I know it's ridiculous to say this in the month of December but if we let this game get away I don't see this team being in the playoffs. It'll take a miracle for us to make it.
Don't just evaluate teams based on record. Plus, the first 12 games still count.Best team in the entire league since october 31st. How is that mediocre?
Agreed, Nicky. Just a pain that they’ve skated so well all period and then that goal happens. C’est la vieVery hard to control a pass shot that hard off your skate. Props to Backstrom for a good play and a great shot.
Yeah because that's what we've been doing the last 10 games, losing in humiliating fashion, right?Oh come on now. They'll get one back with a few minutes left in the third for the tease, but give up an empty netter the second Hank's butt touches the bench.
Do you watch this team play? Even in games they win, they look terrible for significant stretches. They are regularly dominated 5 on 5. The penalty killing is average. Without Zib, the powerplay looks bad. Hank is much more inconsistent than he used to be. The coach can't motivate and makes bad personnel decisions. I could go on.Best team in the entire league since october 31st. How is that mediocre?

Because it should have been 6-0 after the first period.

You're assuming that all the teams ahead of us will keep winning and winning and have no slumps (like we had to start the season) or major injuries...that's pretty bold.I know it's ridiculous to say this in the month of December but if we let this game get away I don't see this team being in the playoffs.

We'll have to rely on other teams failing. That isn't a good position to be in.You're assuming that all the teams ahead of us will keep winning and winning and have no slumps (like we had to start the season) or major injuries...that's pretty bold.
The combination of those two stretches equals a mediocre record which is what this team is.So does the last 15 games. Far from mediocre.
