This is totally random, but I need to give credit to management for grabbing Schlemko on waivers. He has 0 points, but is a +7 on a bottom pair who have struggled all year.
He has single-handedly turned our bottom pair from a liability to an asset.
Sign more ex-Tigers, Brad!
Also, playoffs!

Sidenote- Where's the Doughty "I guess" come from?
Pregame comments about the Monahan line...
Quote:
“I guess they’ve had success this year,” Doughty said on Thursday after the morning skate here. ”But I don’t know, I still don’t see them as some of the other lines in the league, that’s for sure. They’re definitely a good line and they’ve been playing great and Monahan is a very good player.”
Hudler has 29 goals and 73 points and happens to be a plus-14. Gaudreau, heading into Thursday night’s action, is leading a very tight rookie NHL scoring race with 62 points. Monahan has 31 goals and 61 points.
“But it’s nothing that we can’t handle,” Doughty said. “We still have one of the best defense corps in the league. We have very good defensive forwards too. We haven’t been able to shut them down so far this year, but tonight, in order to win, we’re going to have to.”
...You know, the line that had a combined 6 points tonight.
I guess when you consider that they came close to another 2 or 3 goals, I guess the Kings did a good job handling them...I guess.

Johnny made Doughty look like an amateur. On one pass to Hudler Doughty flinches a little because he couldn't believe the timing of Johnny's pass and he turns around in bewilderment to see if the Johnny actually did pass it in front of the net. Who would have thought a " 5'9'' " rookie could embarrass a two time cup champ.

With apologies to the Monkees and their song "I'm a Believer"
A musical tribute to Bob Hartley
I thought playoffs were only true in fairytales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Playoffs was going to miss me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw his face, now I'm a Bobliever
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in the playoffs, I'm a Bobliever
I couldn't leave him if I tried
I thought playoffs was more or less a givin' thing
But the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain
Then I saw his face, now I'm a Bobliever
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in the playoffs, I'm a Bobliever
I couldn't leave him if I tried
Playoffs was going to miss me
Now that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Oh then I saw his face, now I'm a Bobliever
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in the playoffs, I'm a Bobliever
I couldn't leave him if I tried
Yes I saw his face, now I'm a Bobliever
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said I'm a Bobliever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm a Bobliever)
Said I'm a Bobliever, yeah
(I'm a Bobliever)
Said I'm a Bobliever, yeah
(I'm a Bobliever)
