Call me an eternal optimist, but if the Canes continue this surge, they have a slim chance at finding that 8th spot come playoff time.

The trades will shake things up, but I figured I would humor myself and make a thread for 'who to root for/against' each night until we are officially eliminated.

I will start with tonight, 3/4:

Canes over Senators

Maple Leafs over Bruins

Penguins over Rangers

Capitals over Lightning

Islanders over Thrashers (This one is really a toss up, since we need to jump both teams, but an OT game would hurt us a lot).

Sharks over Canadiens

All of these are plausible (Canes and Leafs winning being the biggest stretches). But if they all come to fruition, we are a mere 6 or 7 points back from 8th...anyone else still holding out hope for a playoff run?

Interesting side note. At the beginning of the season, we had a 14 game losing streak. We are currently on a 7 game win streak. 7 points back after yesterday. Tampa Bay is on a skid. We pretty much play every team that is between us and the 8 spot at least once. We control our own fate really, with a little luck to boot. BELIEVE!

Uh, no?

I'd prefer a top 5 pick, especially as loaded as we are down in the 2nd round.

Besides, it's hardly possible, and how stupid would we all feel if we missed it by a game or two, then end up late in the pack for the draft.

I'm all for seeing our young talent whoop some ass, but lets be realistic here.

As stated by Rutherford we are the team in the best position to move up in the draft no matter where we finish. Not sure how high we could actually move up.I think the way the team is playing we are gonna win ourselves out of a top 3-4 pick so why not push for the playoffs?

These next 2 games are very important. Win them both and we very well could be sitting 3 pts out of 8th. Lose them both and any chance for the playoffs could be gone. Possible 4 points this weekend against two teams right in front of us in the standings.

To be honest I'm a canes fan, but I rather not see them in the playoffs. I mean getting a 7th or 8th seed and getting swept by Washington or Pittsburgh does nothin good for the team. I want them to get a 1st or 2nd draft pick so they can get a shutdown

defenseman or a young talented and speedy player to help out staal and then we can become a real Stanley Cup contender again.

Stupid Ducks give up a 3 point lead to lose it in a shootout to the Candiens!!! That didnt Help us... also it doesnt help that Buffalo gave 1 point to Rangers. I was looking at our schedule for March... BRUTAL. We play Washington 3 times and the Pens twice. If we can win all 5 of those... then yes were in the playoffs.. I just dont see how thats possible...this team has to be on the run of its life... I want it to happen sooooo bad! Go Canes!

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By Basbear · Posted

      3rd and Chandler Zavala.......... Id toss in Yohsi or Brano/DJ Johnson if that's what it took to get the trade done.    Bungals need OL B-A-D   Its un-godly to treat a unique HOF level level like Burrow with the OL they have and seems going to this year. People forgot during that bungal SB year, Burrow was sacked like 62 times and I believe had the highest hurries as well. They should be in jail for this, no memeing....

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Basbear · Posted

      I will admit this- Kon doesn't look or play like a 19 year. Much bigger and filled out than I thought he was. Plus initiate the offense during his best quarter and he did make some good passes for FG attempts.   I watch NBA years ago and was a top 3 fantasy yahoo managers for years. Many times a player had like 30 points, it mostly came from one or 2 hot quarters. The others were 5 and 0, so his 16 point game is normal in that regard.    If Ball, bridges, and Miller allow Kon to be apart of the team, just depends on if he clicks of not. Another generic white guy comp popped in my head........he of hornet lore-Gordon Hayward 15 points 5 rebs 3.5 asst Maybe??
