If we are going to make playoffs, we need the injured vets that just returned to start producing. Raymond was a PPG before he was hurt, last night I forgot he even played for the team. Stajan hasn't done much either, at this point I would rather put a motivated Ferland into the lineup. Big Joe has been the only returnee that has shown me that he deserves to stay IMO.
I've been saying all along this team will fight it out for the last 2 spots in the playoffs, which is a HUGE step in the rebuild. Young teams need to learn how to lose, and that's what we're seeing right now. Even if they finish just out of 8th, I'm still happy. We need to see progress.
No way were they finishing the season with home ice advantage.
