We shall see CobieMonster. If they would just band together and play three periods of consistent hockey, they would improve their chances of getting into that eighth spot in the East.

I know it's a tough loss but to get three out of four points in Washington and Montreal against two great goalies is a pretty solid accomplishment - not perfect, but I'd take that

Now they have some games they should win(although Columbus gives them trouble for whatever reason, guess it's their speed) coming up, they need to take advantage of it

3 out of 4 points vs two really good squads and Boston lost again.

3 of 4 points would be great if we were not so deep in the whole we dug. There were to points to be had and we lost 1. No moral victories this time of year.

Well if you want to feel miserable every day then I guess there's no moral victories

But I choose not to feel miserable every day, so this one point last night could come back to help them if they keep playing well

Trailing by 8 points (4games) with 28 to go it definitely could be worse.

Who is miserable? Unfortunately I am being a realist. There are only 28 games left. By playing to a 23-22-9 record, we cant leave a point on the table and say "we did a good job". At post #5, before the game I said there are no moral victories at this time of the season. We should have won the game and picked up 2 points.

Exactly. I am about as happy with OT losses as I am with a loss. We need 2 points every game and if you are in a position to win, you have to dig deep and get the win. If you don't then really whats the point of making the playoffs. This teams achilles heel this whole year (among many) is that they can't win close games.
