Not to be the devils advocate

But brace for another Tsunami of tears tomorrow gents.

Borrowing from a tweet i read earlier, why does green play virtanen on the horvat line when he needs a goal? If thats a better option, shouldnt jake always be there?

Did green say that? Or did the media say that. The media

Say what? It was clear from the facts of what happened in the game and has happened in several before.

I take it you've been drinking

5-1 CBJ, sound about right?

So did Green say the team played average or was today above average.

I dunno, was working - missed the whole thing.

One good thing, I can get back to studying who I want at around 15th.

They are still making the playoffs. So think 17-20th

Oh wait, never mind...

Unbeliavably still in a good spot just to win some games. It tougher to win on the road, win tommorow a 500 trip, win most of our home games and play 500 on the road and we're in.

6 teams within 3 points fighting for 3 spots, I have my doubts.

Believing in what a cup this year lol, they are showing they are not ready and I was just stating some facts. Changes will be coming this summer.

It's really tight and we're in it with games in hand on all of them.

Both Predators and Wild have same amount of games, but yes it is tight.
I don't think they have the coaching or character to make it.

Hope so, they really need to address quite a few areas. They definitely need a few players that aren’t afraid to throw a hit or 7, need to move Sutter, Eriksson, Green, Baumgartner.

There are so many glaring issues, (Pettersson afraid of his shadow), but by just replacing green with a competent coach would probably bring an extra 6-7 wins up until now.

Put some youth in now, it will give them some energy, some of these vets are not cutting it.

They could have won both these games, they didn't get outplayed imo. Tonights game 2 softies go in other than that they held off the top offensive team in the league pretty well, lucky bounce off the post right on his stick was the difference.

When you play a team that is as soft as you are, and you refuse to hit anyone, you deserve to lose. This team still got work to do.

All the changes might not be for the better. Salary cap...

So, here's the deal.

Monday or Tuesday after practice, showers. All you guys in this post get to go in the locker room, and just pound a Canucks azz.

Who ya got ?

I haven't felt the team would make the playoffs until we acquired TT.
That gave me some hope that we'd have the firepower to make the final playoff push when the games get tighter.
Then BB was injured...for the season.
Still was quietly optimistic.
Then Markstrom went down and I lost that optimism almost as quickly as I got it

Back to my original prediction.
We will miss the playoffs this year.
I still think the team will exceed expectations (clearly) and plenty of reasons to be pleased with the direction of the team.
