Regardless of how this ends, I believe in this team moving forward and I'm proud to say that I never once threw in the towel on the season. It looked awfully dire before this winning streak, but now our boys are playing with a lot of heart, purpose and desperation.
The game this afternoon is monumental. If we manage to secure two points, it could potentially leave us tied for 9th with a game in hand on 8th and only 1-3 points back. Either way, it looks like we have to beat out two of our division rivals by the end of the season to make it in. At this rate though, the Sens could be had as well. We have two games remaining against them, they've lost three straight and their remaining schedule is difficult.
We play the Islanders twice and the Rangers/Devils once each. You have to figure that those games will decide which three Atlantic division teams make it in. I'd like to think that four of them can make it, but those odds look slim at this point.
Either way, we're playing better hockey than all of these teams right now.
