It is definitely Us vs. The World here. I keep looking at videos and while everyone agrees that we're performing well, basically nobody thinks we can do it. That sort of mentality motivates the shit out of you, so we have plenty to play for. The Red Wings should be ultra nervous right now at 3-5-2 in their last 10. We have nothing to lose and they have the weight of the world on their shoulders to keep that streak intact.

There were even people who thought Carolina was going to get in ahead of us before they traded guys away at the deadline...lol

A lot of disrespect here really. That win over Tampa should tell everyone we mean business. While it was only a 4-2 win with an empty netter, that was more of a 7-1 blowout type game. Extremely lopsided. With Voracek, we would've throttled them on the scoreboard too and not just every other stat.

When Jake comes back who sits?

Gotten used to this shit.Most people, and so called experts are probably basing their info on hearsay,or the pre-season forecsasts.

The way they've been playing the last few weeks,i certainly can see them not only making the playoffs,but having a deep run.

Fuck the haters!

When Jake comes back who sits?

I would've said Gagner right away originally, but given the improvements of him, Read, Cousins and others, it is difficult to say.

Probably Gagner, but if not, then Read. It depends on whether Hakstol wants to just insert Jake into that second line or displace Gagner and move him down to the third line, replacing Read.

I guess Gagner is the logical choice as he and Jake are both mostly only offense and Jake is just a way better offensive player than Gagner

Is Sam Gagner is the odd man out again once Jakub Voracek returns?

That's basically how I feel. He's a top six guy or bust. It's sad for him, but it's also true. He has a role to fill right now and he's doing that temporarily.

I would rather keep the other lines intact moving forward and I am sure that Hakstol agrees. It's too much of a potential gamble to sort of redo the second and third lines.

Yes.

We always play like garbage when we go to Florida. Hopefully we can get at least 2 points but id like 4.

And the Jets blew it...Lol Slight bummer, but we still absolutely control our own destiny here. No real issues if we win the head to heads against Detroit and Pittsburgh.

This was the high point of this game for us it really should've been 3 or 4-0 after 1.

Wheeler hit the cross bar with like 10 seconds left it just wasn't our night

Win and were in.
I watched Detroit and they will be very beatable down the stretch. They don't have any scoring despite the Zetterbergs and Datsuyks (sp)

Rangers vs Detroit tomorrow. It will be weird cheering for the Rags.
