Habs had three huge 4-point games recently
loss vs Blue Jackets: 6 goals on 30 shots
loss vs Hurricanes: 2 goals on 40 shots
loss vs Penguins: 5 goals on 25 shots
One great goaltending performance but 2 pretty sorry ones
The difference between 15 and 16 is negligible. At this point there would be no loss to try and make wildcard spot.

Lucky for us that we didnt make the playoffs then because we have so many more points than out west we would have drafted around 18-19th. Its not simply 15th vs 16th draft position.
should have traded petry and last night showed why. He had good value even if its a playoff teams picks. Then you collapse for a lack of any D outside weber and pick top 10. Or trade futures and try to make the playoffs. Ott king martinsen all over again. We are the leafs.

A lot of people thought the schedule would catch up and it looks like it did. It was predicted 10-15 games ago that if we left it to the games against the Jets, Lightning, Capitals, and Leafs that it would take a miracle to make it in. We had a chance to give ourselves a bit of a cushion going into those games with head to heads with both Carolina and the Bluejackets and we blew it. It’s not impossible to make the playoffs, but we’re in a lot of trouble.

Ok reality sinking in, 75% or our team actually overachieved to get to this point
We are who we thought we were....
A borderline PO team needing a whole lot of things to go right to make it.
Not adding assets in-season was incredibly short-sighted, waisting assets for bargainbin shopping even worse.
On the right side, Molson & MB can just press replay on the season post-mortem, except maybe this year its better beer instead of better hot dogs, and all Drouin's fault instead of Patches...
I forgot which pick I looked at in the past but it was random picks like 12th and 8th overall.
12th overall had better careers in last 20 years.
Of course that doesn’t mean 12th is better, more so that randomness and luck is more of a factor after the top tier than anything else.
If you believe 15th is a different class than 18-19 that is your opinion.
For your consideration(it will include guys drafted before 20 years but who played in last 20 years):
19th overall accumulated stats for last 20 years:

15th overall accumulated stats for last 20 years:
http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?agg...ionDraftPickMax=291&sort=points,goals,assists
18th is worse than both. The sooner people realize the difference is negligible the faster we can move on.
At that range it barely matters.
If we're talking say top 5 picks or somewhere just passed that then I'm sure we'll see.
This loss has me fuming. We got manhandled and embarrassed yesterday.
On the other hand, I have to give credit to Werenski and especially Seth Jones. What a catch for Columbus. Talk about poise with the puck, sound on both ends of the ice and mobile for his height. He'll be in talks for the Norris every year.

We win out the rest of the season and everyone jumps back on the bandwagon.
Probably, just depends IF they do it.
Habs were a bubble team by anyone objective to start the year. It's just heartbreaking if they get this far and slip out over a few must win games they didn't win.
Roadhouse
Bring me back to 2006...
True. We were 1-0 up on both, but couldn't defend it (or attack). 1st line minus 4ish down in the latter. There is no buts or ifs if we miss the playoffs in the end. Those others deserve it more.
But I'm not too disappointed. Guys gave everything they had. Next year should be better.

It's sad. We are one of the top teams at even strenght and like we've seen this year, players play with their heart out.
Add a Radulov to our team to improve our PP and the team already has at least 5 more wins/100 points and a chance to do good things in the POs.
Sad, sad, sad.

The way I look at it...Habs 4 games left, Canes (1 point up, own tiebreaker) and Jackets (tied own tiebreaker) 5 games left.
So basically between now and the end of the season, the Habs need to get 1 more point than Columbus and 2 more points than Carolina. Whatever record that is, that's what they need. Considering both teams have an extra game AND our remaining schedule...chances are very slim.

Sadly I'd say we're toast. And we were probably toast even if we'd won last night. The last four games are brutal.

we just don't have the talent and the size, it's like no one wants the puck and they always give it up
except those of us who were never on it
