Came out of it fairly well against teams that "know how to prevent zone entries?" We went 1-2-1 against those teams, were outscored 8-1 in the three games we lost and were shutout twice. The WSH game was promising for sure, but the games against FLA, TBL and CAR most certainly were not.
It's post all-star now. Meaning teams are starting to ramp up their play. Once the trade deadline is gone the play will ramp up even higher. Scraping our way into the playoffs is a nice gesture, and it even puts a couple home gates in the owners' pockets, but if we can't beat the playoff teams now -- what are we gonna do against them when we're actually in the playoffs?
The has been a relatively fun season, and I'm not looking to ruin it for anyone, but I don't want to just fight and battle for two home playoff games every season like it's our version of a Stanley Cup. I want the actual Cup.
