Jesus Christ. You guys are so freaking negative. A guy in this thread honestly posted that he hopes we get swept. And we wonder why everyone includes us on their lists of the worst fan bases. Like honestly would it kill some of you guys to try to be optimistic? Obviously this season hasn't been as great as we had hoped, but in the end there is literally nothing any of us can do about it. We are a contender to come out of the East. I'd bet any money we make it to the ECF (as long as we don't play Philly). I don't think MAF will be nearly as bad this time around in the playoffs. The dude's back is to the wall and I'm sure he realizes that.
Cool story dude. Did you read the analysis posted in the link? It tells us what we already know: This team is mediocre to poor 5 on 5 and is carried by a PP that has a high shooting percentage and a PK that has a high SV%. Those things are not likely to continue over long periods of time.
Our only chance is for the PP to continue to carry us in the playoffs. When the refs put the whistles away, my guess is we will struggle.
Some fans may be too negative, but this team's record masks a lot of the underlying issues that have been showing up on the scoreboard in the last few weeks and we will see in the playoffs.
