Im happy that we wasted games against PIT and WSH while Ottawa wasted games against NYR and CAR (while scoring less goals than us and allowing more!)
So now the real question is, which team will stop sucking first?
Ottawa gets toronto next, so they’re bound to win. Therefore, we better win to keep pace.

How any team allows the rangers to score 4 goals with gaborik injured is beyond me.

Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism

I dunno if Ott is bound to win, they got wrecked the last time they played toronto. And yeah my guess is even the Rangers get lucky once and a while.

Agreed

but we’re not dead yet. 1 point behind Ottawa with 3 games in hand. A quick glance at the remaining schedules tells me that neither of us will be having an extremely difficult stretch, and April 10th could very well be the division deciding game.

Torres: Roy, give me your stick…

It’s very strange. Roy seem to be a hard working, energetic, young. You would think he would be in some kind of great shape. This picture though, kind of makes him look like a Buddha. If he was painted gold, I’d put him out in my garden.

he looks like buddha because of his shoulder pads are wrapped in like 5 layers of bubble wrap.

Not even the Toronto Maple Leafs could kill my optimism
