What it will take...

Recommended Posts

Out of boredom, I decided to see what it would take for us in the final month and a half of the season to make the playoffs. In case some of you didn't know, we sit 28th in the league...

-Win practically every game. Can only drop maybe 6 at the most by no more than 1 point (maybe 2).

-Have an average points of +4 for every game.

-Philly, Boston, and Montreal all have to start losing pretty badly.

-In order for the 3rd point to be true, we have to beat Boston and Montreal in March by at least 3.

-We have 5 divisional games. MUST win all of them by at least 2.

-Pray every night, drink our milk, don't run with scissors, and wear our seat belts.

If we do all of this, we have a shot at 8th in the Eastern.

With all that being said, if anybody is holding out hope, forget about it. Have to play the Pens and the Caps a few times each and they will probably finish out towards the top of the league. We get some upsets, don't get upset, and have a few dominant games, there is still an outside shot. If it were to happen, this team would go down in history as being the best comeback team in the history of the NHL.

I wouldn't say we need to lose. Yeah, that pick is big. But we had one of the best 1st rounders in last years draft...and we traded him. <_<. For JR it is about KEEPING the fan base. Sure, we understand wanting that 1st pick and losing to get it. But let's face it, your casual fans won't show up if you drop off the face of the Earth and with over a month of games left, that could be big in a struggling economy. In terms of team, yes, we need to lose. In terms of franchise, the more we win, the better.
