He should really have scored 5 goals with 9 shots.

He's been doing it for quite awhile. Most of you just had your heads too far up your asses to hear it.

It was a tale of two games.
For whatever reason, Bones decided to put Scheifele and Connor back together. Then for the first half of the second period they got outshot something like 17-4.
Thankfully he came to his senses and put Ehlers back in the first line, and what do you know, the team looks great again.
Without Vilardi, we are not the same team. We need his talent on the pp.

Ultimately Perfetti is probably headed back to the pressbox with slow Gus and Kupari unless he a monster week, which is too bad.
It is a good problem to have. Better than the days when we could barely put out 12 forwards that could skate without tripping over the red line.

He is not. I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion.
Ya the way Perfetti is playing he will be in the lineup now.
We are worrying far too much about what may or may not happen in a couple of weeks. As last game showed all it takes is a fluke play to knock a player out for a week.
If Cole keeps playing well he's staying in.
Remember folks It's a long way to the top but at least we have our foot in the door, that's more than half of the league can say.

Hope Popsicle and the rest of the dirty flames have fun melting on the golf course.
Clinching >>> Clenching
Hoping Helle can get a game or two off going into the remainder of the season. Hoping Bones stays away from Scheifele + Connor in the playoffs. Hoping Vilardi is health the rest of the way. Nothing unreasonable there.
Didn't see the third as I pulled a @macmaroon at the end of the 2nd. Didn't look at the box score but assuming I could have posted #firebradlauer at the end of the five minute major.

I think we have pre malaise Koal back, who's a legit, 60 point top 6 winger.
I don't think there's a chance in hell that happens.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Appleton is playing the best hockey of his career right now and I don't think he should or will come out.
Iafallo plays a pretty mistake free game. Sure, his production isn't great, but how many times do you remember a bad defensive play happening and thinking "f***, Alex!" You need players that you can 100% trust in the playoffs, so no way I'm pulling him out.
I love Barron. I'm always praying he finds a way to start producing a little more. He is a bull, gives heavy effort, and doesn't hurt you. I'd hate to pull him out, but this is the complication of having an extremely deep forward corps.
When healthy, our black aces are:
Kup Gus Barron
Stanley Miller
And further insurance:
Axel Toni
Heinola Capo
You have to feel really good having legit NHL talent practically half a team deep just salivating at the chance to play.
Dedicated to the Flames dismal season. Felt good eliminating them.
I’m constantly wondering why Connor is so far away from the net. Even on the PP he stands closer to the boards than the faceoff dot. He needs to get to the spot where if the two guys covering Vilardi and Monahan have their sticks on them Schiefele can make the pass between the two of them to Connor. But Connor stands so high he’s covered by the same guy that’s covering Monahan.
There was a play in the 3rd where there was a battle in the left wing corner, Vilardi comes out o the scrum with it and Connor is standing at about 4:00 on the RW faceoff circle. Vilardi make the pass through from the corner to the front of the net but Connor was too high to get it. Vilardi made another pass from the side of the net backwards between his legs right through the crease and again Connor (pretty sure it was Connor)was too high.
Connor needs to get closer and he will be fine. But he has to start doing it.

I'd give Miller some games down the stretch to really see. He made some nice defensive plays and a couple of nice outlet passes out of our zone while being under pressure.

Sneak in?
We've been listed by Moneypuck and others at higher than 98% to make the playoffs since the end of December. We've clinched a spot ahead of the Maple Leafs and ahead of the Oilers. We just won two games to punch our ticket.
Sneaked in?

I wonder if Pospisil gets a call from the league, he is a repeat offender this year and needs to cut that shit out

Congratulations to Villardi on the hat trick.
The Jets now have a big X by their name!

3 out of 5 John McLanes
Welp Vilardi should be a playoff performer
Mony MaHony and Tiny Eyes Tafoli ARE playoff performers.
We have a nice healthy plethora of D men corps.
Two very capable goalies
Only issue continues to be that PP and PK
Other than that we are full marks heading to the tournament.
The White Baron is gonna convert!

I hope the next few games are good for him - especially against those central teams that are playoff bound.
He looks good and I hope he can carry that confidence into these tougher matchups - but he's not a sure thing - he can't let up.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the whole team responds to those tough games - ending on a high note is very important for this team IMO.
