The main positive right now is that we are 6 points up on 9th place, and none of those teams below Pitt are winning many games. It would be nice not to be 8th, since I don't think a series against Washington would go well. But there isn't another team in the East that would scare me. The ending schedule isn't ideal with the number of playoff teams, but I still think we can pull out 7th place.

At this point, the Eastern Conference may be just as good as the Western Conference.

In my opinion, Chicago is a either a good team or a great team right now. Although recently 5-4-1 in the last 10 games, Chicago has improved this year. They are tied for 1st place in the Western Conference. I have never really hated Chicago. At this point in time it mostly looks like Chicago has done what the Red Wings did years ago-- multiple Stanley Cup wins, with a consistent roster of excellent players. Excellent puck-possession strategy. Let's go Wings, and beat these guys!

Upcoming easy wins for the Red Wings (lets hope I don't jinx it)
Columbus
Toronto
Buffalo
Winnipeg
Montreal??

[biggunsbob]

It was a stupid penalty by NK... to cause the 5 on 3.. just flat out dumb.

 

[biggunsbob]

This is a depressing game. Just shows how far we are from a cup..
