-Ducks (20 seconds)
-Canucks (2-0 lead in the third)
-Blues (exactly 12 wins..)
-Draisaitl (comes back prematurely just to score 2 back breaking goals and go back on IR the next game)
-Chickening out on Parekh in ANA (0-6 PP that night)
-Two 2004 no goal clones kissing the goal line by 1mm
Take your pick.
Truly unbelievable they were kept out, tbh. That in itself was an act of hockey god-dom given the list above and how the difference is likely going end up being 1 single point.
Most epic team to not qualify for playoffs. Im blown away by their resolve and compete against all odds.
They took the "no you can't" narrative and pushed back as far as a tag tag team of reclamation projects and waiver wire pickups cobbled together possibly could. Battled the balrog to the belly of the underworld and the highest peak. And in the end, only divine luck could deny them. Everything else within their control they ####ing slayed and defeated. Kings.
Heart and identity are back in Calgary, if nothing else.
