It’s going to be fun for the post season and feed families; the falloff in Detroit needs studied; but the number of former Sens Yzerman is picking up is wild

Perron is playing much better. I realize he had injuries/family stuff, but you never know. Great to see. Thought it was another vet Sens bring in and they just fail. Hopefully he continues to roll.

Perron getting hot how is so beneficial to this team to add secondary scoring.

Team still really needs to learn to play 60 minutes, but a win and a loss to Detroit and Montreal is nice to help their chances.

Some of those first period penalty calls....

Chabot on that 2nd Detroit goal... he broke his stick and then it's like he thought he had to get off the ice and skated away from everyone, haha. It was so weird. Oh well, still got the win in the end!

Sitting on the lead is so frustrating. I swear it doesn't work out that well most of the time. I'd love to see a hockey person describe/go into detail why it does/doesn't work. As a fan it pisses me off. Stop dumping it in and actually try to score!!!


Edit - Looking at the 2nd wild card... it's obviously up for grabs, but if any of those teams get on a win streak, they're going to take it. Everyone is floundering.

Last 10 games:
Montreal: 3-3-4
Islanders: 4-3-3
Rangers: 3-6-1
Columbus: 2-7-1
Detroit: 3-7-0

Like... the last playoff spot is almost up to anyone who can win 10 games in a row, lol. Go Columbus! I'd have to think it's going to be Rangers? Why are they so bad this year? Canadiens are this year Flyers, Islanders could be a sleeper, Columbus and Detroit are feeling reality again... I dunno. Weird year.

It would be Leafs/Sensi if playoffs started today. I don't think Leafs will win the division over Florida...but the idea of Sens/Leafs match up appeals to me.

I don't know. First time making the playoffs in so long, new group, itd be nice to have not have Leaf fans invading the building. Although, if they did win it would be a great way turn the page for this new core.

I go back and forth wanting Montreal to make it. When was the last time all three teams made the playoffs and were good teams?
