Unfortunately, that’s life. Although not quite mathematically eliminated, it’s doubtful that the stars align for us with only 5 games to go.
Provides a nice chance for some highly touted kids to get in and get a taste for some NHL games that are still somewhat meaningful to us. This isn’t a Spencer Foo situation, Suniev and Parekh could very well be the start of a new core. They did the best they could and surpassed all expectations. No shame in 9th this year because of that ridiculous Monahan trade so just got to keep pushing and maybe they’ll get lucky
