Very promising too that our goalie is good in shape. Sleep got the best of me, but seriously, what was in his drink. Just undeniably good high danger scoring chances stopping during the whole recap. So good that the Avalance was really coming, but some had told him already. It was his game plan to stop the shots. Very nice plan, I'd say.

If I'm GMDW, I'm sitting down with PM and offering him a 4x3M to 4M deal really soon
Can't let this guy let to free agency

As pretty a play as this was, it's worth noting that Colorado didn't try all that hard to play defense here. Two forwards decided to mail in their backcheck, and the other three guys chased the puck around and completely ignored the 6-foot-2 young man standing in front of their goalie. Even after catching the pass, making a move and scoring, the closest guy to Svech was Jordan Staal.
I just don't see the urgency. I don't think a lot of teams around the league are watching Mrazek and thinking he's the answer to their prayers. (Hell, I'm not even sure he's the answer to ours, although I can't deny, he's been spectacular lately.) He's still coming off two pretty craptastic seasons. I hope we sign him, and I think we will, but I don't see why it has to happen tomorrow. We've got 'til July 1 and he's not going anywhere. He likes it here and we like him. It'll get done.

Don has already said he's not talking to any agents about contracts until after the season. Wants the players focusing on playing hockey, not signing contracts. There'll be a lot of action as soon we're done, but not before.
9th in the league and 3rd in our division.

I think we’ll be ok waiting until after the season. It’s my belief that he’ll appreciate the chance he was given and he seems to like it here.

Also interesting: According to moneypuck.com the odds of the Canes winning the cup (8.6%) are higher than the Canes missing the playoffs (6.91%). Not sure if I necessarily agree, but the numbers never lie, do they?

You know what they say: there's lies, damn lies, and statistics.
As much as this time it feels different i still am burnt badly by 08 and 2011. I don't trust anything until we finally clinch, but for now I'll just enjoy the ride.

I wasn't anything more than a casual fan, at best, then. I'll believe for you!

This is how our schedule shakes out, and we'll have to win a significant portion of these games to make it in. TBL is probably an autoloss. 16 pts over this stretch would give us a 100% chance of making. Obviously, we have ALOT of work to do, and that's the last time I'm looking at sportsclubstats. Until the next time I do.

Playoffs or not, this season has been a success IMO. Aho has emerged as a cornerstone piece, our D-corps has been as solid as ever, we finally have decent goaltending, and we have Nino for the next three years. If they don't make it this year, they almost certainly will next year, at least IMO.

Yeah, with the way things are shaking out, another "win and you're in" situation at the last game of the season wouldn't be out of the question, and I don't know if I can handle a 3rd disappointment in that regard.
2011 hurt much less at the time "knowing" we had the rookie of the year and many years of playoff success ahead of us. 2008 was immediately made better by 2009.
This one, after 10 years, would hurt.

I just deprive myself of as much joy to avoid the inevitable letdown at the end of the season. At least, I keep telling myself that.

I think we win bolded ones. 8-5. Do it, boys!
congratulations on the sale of your real estate investment that enabled you to afford tickets to a leafs game. but seriously folks, I wish I could swing that kind of money to see the Canes here, but it's quite a wad of cash to lay out, even more if you want decent seats.

I'm just glad they're still worth watching this late in the season. Hasn't always been the case.
It is quite spensive. What’s sad is it’ll cost more to go by myself than going with a 2nd person.

You heard it here first, but we're going to win that Tampa Bay game.
