Most of the teams that are 4 or 5 points ahead of us have also played 2-3 games more than us. Last in the league is a bit misleading. Hopefully they can find a way to take advantage of those games in hand and get back into the middle of the pack. Tough though to be optimistic with this team especially after a sure win against the Hawks turned into a loss.
All 6 games they've competed. Some full games (VAN, EDM, CHI) where they have got points. Coincidence? The other have been games (SJ, ANA, COL) where they had good periods and bad periods within the same game. Memories of the past few seasons.
Hopefully Hartley can find some consistency with this team as consistent efforts has meant points. Uphill battle based on past seasons and very similar team but he's the right coach to do it.
