If we were definitely out of the running for a playoff spot, i would agree that folding would be the way to go, much as I hate even admitting it.
However, if we can squeak out a wild card spot, then all bets are still on .... theoretically. All tallies revert back to ZERO and if we come up against The Bruins in the first round, I really fancy our chances, in spite of what they are doing in the regs. We are their kryptonite and have been for some time.
The fact that we are even discussing this possibility is paramount to the way the team has fought back, especially with the ridiculous amount of injuries early in the season.
In spite of all that, the inconsistancy of our team is quite alarming. The goal differentials of some of our wins and then losses is staggering! Coming back from sure losses to win in the 2nd and 3rd periods, then crashing the next game.
This leads me to think this is a mental / locker room issue.
No matter what, I will still continue to support and cheer our team, for what that's worth....
Hope for the best,
, expect the worst, as any Caps fan knows.
