Frustrating the way it ended, but after the poor game in Calgary if I said we'd get 5 of the next 6 points on the trip we all would have signed up in a second.
If we take care of business at home the next 3 games we should be the 2 in the Met and host the Flyers.
Tomorrow could be a huge day. Philly is at Boston. The Bruins have lost two straight and would clinch the East with a win. I am sure they want to get back to their winning ways, and clinch at home tomorrow. And we host the Sens tomorrow night, who are out of it and playing the 2nd game of a back to back. If we win and the Flyers lose it just about locks it up for us.
That is what it is all about. Who cares about clinching a playoff spot IMO, that has been a lock for weeks now. It is about clinching the 2 spot in the Met and getting home ice round 1.
If we get 4 of our remaining 8 points we are sitting with 95 points. That would mean the Flyers would need 9 of their 12 points available since we own the TB at the moment. And with our next 3 games at home against the Sens, Sabres, and Canes we really have no excuse at this point not to lock up the 2 in the Met division within the next few days. And if tomorrow goes as planned we can just about lock it up then.
If we win and the Flyers lose tomorrow it is just about done. We'd be 6 up and the Flyers would only have 5 games left. So we'd be just about locked in. Tomorrow is extra big when you look and see the Flyers host the Sabres and then play at Florida after the Bruins game, so they should win two straight at least after Boston. So let's go Bruins tomorrow, and then we beat the Sens at night hopefully, and home ice here we come.
This team is really coming together now. It will not be easy, but this team does have a chance to do some damage in the playoffs if we play our game, Hank is Hank, and Nash/MSL show up.
