Nah... sucky as it was...
we got a point vs Chicago, two vs Nashville, zero vs Calgary, and 1 vs Vancouver.
4 points in 4 road games isn't that bad. I figured we'd need 5 and hoped for 6.
Dallas has another tough game at LA tomorrow. Columbus has a tough game at SJ.
But if we lose to Phoenix? Then we're in a position where we're one of four teams in a free for all where only one team gets in...
Our odds really take a hit.
I want to see six points in the next 4 games.
Beating Nashville needs to be a given. And if you can't beat Phoenix and Dallas, well... you didn't deserve to get in, did you?
How about clearly and Abby in 2-2 hockey.im about to jump on the fire babcock bandwagon. zetterberg and brunner had no business being in the shootout. this team is done being a powerhouse. there is no intention of putting the best team on the ice. and zetterberg has failed miserably at living up to the captaincy.
Ken Holland on After Hours...I hope they grill em. I'm sure we will hear..."I like where we are at".
We need an opposing goalie that doesn't play out of his ass for 3 periods of constant bombardment!!! This game was ours and we SCREWED THE POOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As disappointing as it is only getting 1 point, I thought the team played very good tonight. The compete and battle level were higher than it's been in a while, the defense played good hockey with and without the puck, and I thought all 3 players on the top line were very good. Filppula is playing so bad right now though. He took a step forward last season, but this season he's taken two steps back.
St. Louis Trolling Homer?
Splendidly Tanned Honey?
Super Talented Hockeyist?
SiTH lord?
I'm genuinely confused.

What's disturbing to me is that the decline of this team over the last few years is like watching a car wreck in slow-motion. It's like it was impossible to perceive at first, but the cracks appeared and the cracks slowly expanded bit by bit until there was a point when you couldn't cover them up anymore and you realized you were looking at a broken team. Put a tape of this team in 2009 on and then compare it vs. this season and you realize you're looking at an empty shell.
Meanwhile all you heard from management was "we like this team".
Brendan Smith decided to be BIG MAN with his heroic antics to give Canucks a free goal.
Good job, Brendan. Hope you sleep good tonight you piece of ****!
Miller broke his hand... does that mean Tatar may be coming up?

And Holland just said "If Bertuzzi and Sammy are Healthy next year" we can have a bounce back year.
