I actually think they played well tonight Prod. We have had MANY games where we won and didn't play well and everyone complained. I think tonight was the exact opposite. We played well IMO and didn't get the breaks...so be it. So I think we are playing well right now. And now we face Detroit who will need the game Saturday to make the playoffs. We'll see how that one goes.
One issue is that once again no one did anything when a cheap shot was taken on one of our guys. Tavares cheap shots Glass and no one does shit, not even Glass. They have fully bought into AV's pacifist philosophy.
Maybe this is a good thing that they dont have any expectations but LOL...looking for the favorable matchups should already be a signal that this group wont get past the first round. Maybe they can get to the second round by some miracle.
Regular season doesn't mean as much in hockey as other sports. Plenty of 7 and 8 seeds have gone far in the past. We have the most important ingredient in hank that can carry us and a lot of players that have been there before. No Mcd is the biggest negative. not as concerned without girardi as he has been bad anyway and dylan if he actually gets ice time will help on the D. Maybe this is the year nash finally lives up to his salary in the playoff.
NHL will change it's rules about playoff match ups........nothing is in stone when it comes to rules in this league. Just become one of the eight teams, and then you take your chances. Maybe down the road, the NHL will have 10 teams make the playoffs. You get the picture........more teams in the playoffs means more money for the league and the hockey clubs, and then we'll be able to see Canadian teams in the playoffs!!!!! Ugh!
