4 day break, two 2 day breaks. One trip to Boston. The level of competition. Beautiful.

Id say thats very advantageous before a playoff run.

Call me soft but I'm sitting our stars in that Rags game if we've clinched and they're knocked out of the playoffs. Last thing we need is Rempe being a doofus for the lol's, I still don't buy the fact he's changed after his suspension v Miro

Season does feel like a grind though where a lot goes against them.

Europe Trip
Demanding schedule
Once they get in a groove, the break comes
Coming back from the break, controversial reffing against them
Injuries start to flare up
Virus hits the team
Lots of posts in OT

Feels like a lot that can go wrong, goes wrong. Hopefully the team comes up of that adversity and comes out of it having learned a lot.

AND YET, they're still a top team standings wise, and 3rd in P% in the East.

I think what frustrates me is I think this team is so close to not just being one of the like 8 contenders in the league where they could win if things break their way but an absolute juggernaut that should be clearly favored over everyone.

I have been saying I don’t think it’s possible but I guess I do see where we’d get to what I want but it’s likely just difficult to swing. What is our TDL cap situation looking like? Like if we were able to snag say both of Palms and Gourde I think we’re demonstrably the favorite against any team in the league and losing would be a massive disappointment. Then in the offseason unload Haula and re-sign Gourde.

Bratt-Jack-Palms
Timo-Nico-Noesen
Palat-Gourde-Mercer
Cotter-Haula-Lazar (f***ing kill me the Cotter-Haula pair lives)

Nobody is f***ing with that forward group when you also have the D group and special teams we have.

They were 16-6-1 from 11/1 to the break at 12/23

That’s a pretty great stretch of hockey. Are they that good ? Probably not are they this bad as they have showed ? Probably not

Yeah and that’s more middle of the pack/WC territory than elite contender territory.

I don’t think anyone is saying this team is bad, that’s just the typical strawman type of stuff that happens when some of us are not as rosy about things as others.
 
One silver line to our OT ineptitude

That had to be our best start to an overtime period this season.

Did we score on the first shift of OT against the Islanders in what was our only 3 on 3 goal of the year? I can’t remember.

But that may have been the best minute we’ve played of 3 on 3 the entire season.

They scored in OT on Saturday too, but 4 v 3

They actually controlled a lot of 3 v 3 play. Just not getting the breaks
