Playoff push cheering thread

Call me an eternal optimist, but if the Canes continue this surge, they have a slim chance at finding that 8th spot come playoff time.

The trades will shake things up, but I figured I would humor myself and make a thread for 'who to root for/against' each night until we are officially eliminated.

I will start with tonight, 3/4:

Canes over Senators

Maple Leafs over Bruins

Penguins over Rangers

Capitals over Lightning

Islanders over Thrashers (This one is really a toss up, since we need to jump both teams, but an OT game would hurt us a lot).

Sharks over Canadiens

All of these are plausible (Canes and Leafs winning being the biggest stretches). But if they all come to fruition, we are a mere 6 or 7 points back from 8th...anyone else still holding out hope for a playoff run?

Interesting side note. At the beginning of the season, we had a 14 game losing streak. We are currently on a 7 game win streak. 7 points back after yesterday. Tampa Bay is on a skid. We pretty much play every team that is between us and the 8 spot at least once. We control our own fate really, with a little luck to boot. BELIEVE!

Uh, no?

I'd prefer a top 5 pick, especially as loaded as we are down in the 2nd round.

Besides, it's hardly possible, and how stupid would we all feel if we missed it by a game or two, then end up late in the pack for the draft.

I'm all for seeing our young talent whoop some ass, but lets be realistic here.

As stated by Rutherford we are the team in the best position to move up in the draft no matter where we finish. Not sure how high we could actually move up.I think the way the team is playing we are gonna win ourselves out of a top 3-4 pick so why not push for the playoffs?

These next 2 games are very important. Win them both and we very well could be sitting 3 pts out of 8th. Lose them both and any chance for the playoffs could be gone. Possible 4 points this weekend against two teams right in front of us in the standings.

To be honest I'm a canes fan, but I rather not see them in the playoffs. I mean getting a 7th or 8th seed and getting swept by Washington or Pittsburgh does nothin good for the team. I want them to get a 1st or 2nd draft pick so they can get a shutdown

defenseman or a young talented and speedy player to help out staal and then we can become a real Stanley Cup contender again.

Stupid Ducks give up a 3 point lead to lose it in a shootout to the Candiens!!! That didnt Help us... also it doesnt help that Buffalo gave 1 point to Rangers. I was looking at our schedule for March... BRUTAL. We play Washington 3 times and the Pens twice. If we can win all 5 of those... then yes were in the playoffs.. I just dont see how thats possible...this team has to be on the run of its life... I want it to happen sooooo bad! Go Canes!

      Chiefs vs Panthers

      By strato · Posted

      For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
