While ya'll are all busy giving out awards at mid season, not even mid season since the REAL SEASON is 2 plus months away, let's take a look at the last 10 games played.

We are 7-3. Great. Woohoo.

Only problem is the 3 losses came against the Ducks, the Preds and the Wings.

Uhhhhhhh.....the good teams. The type of teams you have to beat from the git go in this playoff format.

I do think Schwartz, Lehtera and Teresenko have added a huge missing ingredient for playoff success that this team has sorely needed. If Hitchcock doesn't fork this thing up I think the offense is good enough to win post season. And I think these 3 guys have forced Hitch to change up his puck control system a little bit too.

That leaves goal tending and defense as to how deep we can go, imo.

griffin says Elliotts gold. We'll see. If he is, one huge hurdle jumped.

As for this D being ready in play offs? I don't see it good enough or tough enough to go deep. If the team makes a big move before the deadline, I think it's going to be on the blue line. And it better not be for another quick stick. We need some beef.
