Win or lose, they need to play the right way.

We have to have faith Berube will get them back on track, that's the Hail Mary we've got as fans at this point. You know he and Brad want it as much as anyone but so have other coaches I'm sure.

I have to think when guys built their own careers in the NHL through uphill battles such as Berube did, he is going to extend less latitude to players who just want to play shiny hockey or go for a casual skate as if at the local rink when a hard checking game/net presence is required.

The best reminder would be cutting ice time for some guys. If losing 5-1 or something similar in a game, give PP time to different players, even 4th Liners if they are playing the right way as opposed to stars who might not be, that sort of thing.
It's the injuries right now.

No stolarz no tanev no Matthews? That's your top goalie top forward and top defenseman. And you are trying to beat a top team in the west while playing a loaded scheduled week?

Oh and last time we played we beat them?

Ya that's gonna be a loss.

Likely, but if they lose today they're only 4 points up on Boston in the same amount of games. Even Ottawa is in striking distance. If they go on a bad skid they could easily end up a wildcard.
Yeah I could totally see that, then it’s simply the usual - Rd 1 and done. From Jan4th to 16th they play 7 times against Boston, Philly (twice), Carolina, Jersey, Vancouver and Dallas. Poor performance there and wildcard might be wishful thinking

Pretty sure they got Tanev and OEL. Those two are legit. If you say otherwise you are being an emotional soy.
Oel not a right shot mccabe got used to playing on his forehand and Rielly can’t play is off side so he’s right we need a real top 4 dman
