Mack is on after hours and they asked him about the Backlund hit and what he didn't like about it."Ummmm, I dunno. It was a clean hit, I just got mad."

You could tell it hurt him a bit, that's probably what pissed him off.

What a way to finish up those three B2Bs. 11 out of 12 pts. Feb was a tough month in our schedule and we are currently 6-1-2 with one more game to go. Proud of the guys.
It really feels like that stretch of 7 losses in 8 games at the end of Dec beginning of Jan was a turning point for this team. I really think that stretch of losses along with starting being healthy finally got them the boost they needed.
We win our games in hand and we are first in our division and one point behind Vegas in the West. We are playing them Monday to finish the Feb schedule.

The west in general is tight.
8 playoff teams separated by 6 points
Then you have Calgary fighting to get in
And then everyone else is selling (Nsh = Niederreiter, STL = ROR/Tarasenko, VAN = Horvat, and to be followed by ARI = Chychurun, SJ = Karlsson, CHI = Kane.

Considering the ongoing health issues, the strength of opposition, and the amount of back-to-backs, taking 14 out of 18 points for February is outstanding.
I don't have the numbers, but I think we've been cooking on 5v5 since the beginning of the year.
Do we really need to add to get out of the West if we get good injury luck in the playoffs? (Not saying that we shouldn't add as much as we can given our limited assets, but wondering which Western teams can actually give us trouble over 7 games if we have all of our key players.)

Full of guts!!
A lot of hockey left but Calgary missing the playoffs with that roster feels like a massive failure

Going all in for the cup and not making the playoffs.. honestly I would feel so bad for Kadri. They would go straight to rebuild.

I knew it was a back to back but 3 games in 4 days after a 5 day lull?
This schedule making is so pathetic.

Just realized JT Compher is having a career season in a contract year - 40 points in 57 games
Think someone will see him as a 2C and he’ll actually somehow end up with a raise?

We’re still garbage 5v5.
Since Jan 1st/23, we’re 21st in CF%, 22 xGF% and 27th in HDCF%. Luckily we play in a garbage conference, so it might not matter until the conference finals/finals.

OK now show us the same rankings starting Jan 14th which is after the stretch of 7 losses in 8 games. Jan 14th also coincides with when we started to get players back from injuries notably Nuke on Jan 16th. If I was a betting man I would bet it looks quite a bit better.
I'm not sure where you are getting these stats by the way.

I am actually quite surprised by that especially HDCF%. Only one of them is much better. Watching the games looked much better than those stats to me.
