And that, kids, is why the standings sometimes require a closer look.
Okay, my thought process was the Wild would realize that 'hey, maybe we should show up against these terrible teams and take the division.' meanwhile Vancouver had three games left against two top teams and if they only won one and the wild swept we would take the division.
But even though we outshot and outplayed the flames we lost. we still should make the playoffs. When i posted i think they may miss i was angry and drunk.
I think if we can win the last two games we will be heading into the playoffs feeling good and confident which can do wonders. We have excellent forward depth that can cause some damage. its our D that need to be better outside of Suter and Brodin. Harding and Backstrom will be a great duo in the Playoffs i think. Really i think one more win will get us in as i dont see others catching when we are still three point up.
Our forward lines look like this now which i think is pretty good and deep.
Coyle-Koivu-Parise
Zucker-Cullen-Seto
P.M.B-Brodziak-Pomminville
Clutterbuck-Mitchell-Rupp/Granlund
I also think we match up well against either Van or the Ducks. We have split our series with Van. We outplayed the Ducks our last two games completely and they are showing signs of weakness. I think if we fall to 8th we can hang in there with Chicago. Just thoughts.
