For so many reasons, I am happy fighting is on the fringe of NHL games.  I wouldn’t hate some old time hockey tonight though.

Unfortunately the season is effectively over.  Don’t need to win games that don’t matter.

Beating he Leaves is always a must win.   We need a good start n the road.  Come out ready to go.  

So I will say Muscle Weight.

I mean teams have sat players likely to be traded at the deadline for a game or two prior.

The 23-man roster limit remains in effect until the deadline.  Sure, we might sit, say, Okie and Girgs if they're on the way out, but the team can't add players to the roster in excess of 23 players until the deadline.

This will be the absolute last post I have with regards to playoff chances. Just sayin though....win tonight and tomorrow, 6 points from 8th with Philly twice in the same week not too far down the road. Winning tonight and tomorrow night would be something this team NEVER does but at LEAST I have a sliver of interest in the month of March. I don't feel great about the performance tonight and think they get slapped around to the tune of 6-2 with an empty netter.

Toronto will be very motivated this game after what happened in December.

Lets all point and laugh at the team that has been demonstrably better than us for at least a decade.

And yet we still beat them at great frequency

Philly always has been and continues to be the team that will fall out. We have a game in hand, and they don't play until Saturday...vs Tampa

I think we get our ass kicked tonight and we can officially move on from this playoff pipe dream we have this year. 13 years and counting in a league where 1/2 the teams go to the playoffs is straight disgusting. I am disgusted as a fan that ownership lets this happen. But, unfortunately i will be sitting my old ass in front of the TV tonight watching the Titanic sink for the 13th time....LOL
