What it will take...

Out of boredom, I decided to see what it would take for us in the final month and a half of the season to make the playoffs. In case some of you didn't know, we sit 28th in the league...

-Win practically every game. Can only drop maybe 6 at the most by no more than 1 point (maybe 2).

-Have an average points of +4 for every game.

-Philly, Boston, and Montreal all have to start losing pretty badly.

-In order for the 3rd point to be true, we have to beat Boston and Montreal in March by at least 3.

-We have 5 divisional games. MUST win all of them by at least 2.

-Pray every night, drink our milk, don't run with scissors, and wear our seat belts.

If we do all of this, we have a shot at 8th in the Eastern.

With all that being said, if anybody is holding out hope, forget about it. Have to play the Pens and the Caps a few times each and they will probably finish out towards the top of the league. We get some upsets, don't get upset, and have a few dominant games, there is still an outside shot. If it were to happen, this team would go down in history as being the best comeback team in the history of the NHL.

I wouldn't say we need to lose. Yeah, that pick is big. But we had one of the best 1st rounders in last years draft...and we traded him. <_<. For JR it is about KEEPING the fan base. Sure, we understand wanting that 1st pick and losing to get it. But let's face it, your casual fans won't show up if you drop off the face of the Earth and with over a month of games left, that could be big in a struggling economy. In terms of team, yes, we need to lose. In terms of franchise, the more we win, the better.

      Trap game

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
