String a 3-5 game win streak in the next week and we're right back in the hunt.
It's not an impossible feat especially with the home dates coming up. But we have to start playing like our ice is our advantage. Take it one game at a time. You can't fix the season in a game, so don't play like it, but you can take steps in the right direction.
Like Loubo said today, if everyone focuses on winning their own individual battles/challenges then as a whole it'll come together, rather than a few players trying to take the team on their back and do too much (Ramo certainly comes to mind as someone who's focused on himself and taken strides on an individual level).
There shouldn't be pressure tonight because things really can't get much worse in terms of where they're at. Just play like you've got nothing to lose, just like last season when everyone was writing them off. Got to embrace the underdog mentality once again and have fun with it.
Go Flames Go. First step tonight.
