Outside of Carolina, the next 10 games are winnable. Sens need a strong streak, something like 7-3 and they'll be right into it.

Playoff race is slowly running away. Too many teams ahead of us collecting points
We are not out of it at this time; however, if the team continues to play like crap as it did against San Jose, then they will not catch up.

I figure we need to get 10 points every 8 games to get in to the playoffs (100 points). We have 21 points in 22 games but should be trending to have 30 after playing 24 games.

If we win the next 2 games, we will have 25 after 24 games, 5 points behind a playoff pace.

This team has to smarten up fast. The game against San Jose was a major disappointment for me even though they won it. I don't have a lot of confidence in this team.

Even if they run off 4 wins in the next 4 games it'll only be worth like 1 or 2 places in the standings. To get a wild card is going to require an amazing stretch of hockey. Smh.

They just need 2 wins with their games in hand to be in the middle of the wildcard race. But with so many teams close, chances are half these teams get some separation and we will see who the real threats are for that last spot. Just a matter of what side of this bipolar team we get more of.

If we get good goaltending and 5 on 5 for a stretch maybe we can recover, we aren’t good enough to rely on special teams and hot/cold goalies.
