Also, having just finished watching the game, I've got to say, does anyone else have a better feeling about this team this year (as opposed to last season), going into the final stretch?
Right now for sure. The simple reason being we gained two guys making legit contributions for Sheahan and a guy who was pretty much a husk of a formerly good player. Also, credit where it's due: Guds and JJ are more or less pulling their weight as it stands regardless of future cap implications. Can't really complain and just gotta keep going. I did not foresee winning both of these past two games especially with one being the second of a back-to-back against a team we seem to have problems with in Boston. My interests now are mainly this second line and will the defense look the same (maybe less potent but more buttoned down) when Letang comes back.
I think we will also need some timely play from the bottom two lines assuming we make the playoffs, and I think it remains to be seen if we'll get that or not. We can only get so much from the PP and Sid's line against post-season teams, but those topics are for another day in the near future.
