Somebody said they though 11-8-1 might get it done?
Last time (week or so ago) I did the "last 10 games" we'd only gained 1 or 2 points on Tampa and Filthy.
Currently, in the last 10, we've gained 6 on both.
They'll have to keep being fucking suck and we'll have to continue to play well, but I guess it's possible..

Okay so not to be the doubting Thomas, but lets be realistic....
This road trip will be disastrous and will end any hopes of a playoff berth this year. :raised-eyebrow:
Last night could legitimately be the beginning of a 7 game losing streak...easily.
When the Caps come home, deflated and embarrassed...they play Toronto, Canes, Jets, Wings...thats probably at least 3 more losses. So the Caps will likely lose 8 of the next 10 games realistically. Of course some teams may throw a stinker and we grab a win, but ALL of the next 10 games are against teams that are better than the Caps....and all teams that are legitimately playoff bound or fighting for a spot, so the games matter to them.
So the good news is...the further we sink, the better our draft position, but it is not going to be fun to watch

Hey Rich, I think the ever optimistic Mick hacked your account.

It's not just about the result for me.
For instance, the Hawks game, I was actually really, REALLY disappointed about the way we played that last period. Lindy stood on his head all through the Hens game and was great in the Hawks game, but our boys let him down in that third period.
That should have been another shutout, but our guys just couldnt be bothered. I would have liked to have seen a bit more effort to get Lindy that reward of another shutout. That was a "Kuzy" third period.
A 4 - 1 win is a great result, but it should have been 4 - 0.
Shutouts for goalies are as important as goals are to scorers, imho and they can't do it by themselves.
The whole demeanour of the Caps last night exhuded failure, from start to finish, although Lindy was, I thought, once again our best player that game.
We may be up against it on this road trip, but at least let's give them a game. :cross:
