Jackets when healthy next season will be better than NYR IMHO
I wish you were a bookie, I would definitely take that bet

They're no better than the Pens or Canucks.
If they were opposed by Mason rather than Emery, very decent chance they would have got eliminated in the 1st round ( and regardless, the series went 7 games, fwiw ).
And VERY little doubt in my mind the Rags get by Price.[/QUOTE

I thought it was a great game. I can't believe that's the best team in the league. Not that they arent good, but that we looked neck and neck with them (without two top 4 defensemen).
It was a great, very close game between two great teams.
You'll notice at the top of the league standings Montreal and New York Rangers, both are last in the league in man games lost (I believe both under 120 for the season). They are good teams, but they are not by any means out of our league.
Hopefully we don't play down to the competition the next two games, because it has been a nice run lately.
Honestly, if a loss Wed means we don't get jumped by 3 more teams in the draft at the end of the year and finish outside the top ten--I'm fine with it.
A thumping of Buffalo would be nice though on fan appreciation night.

I just call it like I see it. If the Rags get past a healthy Rask, Bishop, Price, etc goalies of that caliber, I'll give them their props.
One of the true believers along with alphafox, we are the tank brigade.
Finishing 0-3 suits me just fine. Not only 1st round but 2nd round position at stake too.
Keep dreaming. This team is healthy right now. There's about a snowball's chance in hell they lose to Toronto and Buffalo.
2-1 is the worst they'll potentially go, with the loss being to the Islanders.

Well I personally am going to be spending about $500 for those last 2 games total and I want to see them win! I don't give a rats ass about the draft, we have more than enough players and prospects to fill 2 teams. Sick and tired of the being ok with losing mentality. If we were in the 1-3 spot and NEEDED that big time player to save our franchise, then I would understand it, but we don't! We have a deep playoff team already if we can just stay healthy! Is there any team in the East right now that you don't think we could beat in a 7 game series as our roster stands now?
Going to be interesting to see if anyone outside of 270 shares your sentiments that the roster is good enough now.
I've read several people saying we have a better roster than Rangers, Islanders, etc.
Maybe I'm too short sighted. Maybe I just discount late season rushes too much. Maybe I overestimate the need for a couple top pairing d-men who can stay healthy. Maybe I overestimate the need for another top 6 winger. Maybe I overplay the fact about the bad contracts we have (and the fact that those bad contracts are some of our worst players, if you're overpaying you're best player or a promising player I could get it).
So I wish I shared the optimism of some on here that we are set to make a deep run. I don't think we are - we have some pieces but are missing a lot of important pieces and have a handful of bad contracts that are blocking some potentially better players from playing next season.

Odds will be around 5% or so of winning the lottery, but will jump to 99% IF/WHEN WE SEND NICK GILBERT TO BE OUR REPRESENTATIVE.
I keep seeing this but I do not know who Nick Gilbert is.

Thought I remembered hearing that Dan Gilbert is at least a partial owner/investor in the Lake Erie Monsters? If so, with the pending AHL realignment, he may have more than just a passing interest in helping his downstate neighbor by letting us borrow Nick. Think it would put some fannies in the seats if Connor McDavid was suiting up for the LEM next year? I know that he will likely start in the NHL for whomever drafts him, but we can still use this as a selling point to Dan!
