, regular season
7. Goals against, regular season
8. Coin toss
If Three or More Teams Tie
Note: When two teams remain after the third or other teams are eliminated during any step below, the tiebreaker reverts to Step 1 of the two-team format.
1. Wins, regular season (excluding shootout wins)
2. Goal differential
3. Higher winning percentage earned in games against each other (for two teams that have not played the same number of home games against the other tied team, the first game(s) played in the city that has the extra home game(s) shall not be included)
4. Winning percentage, division
5. Winning percentage, conference
6. Goals for, regular season
7. Goals against, regular season
8. Coin toss
If the Komets lose one or both games next weekend, they are in an incredibly difficult situation.

Never,ever give up.
You've just got to play 'em one game at a time.
What's the deal with Hoban? Statistically he is a +5 in sixteen games with 4 goals and one assist. I see he is on the 21 day IR. Anybody know the real scoop?
He's got a bad shoulder and did not practice today. Kishel is back this week and Dunbar next week.
We've got to win number two in a row before we can get to 10-1-1! This weekend will be make or break!
I still believe!!!
Go for it K's.....one at at time....we are still behind you no matter what.
I will also be hoping Henley has a good game as well....wish you the best Brent.
Wow...although not impossible it sure seems unlikely that playoffs are in the cards this season. Maybe this will serve to wake up the organization from top to bottom and maybe even rejuvinate the fan base that has become very accustomed to winning and possibly even a little indifferent because of it (I don't mean to imply the entire fan base-more the casual fan that seems to support a winner only)
A Norfolk forward or two would help a great deal.....
