So last night, Philadelphia lost to Buffalo in overtime. Gives Washington the conference title: but who they face in the first round of the playoffs depends on the outcome of the Carolina/Tampa Bay & New York Rangers/New Jersey games tonight.
My wife & I had the following IM conversation about this:

(me): Buffalo beat Philadelphia in overtime.
(wife): yay?
(m): Caps have the conference title.
(w): ah, cool
(w): all I knew from your first statement was hot wings won against steak sandwiches in some unexplained contest
