I don’t even care about how many points they get. I’m confident they’ll be in the playoffs with a team made for the playoffs. I haven’t been this excited since ‘04 when that team was even exciting as a team in the regular season compared to its predecessors. Me and my roommate hung out and listened to their playoff clinching game on the radio as if it were a game on TV, even though making it was a formality at that point. It was worth it to listen to the game just to hear the excitement in Peter Maher’s call at the end. He was warming up his Yaaaaaaaa Baby for the playoff excitement to come.
The team may cool off some, they may run into injury problems.. who knows. But I strongly believe a Daryl Sutter team doesn’t take a big step back in their level of play in this spot. His teams have been known for consistency. He’s only crashed and burned after years on a team. Right now they’re so happy to not be underachievers they’ll do anything Daryl says all year.
Their results may not stay the same, but I just don’t see a big drop off in level of play happening.
