The team keeps working, MN keeps dropping but we're not out of the woods yet. Our oppositions keep winning and despite being in seventh in points, NL shows a more accurate picture. There is no room to relax or let up. Looks like we'll have to grind all the way to April.
With that said, what a spirited come back for the boys! Good on the goalie for staying focused after going down 2-0 within 5 minutes in against the top contender for the cup. At around
That was possibly our best game of the year with respect to our 5-5 play. Too bad the refs started the game off on a bad note with incomprehensible brain spasms of penalties called on Markhov and Guillaume. End result however was A OK.
I am entirely impressed by the performance of the team, fighting to come back. At a time where we question their heart, they dished out a come back to shut all the critics up.
These are all positive signs. Having won a game against Nashville via battling a two goal deficit three times means a lot more than potting a couple in the first and coasting to a "W". Furthermore, looking back at our mini stretch here, the goalie was short of superb, but got the job done, and our "key" player who are not injured have been performing to par.
Last night Samsonov did what we all expected him to do all season long, and he has been doing so since the ugly waiver incident. Although it left a bad taste in ones mouth, the coaching staff’s actions and gambles seem to have paid off, because we now have our Free agent who was signed during the summer. Let's just say he was "injured" this whole time, and now he's in the lone up. We'll need him to remain "healthy" if we want to go in to the playoffs and some.
Things are looking good folks. Much better than anything we've seen for a while, and it's about time. But let me remind you once again we are far from being out of the lion's den. Our current situation is still very tight, but at least now we're headed in the right direction.
PS Sorry to disappoint you all but the NL standings have not changed since everyone picked up points last night. The only way to move up NL will be for us to win in NY and the laughs to loose in regulation. Than on Sunday’s update we’ll be in 8th. Following that any loss (regulation or OT/SO) to the Islanders could aid us in climbing to seventh. Needless to say we need to keep winning, and they need to keep loosing.
