Scoring tonight fellas. 7 and counting...domination. The team is primed for the playoffs. Yeah they haven't played their best recently, but they keep winning and honestly they are starting to focus on the playoffs. These remaining regular season games just don't mean a ton. Sure win the East or win the Pres trophy if it happens, but it doesn't mean a whole lot as Joe said during the game. They are focused on the big prize, and I bet have some ups and downs in the remaining 11 games because of it, and that's okay. Just be healthy. BTW...when MSL comes back I think I leave the Miller/Brass/Zucc line together. I like that line a lot. Then play the other 6 forwards as AV sees fit.
Man, you do not want to be near mcdonagh on a shot on goal..... bad things happen to you. By the way when do we start playing the "tough" teams.
Impressive win tonight. BTW...the ducks are severely overrated. Boudreau coached teams never go far in the playoffs because they don't play any defense. He is very good regular season coach but not the playoffs where you must play defense to win the cup.
This team is primed for playoffs. They are crazy deep team at wing and defense...When is Hank supposed to play given his daughters recent birth?
Well at this point arguably the best season in their history isn't going to mean anything if it doesn't end with the cup.
I'm laughing at the countless morons who thought Fast was garbage on OTG and HF after the kid played about 20 games. He's starting to show third line ability.
Up to 3rd in goals per game and 2nd in goals against per game. That is crazy good. As for Hank, it really is about practice time. With so many games, we have two back to backs left and play every other day when we aren't playing back to back, we haven't had a lot of practices. Hank hasn't had any yet. If I were to guess, maybe he plays a game this weekend, we have a back to back at Boston and home Caps Saturday and Sunday. Maybe he starts Sunday. Or maybe Tuesday at the Jets. Including the Caps game that would leave 8 games for Hank. The Jets game would leave 7. Figure he won't play them all. And I am thinking he'd want 5 or 6 games to be ready for the playoffs.
They will have to throw him into the fire at some point. You can't replicate game action in practice.
