Trying to take the positive approach, this is the first time I remember the Isles playing a meaningful game after DayLight Savings. We have that going for us! At least they are in a playoff race the last 20 games right? ??? Right?

Yeah, I think you meant 75%? I'd say 1 in 5 like Isles since 6 said which is about a 20% chance which is about equal to their estimates I believe? That is if they turn it out in the last 20 games. It's tough to gain ground when you don't have the games in hand and you're an inconsistent team.

When one "Pack Member" screws up. There is another to pick em up.

Yea at best the Isles have about a 25% chance of sneaking into the 8th spot.

I agree with that. They have points in 5 of the last 6 games. If they can keep it going tonight and Saturday and show sunday was blip on radar than maybe they can keep a nice streak going and at least have a legit chance the last few games of the season.

I think even staying in a playoff race past November (or Februray in this season) is important. The longer they have a realistic chance of making the playoffs, the more experience this team gets in important games.

agitator, instigator. What difference does it make? When its time to play the game. We can count on you to spice it up.

I agree BUT they should be further along than this. As Snow put it LAST season, "If we don't make the playoffs the season will be consisdered a failure". Well we all know how last season went.

Well it is a failure. I'm not denying that but I'm also tired of talking about what's happened and why. This is who they are now. Let's see this team at the very least play meaningful hockey the last week of the season. It's at the very least, better than a bottom 5 finish

So, I don't wanna get ahead of things but that basically means Garth is in his 6th season of failure with #7 quickly approaching? How much/badly does one need to fail to finally lose his job? I mean, sh!t, I'm sending in my resume to be a GM if it's a job nearly impossible to be fired from. Who wouldn't want that type of job security?

For all we've heard about this critical practice time they got during the short break to work on plays and study video, they saw fit to exclude "struggling" Ullstrom from all that so he could play one game for the Sound Tigers?
