It’s so nice to not be in the grind of battling with 4/5 teams to make the last playoff spots. At this point in the season, for teams like Vegas, Minnesota, Nashville, LA, Dallas, Vancouver, and Winnipeg… every loss feels so much more significant than every win - and I think that’s true for both the players and for the fans of those teams.
I know whenever the flames are in that group it’s exhausting as a fan. I’m happy when they win but still nervous about the next game or the out-of-town scoreboard. And when they lose… I’m so frustrated and angry.
Much better feeling to be in a spot where the team has a comfortable lead in the division and, far more importantly, the team is playing such a solid style under a great coach - that leads to a consistency that keeps the team sharp and aggressive pretty much every game.
