Last night defined what is so frustrating about this years team. Beat the number one team in the conference relatively easily on the road. But lose to the fourth worst team the game before.
They are keeping themselves in the mix thanks to Winnipeg falling off the map. But Nashville has worked themselves into the mix as well.
I still don’t think they are going to make it because they are so inconsistent. But I’m not as worried as others about the future because they have shown that with half decent goaltending they can beat anyone in the league.
There’s something off with the team though. There are enough smart people though that I think they will figure out what tweaks are required in the offseason. I also think a lot of players are going to look themselves in the mirror and come back much stronger.
We shall see what happens.
