i have big faith in the boys tonight. i will say i was very skeptical of their heart and willingness to battle after the jack injury/winnipeg game at the deadline.
the double beating of the Blue Jackets and the rangers game saturday showed this is one of the most resilient teams we’ve had in years. They know the talent isn’t exactly there, but everyone is stepping up. Nico, Jesper, Marky, even Timo who i genuinely thought was cooked.
they have given us no other reason to believe that whenever they need to, they can get the job done. they needed 4 points against CBJ. they Needed to bury the Rangers. They needed 2/3 wins on that Jets/Wild/Wild run.
With the playoff clinch in their hands, i can only think they will pull it out and get 2 points (or at least one) and i will be so proud of them when they do it. They really deserve the playoffs this year, even if it’s a short run.
