This is kind of like should we go for the number one overall pick and not play each game earnestly. Throw a few here and there. Might have finally worked for the Oils, but the truth is you have to play to win. It's an attitude and culture, which when you become playoff hardened makes you stronger than the whole or the statistics on paper.
If they make it; i'm delighted. Nothing is really going to be moved or changed substantially based on what we have going. If they don't make it, they continue to work on the pieces and to get stronger. Treliving has delivered.
It's interesting because the team will get a major 5 day rest after Tuesday. Hopefully they will really understand where they stand and it will ultimately come up to all the individuals effort to push through and succeed. They have such great potential when they commit.
We've had two not so great streaks of hockey, which is out of the system. So fingers crossed.
