I know I am going to get flamed for this, but statistically there is not a whole lot of difference between 4 and 14 in the west this year.

Really if you consider most games to be a coin flip between teams like Calgary, Minnesota etc, we are one lost coin flip from being tied with teams like Minnesota or San Jose.

This team NEEDS to get on a 5 game winning streak and then sustain it with a better than average win percentage. And this team has shown they can do it (I suppose just as well as not being able to do it).

Momentum in hockey is a funny thing... once a team gets going they can ride it for a while. Jarome is playing better, Kipper is about to return...

Maybe it is not all doom and gloom.
