Yes teams win streak is over, but Moose's win streak is very much alive. we believe

We only have a game each against Dallas and Colorado that can be considered weak teams. The rest are against teams fighting for the playoffs or positioning. We probably need 5 more wins total, to put us in and these 2 games are big.

Hopefully Elliott is good to go tomorrow. I don't want to see Johnson start another game until a playoff spot is clinched and whether or not they have home ice is decided.

um what?

So your basically going to go around and be a disruptive force and waste peoples time during a playoff run, because that's what an organizational review is and why teams do it in the off season.

And if Burke needed to do something like this its because there's a systematic failure somewhere in the organization.

At this time of year, you basically get out of the players and coaches way and let them do their thing. Even Treliving said that his activity as to the day to day running of the team is at a low point right now.

Something happened between the game last night and Monday. Burke needs to find it and fix it now, before his turns into a multi game losing streak.

A buddy of mine mentioned the core job in his pocket dawg was terrible. The hole was too close to,the surface of the bun on one side. I'd suggest Burke start there.

Someone is to blame for this mess. Heads need to roll.

I go back to Johnson in net.

I sit Stone for another game.

I don't want to see an important piece injured or having an injury linger because we didn't give them rest when the opportunity presented.

I'd say it's more opportunistic to rest after Calgary wins at least 1 more game against LA. Right now LA is the biggest threat to take a WC spot; take care of business this Sunday and then start resting the big guns.

Elliott still has the hot hand right now, no need to start cooling him off either.

I'd rather see Stone back ASAP. IMO he completes the top 4.

Slotting in Lazar for tomorrow would make sense though. Giving him a shot against a weaker Stars team rather than risking points against LA, STL, or NSH.
