I see the point about the home/away results, but their home results have been worse than their road ones. 2 wins from 7 in their own place, those being against Winnipeg and the Islanders. But they've lost(either in regulation, OT or a SO) to the teams currently ranked 29th, 28th, 25th and 24th. Thats not good.
Lots of rumours of unrest. Weren't they contemplating blowing up and beginning a full rebuild in the off season? Rumours that Wilson was speaking to Dan Bylsma about taking over from McLellan too recently(which obviously were rubbished by Wilson). They seem like a car crash in their own zone, let in as many as we have. Their top scorers have terrible +/- scores too, Burns is -7!
Really fancy our chances of getting something here. If we are serious about making the play offs, now is the time to prove it. A wobbling franchise showing cracks and being there for the taking, plus being a divisional rival just below us. As long as we aren't too banged up and fatigued from last night, I'm really optimistic we can get something tonight.
Lets just make sure we start well and don't give them any headstarts.
