Playoffs Positivity Thread

They are on the peripheral of being "in the mix". They are as close to a playoff spot as they are from being bottom of the conference.

I'd loosely define "in the mix" as being 5 points or less out of a playoff spot. I think it's more likely that they lose ground rather than gain ground at this point.

I am hanging on to be the glass is half full............but yes, tough sledding ahead.

There's too many teams between us and the WC, it's not gonna happen but it's nice to see them not dig their graves deeper.

Looks like we finish above .500. I wish we had stayed bad until we had the #1 center in our system. The Frondell or Desnoyers. Probably going to be big mistake over next 10 years. As near impossible to acquire a top 6 center. Over last 25 years and Last 5 GMs haven't been able to do it. Other than Suzuki or maybe best year of Danault. Top Free agents don't sign here. Draft is only way.

We get a solid player around 12, a mid line center or #4 d-man. But always have that hole in our roster

You never know how this will all play out. I'd say low chance of playoffs, but we can't rule it out. 1-2 teams could lose two in row, while we keep winning and things look so different. A week, two weeks from now and it might be easier to tell. But as of this post, I don't think it is.

5 points out at this stage is very doable.

However, I just don’t see us being hot enough to do it. I think we will continue our inconsistent play the rest of the season. Guhle being out is a huge loss.

Many of us predicted around 85 points this year. We’re currently paving for 83.

There was an article written about the habs have the easiest of schedules compared to the other teams they are chasing..............very interesting eh.

Do you have a link? Considering how brutal our schedule has been that would make sense.

It’d be nice to finish strong.

I f***ing hate Lukewarm...

We need to get really hot or really cold and we don't need to worry about some Losing Culture BS given the run we went on.

Unlikely Frondell or Desnoyers are a 1C. They are more 2C prototypes.

I guess we're technically only five points out of a playoff spot but our pt% is significantly lower than the teams in WC1 and WC2. Winning the next game will bring our pt% up to 0.517. The gap isn't insurmountable but not every opponent will be a partied-out, hungover Canes team coming off the mid-season break.
