There is the new coach bump, and then there is playing better. It will take time for Sutter to get them playing better (smarter, faster, better defensively, etc). But we can hope for a new coach bump - hell, we absolutely NEED a new coach bump.
30 games left. You have to think it takes at least 10 games (probably more), before we are seeing them play Sutter hockey.
If we sweep these two games with the Habs, we are instantly right back in it.
If we split, we are staring at a huge hill to climb with only 28 games to go.
If we get swept, turn out the lights for this season, and start focusing on analyzing the roster.
