As bad as our record has been, we’re still in the 1st wildcard, and not far behind Pitt and Philly. IF they can right the ship in the next few games and get hot, it just might work out for us. There’s still 20% of the season left. Do or die time.

100%. I’ve been echoing the same thing though it’s becoming harder and harder for me to keep the faith in all honesty.😂

They get hot in the next few games that would be the best thing that could happen and carry it into the playoffs. That happens and we’ll forget about these last couple of months of mediocre to terrible play real quick. I think we’ll see at the very least some form of this. They’ll turn it around I’m just not sure to what extent.

No excuses but sometimes the non playoff teams play loose and are tough to beat. We’ve been that team so many times in years past. Nonetheless, I agree it’s tough to keep the faith sometimes, but this team is built and coached for playoff hockey. Would be a damn shame to not make it. Let’s hope it starts tomorrow night in Ottawa.

Yep. There are no easy games but with that said I’d rather play Ottawa than Philly right now.😂

Agreed. But there’s something about teams not giving a (frank), they’re difficult to play against. Flyers/Caps tonight. That should be a fun one to watch.

100% agreed. We were Philly a couple months ago. Hopefully we can get back to that.

100% what you would expect the players to say. Now The Players as a group have to go out and do it.

Maybe Lee should fight some of his teammates and they might show a pulse? Maybe the Isles hating each other like the 70's Yankees is the way to go?

Nah, not going that route. To be successful you need to have each other’s backs and play for each other.

Sure worked for the Yankees.

Isles have been playing lately like the country club is back.
