AT LEAST…

Yes we lost against one of the worse teams in the NHL, but here is my list of at least that makes everything better:

At least…:

• …the team did rally back in the third. We could have very well just given up after the huge momentum shift when the second goal was let in, which in turn lead to a third goal. We could very well have lost this 4/5 to 1.
• …Kostitsyn had another superb game, further improving his confidence and his comfort level in the NHL. This mental development will help him come playoff time, and in turn will help the team.
• …we picked up one point. It may not seem as much at first, but when one considers that in the case of a tie in points with the Senators, we would loose due to less wins. Therefore this single point sets us apart at odd numbers from them. Assuming they win their game in hand, we are ahead of them. From here on end as long as we match their record, we finish atop the Division and therefore have good chances at facing one of our preferred opponents in the post-season.

saved the best for last

• …we had plenty to laugh and be amused about. Despite missing out on a point, which on paper should have been ours, I have been chuckling and giggling all night and morning and it’s not just because of [i]she who must be obeyed’s[[/i] up close attention to your humble narrator. Thanks to another solid outing by Toskalacantstopapuck, we have plenty to entertain our selves over. In case you didn’t see the highlights during the game, or didn’t catch Sports Center, here is a short handed goal that will make the “Top Ten Worse Gaols Let In of All Times” highlight reels as long as the game exists.
