8-4-1 in the past 13 games.
Were it not for that horrendous 1-5 homestand we'd probably be in the playoffs.

No offense, but I can't stand this line of thinking and don't understand it- man, just enjoy a great win.....
Exactly- people want us to tank so we can pick 6th instead of 8th or 9th??????

I'm with you. I'm naive and just expect the team to "go out and do their best" no matter how far out of the race, but I wouldn't fight it. You'll just get into the whole "we could have had Steven Stamkos but because we won meaningless games we got Colin Wilson, etc...." My advice is just try to ignore it and root how you want.

I don't actively want us to lose, but at this point in the season when we are obviously not going to make the play offs and we obviously need to restructure our forwards I'm OK with it if we do lose.
With that said, it's entertaining as **** when we win.

This is why the draft should be a complete lottery, just not a lottery for #1. Draw for every pick in positions 1-14.
I don't watch and pay to go to these games for a loss, I watch and pay to go see a win. Sorry.

smiley.I get that, and I could SORT OF get on board with losing if I thought it would be a huge benefit in the draft- at the end of the last season I did think losing would greatly benefit us..... But this year?? To move 2 or 3 spots and pick 6th instead of 9th? No way I am rooting for losses for that......
It's pretty easy to explain.. short-term pain for long term gain.
If we had gotten MacKinnon last year, I'm sure a few loses here and there would've been lone forgotten by now.
Jones is certainly going to better for the future viability of our franchise than than say Samuel Morin.
Pretty sure Pittsburgh has long forgotten a few loses that got them Malkin as opposed to Olesz a few spot later.
Not saying it's the way to go, but one can certainly see the appeal.
We were one loss away from being beating out Colorado for the #2 position last year.
Columbus 2 losses away from getting Malkin instead of Olsev

Stars are voted on by the home town media. That's pretty much all you need to know.
We could win the lottery but the preds don't have that kind of luck so that happening is very unlikely.
This- see my post above- if losing gets us #1 overall and the next Crosby, I am all for it- but the benefits this year are just not that great.....

In a non-shutout game where the home team loses, the guy who scored a goal or had multiple points for the home team practically always gets the #2 star.

This is my boomstick
I don't have a problem with winning. I just don't see the point with winning with Clune in the lineup, etc.
