I understand. My point is that their four wins in last five games are against bad teams so unconvinced they are suddenly a good team again. Let's see how they handle real competition.But we have enough difficult schedule too.

It's Tuesday, we are back on the ice @ Bolts who are playing the second half of back to backs. Lots of other games important to us going on as well...
Preds @ Bruins: Let's Go Preds. I am not very hopeful for this game, without any moves yet, the Bruins veteran squad is still intact and trying to make the playoffs. Until something happens this team is still dangerous.
Canes @ Wings: Let's Go Canes. Some might not agree with me here but I think it's more important to improve our WC positioning where we currently are sitting rather than hoping we can catch the Canes in front of us. I think we can all agree the worst outcome is an overtime three point game. Wings gotta be feeling the heat after losing two straight games to us.
Flames @ Flyers: Let's Go Flames. I feel like I keep rooting for the Flames and they keep letting me down. And yet...they are currently holding on to the last WC spot in the West. Seems like neither Calgary or Vancouver really wants the spot. Meanwhile, with Torts looking like Count Rogen, I look at the Flyers and think "Good heavens, are you still trying to win?"
Jets @ Isles: Let's Go Jets. The Flyers and Jets have the same point percentage so if I am watching one I guess I am watching the other. The difference is that the Isles can't get out of their own way and are foundering while the Flyers still seem competitive and surprising opponents.
Devils @ Stars: Let's Go Stars. This might be last but definitely not least. If we could win tonight and the Devils lose we would be just three points behind them (considering we get embarrassed by the #1 tiebreaker) with two games at hand. Miraculous really. We are five points out of the #3 Metro spot with two games at hand and three points ahead of the top non-wild card spot.
Bonus games...
Pens @ Avs and Wild @ Kraken: Let's Go Avs and Kraken. I know it's a small thing but if the Avs win (likely) and Wild lose (maybe), the Wild would drop out of third and into the WC spot. That's a playoff matchup with Vegas rather than Dallas. I guess neither is likely to go well for the Wild. That 1st round pick for Jiricek is looking more like a top twenty pick as the season drags on.
