as i was in the game tread yesterday i saw a couple posts saying we would have lost this game last year... and of course there are numerous active posters that tell us daily how our team sucks
did you know our record last year was 42-31-9 and we scored more goals than we allowed
did you know that the year before that we were 41 -27-14 and plus goal differential?
did you know if we were in west we would have made the playoffs
any year in nhl history 95 points would have made the playoffs. teams that have a positive goal differential have traditionally always made playoffs even before expansion.
we were basically the worst team in the nhl over the final month the last 2 years... but we entered the final month first in our division a couple seasons ago... and i think a top 4 seed this past year.
yes i know those collapse were crushing horrible experiences. we really sucked for the stretch drive. but in all honesty sometimes injuries explain slumps
we did slump... im not revising history here or saying we should be happy we missed playoffs, but saying we sucked is pretty extreme and imho unfair. the truth is we had 2 months of wretched hockey the last 2 years and other than that we played winning hockey the rest of the time
