what are you most concerned about for your team heading into the playoffs?

watching stars lately, seems like they are leaking chances left and right. they were my pick for the cup this year,
but miro's injury is a big issue.
 
Yeah no Miro for the entire 1st round is gonna cause major issues for the Stars

Not only hurts their defensive game but their transition game is almost completely gone without him too. Not great considering they're a rush team and will be facing Colorado round 1
 
Playing such a tight defensive system not being able to generate enough scoring chances / offense.

If we play Florida, getting hemmed in our zone forever by their dominant forecheck. If Tampa, getting beat by the unstoppable Kucherov and Point if its Tampa. If it's Toronto, the Leafs play very tight defense, will we get any good scoring chances?

Given my team most likely won't make it(Islanders) my biggest concern is my team will win out the season thus losing draft position
 
Jets, health, currently 5 players out, three significant players and two lesser players from the lineup. No more injuries please, we need players back bad.

1st line winger
2nd line winger
4C
2nd pairing RHD
3rd pairing D

All out currently, we need players back and no more injuries

Scoring more than 2 goals in a game, which will be further exasperated by the fact that Auston Matthews is hurt and no longer scores goals, especially 5v5

***If Minnesota gets in. I think the numbers have them as 90% or thereabouts***

Mostly they need to get healthy. They were very good early in the year with a full lineup. But it’s been one of those years where everyone is hurt, and it feels like they are hanging on for dear life lately.

Will Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek be able to shake off the rust in time?

Faber also appears completely gassed. He’s played huge minutes and hasn’t looked the same since his concussion around the Holidays.

Gus is also likely exhausted. Fatigue is a real concern all around with everyone having to pick up the slack due to the relentless injuries.

PK was a huge issue but it’s gotten better of late.

I also am curious to see how they handle Zeev Buium. He likely only gets 1 regular season game. Will they bring him with as a Black Ace?
 
Oilers fan. Basically injuries right now. And if we do get our big guns back how ready are they going to be. Eckholm specifically.
