There's only one explanation I can think of for icing this roster tonight: this five game win streak was a warning to the league. Blake and Luc are simply telling the 31 other teams "this isn't even our final form". We forfeit the rest of the season, pick fourth overall (f***ing bullshit lottery), and trade our third round pick to coerce Seattle into selecting Michael "Mike" "Potato" Amadio. Blake then fires McLellan and hires me as coach. I ice this line up next season:
Turcotte - Kopitar - Kaliyev
Kempe - Byfield - Vilardi
Iafallo - Kopari - Madden
Grundstrom - JAD - Thomas
Power - Doughty
Bjornfot - Roy
Anderson - Walker
We go 82-0 en route to a 16-0 Stanley Cup victory.
