How many straight years in the post season?


Jays are what, 22 years

Tonight is a must win, if we lose we'll have 95 points, but everybody will be within a point or two with games in hand

Agree. Take the penalty (if need be) and set the tone early that we won't be pushed around. I would love to see Bieksa go after Toffoli and make him answer for his cheap shot.
- LordHumungous

Exactly, Bieksa/Sbisa/Dorsett even Burrows, any of those 4 would be good

doh.

Was half expecting Vey out but I guess that would mean too much line shuffling.

Vey played well last time in LA.

This has all the characteristics of a 'must-win' situation. It's important to head into the play-offs with confidence and playing at your peak, and that means winning the games against top contenders and handling the accompanying pressure (incidentally, @#$#@ LA and their possum playing strategy all year long, I hope they get smoked and Quick blows a fuse or two)

1-0 Jets after one.

Surprised you found a colour photo.

We own the tiebreaker with every team. 95% chance of making the playoffs. I'm not concerned at all.

Ya 1989 was way before 1992?

How do the Rangers afford all those guys? Predict a final for them again!

Maybe not, but it was way before 1993 when we won our second in a row.

How about advancing to round 2?

50% chance.

they both had really good teams around the same time. A few of Oaklands older great players went to Toronto, Dave Stewart, Ricky Henderson, to win a few more.

A's played in the World Series six times 72, 73, 74, 88, 89, 90 winning four times.

Makes a bit of sense need Kenins to get back to crashing and banging and LA is the perfect team to get rolling against for Kenins.

Need to see a full 60 minute balls-to-the-wall effort from the entire team tonight.

4-1 Canucks!

How do we own the tiebreak vs LA?

I think the Rangers have better depth and if Henrik gets hot they could win it all?

When I was a kid I went to the Coliseum to see the A's play. There was a guy in the crowd in full catcher gear with Steinbach on the back. I ran up to him and asked for his autograph. He points to the field at the real Steinback behind home plate. I was so embarrassed.

More regulation and OT wins.

They need a new stadium and a rich owner

Rangers have a legit shot no question...I just can't see teams solving a healthy Carey Price and once Price gets in their heads...look out. Lundqvist is still a bit leaky even at his best. Price has shown none of that really this year. Plus you have the AV getting outcoached factor too...

Oh OK my bad for some reason I was thinking season series...
