The 7-3 loss to the Oilers was the lowest point for me as a fan this year. I was absolutely disgusted, calling for Gulutzan's head, and questioning the heart and effort of the players. Pretty sure a lot of us were after that game. At that point I was convinced we'd probably finish bottom 5 and be in contention for the draft lottery.
But man, was I ever wrong. What a brilliant turnaround by this team. Full marks to the players and coaching staff for righting the ship, climbing back up the standings and getting back to where we all hoped they'd be. They figured it out, and now here we are. Headed back to the playoffs for the 2nd time in 3 years with a young, hungry team that has the potential to do some damage.
