I’m at a point this season where I keep asking “what’s the point?” In no way could this current team get past round one of the playoffs. Everyone keeps saying “but Kirill and Ek will be back!” Yeah, that’s great, we’ll probably win a few more games than we normally would, but it’s unrealistic to expect those two to win the cup for us. Not with Billy’s bottom six busts plaguing the second line. Honestly, the season is done, let Kirill and Ek heal instead of pushing them back before they’re really ready.

It’s great that Rossi and Boldy decided to show up and actually win a home game yesterday, but two clutch goals aren’t enough to silence the deafening noise of blowing a top 8 standing in the league.

The very definition of "Backing into the Playoffs".  Can Kirill and Ek be saviors ... will they even be ready to play?

With Vancouver's regulation loss yesterday, it would appear as if they are hooked up to several machines on life support. Calgary now is the only team to worry about, and a win vs. San Jose on Wednesday should do it. 

Now it's about getting Ek and Kaprizov back healthy and I suppose there is no Midsy update? 

Yurov contract termination watch is now on. Will Metallurg keep him until May 30th?

Ryder Ritchie scores the series clincher for Medicine Hat.

Calgary had already clinched. Riley Heidt brings Prince George back from the dead to tie the series at 3. Heidt had 4 goals in the last 2 games with a hat trick last night. Game 7 is tonight.

Baby Wild on a 4 game winning streak, yet, The Wall does not seem to be playing. Vaj is almost at .500 now and has moved above the .900 sv% target. Haight's got 20 goals as a rookie, not bad. Milne has 15. 

While not mathematically eliminated yet, the Baby Wild are roommates with Vancouver at this time.
