If the Wolves play Missy at any point in the playoffs we will lose that series. And if we don't finish first in the East not having home ice vs Brantford we will lose the series. That's my prediction.
The defence on those teams seam to play very aggressive vs the Wolves and certain players cannot play through it. Musty being one of them.
If it wasn't for Goyette and Villeneuve the last month this team wouldn't be where they are in the standings.
They have been the most consistent game in game out and have raised their game to another level completely. Dvorksy has been really good as well but seems to have picked up on some of Musty's bad habits from time to time.
Defensively McCoy and DeAngelios are the top two. Anania and Collins we need more from. They have been dipping in their defensive zone coverage around the net. VanVliet is starting to come along and using his body to squeeze guys out in the corners.
But I just wish we had everyone play at another level like Goyette and Villy.

Ive developed a mindset recently
What will be will be.
Dissecting (for the remainder of this season) things like, coaching, line changes, who's giving effort, goaltending, defensive miscues, poor effort, all are exhausting and WE control absolutely none of it.
I'll watch the final games without worry. If they win, fine. If they don't, that's fine too.
But I will say this, I'm leaning on the side of caution for the playoffs whom ever we face. One seed vs 5 or whatever the case may be. There are a few concerns I have about this team thats unsettling
I'm all about playoffs and who raises their game and whos afraid of the bright lights. I'd like to see they wolves before the end of the season , beat a good opponent, not a 500 team, on the road before season end(schedule permitting). I mean send a message to the rest of the conference that you are a legitimate contender that is not to be played with. That to me would be a step in the right direction
