In-order to secure their postseason spot, Colorado Rapids 2008 Boys had to do more than just win these 2 games (see below):

- The math demonstrated that winning these 2 games would produce a PTS-G tie vs Utah Avalanche 2008 Boys... but that team had a Goal Differential advantage of +11, which they also had to overcome...
- ... and they did! They won these 2 games with an aggregated GD of 14.
