Good effort and well played game by both sides. We just seem to win that in bloody building!! We just didn't get enough hands around the net. The goalies were both great. Our D played well and kept elhers to the outside. His speed is amazing to watch. He circled the zone at least 4 different times where our guys just couldn't catch him. I just cant understand how he didn't get traded at the deadline. Andersen and hinds were great pickups. These guys create so much offense on the forecheck. Always pressuring the player with the puck. Lazarev must love the space they create. His numbers of late reflect it. With bishop hurt, we never had much of this in the first half of the season. Hopefully dumont can find a player or two like them in the off season. Our PK was very good. They moved the puck well but our guys held the fort. We certainly had our chances to tie it up at the end. That penalty to make it a 5 on 3 actually screwed us out of a goal. I forget who it was for us in-front of the net but resop was down and out, and the puck hit his pad on the delayed call. All in all, it was a playoff atmosphere in the rink Saturday night!

As of today they play BC in the first round of the playoffs. No easy task.
Although I like to add that out of all the lower end teams I am sure nobody wants to play us.
Think they can make up much ground in the next month?

Probably because their 12-5 in 2015. Bingo. I did not think that would have been that hard of a conclusion to come to. Halifax + CB are most likely to upset a team in the first round. CB has a lot of talent and should be a lot better than where they are. CB basically ran on 1/3 competent overagers for half the season and had guys that flat out wanted nothing to do with being here. Plus a Captain that cannot get healthy. Dumont should tie into the sloppy first half somewhere but regardless they are better than what their record holds.

I think we need to be in #9 or #10 which in my opinion will give us a very chance of making it through the first round and i believe the second round. Should this happen then all is possible and that is given we stay healthy.

Travel could be a big part of it though depending on who they play. If it 2-3-2 series a split in the first 2 games puts the Eagles in good shape

That is true no doubt. Farthest east. The good shape part could go either way. We were just messing around with you by the way.
