Not going to be easy in their building, but you have to figure we are due to get back on our game and play well. We'll see...
Toughness.......... Yes No team withstood Jet crash play..............but something better be done about that asshole Byflugien. He used his stick as a weapon. Needs to be penalized by the NHL.
Hayes needs to shoot more. He tries to score pretty goals all the time. Not a good habit going into the playoffs.
I know Chuck likes to say "well these teams are fighting for a playoff spot and we're just coasting" but the issue I have is IN the playoffs everyine is going all out and we need to start playing playoff type hockey sooner rather than later. With only a few games left, we need to find that next gear and turn it on again. Can't just keep coasting and expect to be able to turn it on in the playoffs. Need to be peaking when the playoffs start. And I think I speak for most of us on here when I say I don't think my heart can take another playoffs like last year with all the close games and back and forth haha
Actually that is not what chuck likes to say. When you say it like that it makes it sound like I am okay with it or I think we aren't trying all out. I don't think that at all. With that said I see the standings, I see the teams we are playing, I clearly see the teams we have been playing recently wanting it WAY more than we have wanted it. That is not good...but it is what's happening. And look around, a lot of higher point teams are losing. Montreal 2 of 3. TB 2 of 3. The Blues 2 straight. The Hawks 2 straight before winning 2 straight. Just the way it is this time of year with a lot of desperate teams already at playoff level while the upper teams are not right now. Is what it is...
Think league will be looking at that vicious crosscheck to millers neck while he was down in front of the goalie and that looked like a suspension worthy play that the 2 blind referees both somehow missed. If the league is serious about getting rid of that kind of shit refs can't miss play like that
