Happy for the kid. OMG......he's young. Team cannot play optimum every game.............it's a fact. Got the win. Move on.
Tomorrow is interesting. Isles at Caps. I think I'll "root" for the Isles so we can get a little space from 3 & 4. But main thing is no OT. Make it a 2 point game and I'll be happy. I'd expect the Caps to win.
Close call on which team winning is better for us. Either we get a little room from 3 & 4 (with games in hand and the TB). Or we are in a better position to battle for 1st. Not sure, but the biggest key is no OT as mentioned. The reason I say the Isles is I'm fine with 2nd. In addition it keeps Pitt right on the Caps heels, so if we finish 2nd hopefully we get Pitt. Real close and we cannot lose if it gets decided in regulation.
I'll say one thing though, I have flipped. I now believe we are better off spending the bigger chip on a dman. That is a total change from how I have felt all season. Get a dman. You can deal a 2nd and Moore as the meat of the deal. Then add a lesser gritty faceoff guy at forward and move on.
Unfortunately, Dan Boyle is appearing to be more of a swing and a miss each day. I would hope he brings something come playoff time.
Caps and Isles are mirror images of the same animal. Both are tough. Both can score. Both are powerful. Great match up. I cannot root for either team......not in my Ranger blood. It will be fun to watch.
Chuck you know we're still trying to get IN the playoffs which i know you're worried about so it's probably better the Isles win in reg.
