Ehh I think you know what I mean when I said the win was meaningless. Obviously every win is good, but it's meaningless in regards to making the playoffs. Not gonna happen, so the 2 points are meaningless.

Canucks probably shouldn't be chirping considering they are the playoff favourite most likely to miss the playoffs right now.

A big hill to climb but a step in the right direction. Get a win streak going and who knows...lots of games left.

Great win. Hopefully this gets the offense flowing. I still believe the playoffs are still a possibility despite the poor start. We just need luck
The thing with having a relatively young dynamic team is that there is so much volatility. When the forwards cant score and are cold, we are horrible.
But if a 4/6 of the forwards (#1s, Eberle, Perron, Hemmer) can go on varying degrees of hot streaks... watch out.
To be able to reach the playoffs we would need some extremly hot/lucky goaltending from Dubnyk or Bryz. Much like what Columbus/Chicago got last season.With Bryz I dont see a quality .920 goalie, but I do see a candidate to somehow regain his old form and get extremely hot for 20 games. He has done it before so maybe he has it in him. Not saying he will do it, but it could happen. He could also flop and be on waivers in 3 days tho
We would also need the forwards to start producing more. And we need other teams to fall back down to earth. (Im looking at you Colorado)

Honestly, for all the flak Eakins has taken so far (deserving or not), I see him as being the coach that one day leads us to a cup.. Wishful thinking maybe?
Also, does Arco draw back in next game? Do you mess with a lineup that won 7-0 (albeit to the BJs)

Ference too.
I like that too. It feels nice to be recognized, even if I have been kind of disgruntled.

Someone said it earlier, but wins > losses.
Random notes:
- Belov absolutely jacked someone in front of the net. Letestu maybe? Sent him flying in the 2nd.
- The expression on Smyth's face when he batted that puck in on the PP... warmed the heart. Christ Gagner, where's that pass going? Really wouldn't mind Arcobello taking Gagner's place. He just hasn't looked right this season since the jaw.
- Yak was flying out there.
- So... Hall whiffs on the breakaway and scores. Can't write this stuff. How audible was he in the 2nd after the 3 non-calls? Come on ref. Wish he buried that one-timer from Hemsky after his goal. Would have been so nice.
- Perron... dat snipe.
- Getting a win is awesome. As is when everyone above us wins as well. Breaking Blad!
- Bring on the Cats.

This team needed a game like this and The home fans needed it more.
I feel like now we are going to see the offense that we were all expecting this year.

He walked in to the room and screamed, "YAK CITY, *****ES!" And then threw the microphone at Rishaug's head.

That was a beauty saucer pass over a sprawling guy. Gagner had two great chances to score, he does seem off in that respect but I do not think you break up that line.
