Right now we are on pace for 8 wins the rest of the season and we need to worry about a five game winning streak?
I mean it has been pointed out, but at this point if we played .500 hockey which is you know a hilarious thought we would wind up with 60 points. Only three teams have finished below that figure in the last 5 years and two of them were in the tanktastic McDavid Eichel draft (we were still a playoff team that long ago) that got the draft lottery rules changed for us so this season we are enduring might not give us the pick we need... Guys/Gals Ottawa hasn't won in nine games and they are still 12 points in front of us or 6 wins which is half of our season win total to date. The Ducks the 5th worst team in the league and are closer to the playoffs than we are to them. We are in last by a lot, I am not sure we need to worry about it, especially when you cruise our schedule.
We still have three games with the best teams in our division Boston and Tampa. Still have a set of games with Washington, they are kind of finished playing the weaker teams in the Western conference as well. You could make the argument that we are likely to only face two non-playoff teams from March until the end of the season in Philly and Chicago. I have switched from feel comfortable about the tank to can this team actually get to 50 points and I am starting to think no they cannot. My guess is 2/3 of the league already has more points than we finish with right now.
