we still control our own destiny, L.A needs to take the spot away from us and they're about to go on a really tough 5 game road trip (where they've been crap this year) against The Devils, Rangers, Islanders, Wild and Blackhawks. I'd be surprised if they come up with 2 wins in that stretch. Meanwhile in our last 10 games we're only facing 3 teams in the playoffs, (NSH, STL, WPG) and one other team that's close (L.A)
Tonight I thought the Backlund line and the Colborne line were brutal in the last half of the game. Bollig-Stajan-Ferland provided some energy but we were relying too heavily on Monahan, Gaudreau and Hudler. Awful giveaway by Russell but Ramo should've had that. We started off the 3rd to slow. But it was obvious that Bobrovsky stole that game. He was spectacular and without him we would've had a pretty comfortable win.
