Well in my mind, we've just completed the 4th 7 game series, which we won 5-2. However, in that series were a SO win v New Jersey, 2 wins over the Coyotes and beating the Avs. I think its fair to say that that series was favourable for most teams.
These next 7 will be incredibly tough.
@Leafs - L
@Sabres - W
@Penguins - L
@Blackhawks - L
Rangers - W
Stars - W
@Canucks - L
Think we could well go on a little skid here. The Leafs are winnable, hopeful for a point out of that one. Sabres "should" be a win, although other than the Tampa game the other day, they aren't lying down for many teams at the moment.
Pens are an odd one, losing horribly one night then winning the next. Could go either way that one. We can't knock off the Hawks twice in their own building twice in one season can we? Might need Jonas back for that one. Rangers and Stars, both of those teams are pretty poor on the road, so hopeful for 2-3 points out of those 2. And then the blinking Canucks. I really really really hope we can knock them off in their own barn, would be amazing.
If we can somehow win this series, I be chuffed. Wins against the Leafs, Sabres, Rangers and Stars is realistic I think. Be interesting to see how we get on.
