Sutter doesn't care about the division win. He's only focused on the next game. Get guys used to winning battles where there is no space. Rounding into playoff form. Getting Markstrom rest isn't a thing, since he feels that a couple of 4 day breaks is all he needs. It's not about having 2 goalies, since that's what you have when you are a team that wins rounds. He has one goalie. That doesn't mean you don't see the backup during the playoffs, but don't expect it. The last week is interesting. Beating VAN effectively (not officially) puts them out. A VAN loss and Dallas with 2 points eliminates them. VGK can still get as high as 97, but they play Dallas and STL. They also have a B2B. I'm not counting them out, but Dallas has SEA, ARI and ANA, plus the head to head with Vegas. NAS has 5 games left with all but one against a playoff team. The only troubling thing for me is the tendency to play whatever game the other team plays. We are better we we set the tone. Maybe it's a product of the reffing right now, as it has seemed very regular season reffing. Soft calls. Inconsistent. That normally disappears in the first round. Well the soft calls at least. Maybe it's adjusting to playoff style where you don't get a lot of open ice. We are close to the right form. One regulation loss in April. 7 games in 10 nights. 8 in 12.

Dustin is back, so they are ready for the playoffs. Got back Happytoseeyou as wll. Can hardly wait for him to score a goal against the Oilers. Sweet justice. I seriously thought VAN would be better this year. But I guess Tanev was a huge part of Hughes (no pun). Pettersen really struggled to score this season, to start. Vegas should have been better but I guess being the tough guys took it's toll. Too many guys missing. Tuch didn't even get a chance, just shipped off for a softie. The Eichel curse. I guess I would like to see Dallas stay in the playoffs and face either COL or us. Doesn't matter. Just no teams like Vegas. VAN would be a waste of 8 days, if that.

We it's nice that we are the only Pacific team to actually be in the playoofs. NO other team can claim that.

Some of us believed it but would never bet on it. And yes, I consider a poll taken at the start of the season to be like a bet.

Tkachuk needs a new pair of skates. Or he needs to tie them.

Get the top unit back on.

Poor Lindy, can't buy Stage 4.

We started using 2 D on the PP

Backlund did make a good play by not touching the puck.

Tanev

Okay Backlund, you still suck. Hehe

Backlund you marvelous bastard. I take it all back. Stage 3 complete. Begin stage 4

Need a Stage 3 now.

We scored n the other one because we played the top unit the whole time

Lindy, just shoot.

PP time. Get one Lindy. Oh crap, Backlund starts.

Lower body. Week to week

We don't seem to draw any hooking calls unless it's Johnny carrying the puck. Playoff reffing for us.

Missed that. He played one game this year and let in something like 8 goals.

Whatever happened to Namestnikov? He played 11 with Dallas, but not tonight.

We are the slump busters and first NHL point against team. Bishop on LTIR, has been for the season.

Why does Hanifin make a good play and then blows it on the next shift
