    Ducky reacted to Brandon Blue&Gold in Puck Daddy - We’re a little worried about Winnipeg   
    I read that article earlier today.  I too am worried.  What's been scaring me about this is that Winnipeg almost has to win out the rest of the way since the teams immediately above and below us are running just as hot, if not hotter, than we are.  The Wild can't stop winning with Dubnyk, Calgary carries on just fine without Giordano, LA is doing its wily veteran routine just in time for the playoffs, Chicago stays out of reach and Vancouver looks very secure especially after last night's game.  Hell even teams like San Jose and Dallas could threaten if they go on a streak, although this is unlikely now I do admit.  
     
    We won 5 of our last 6 games and gained basically one spot (on LA).  We could lose that spot before our game against the Blackhawks.  And the Kings get the Oilers twice before the end of the season?  Cmon man!  We need at least one of the teams I mentioned above to cool off, and the Jets can't let up.  This is getting tense.  I both love it and hate it.

    If you asked me 2 weeks ago if we would go 5-1 in our last 6 games, i would have told you NO WAY in hell.
     
    Who did we beat in the process/ Tbay? a very good team, st louis? a very good team, Edmonton? not so good, San Jose? that was a huge win against a team chasing us, and who was the other? was it LA? 
     
    4 Of our last 5 wins in this little 5-1 stretch have been against very good teams too.
     
    Montreal,NYR, Chicago.. who knows, could get 1, could get 2, could get 3 points, could get 6. Who really knows what team will show up. 
     
    If it's the team that showed up against tbay,la,san jose,st louis, we should be fine, if its the team that showed up against edmonton starting in the third and against vancouver the last 35 40 minutes, then all bets are off.

    That wasn't a game we should have won. View it from the Canucks pov and they'd have been extremely upset if they lost to a team in our situation.

    It's weird, for the first time since the start of the season (remember the 1 - 0 shutout of the Rangers by Pav?) I feel confident that both goalies give us an excellent chance to win. That's a pretty sweet place to be. If the Hamburglar or the tall monster in Minnie get hurt those teams are hooped. The fact we have won 5 straight (4 against some of the best the league has to offer) without Buff and Little and Perreault etc. is also a plus. The bad mojo of about a month ago has turned for this team and they deserve it ...

    5-4 is entirely doable with the way they're playing. I'm more concerned with the lack of L's by the other teams in the race. Minny seems to have a spot on lockdown, though that changes if we beat them.
    Tonight is huge if we can get 2 pts.
    My gut says Maurice goes with Pavs, and who am I to judge. I'd start Hutch if it were me.

    Ovi is a pos that I wouldn't take on any of my fave teams. He "goes away" easy of you hit him and limit his scoring opportunities. Get in his lane and block stuff, he'll go away quick. It's what Canada did to him in 2005 and it's worked, to varying degrees of success, ever since.

    You're missing a few parts imo. Championship teams also need veteran presence, leadership and grit. Players like Buff and Ladd (I know you didn't say Ladd) are not a nice to haves for this team. They are a big part of our identity, they are a big piece to what we would like to accomplish in the next 3-5 years. They are two special players that would be very difficult to replace. I appreciate cap restrictions may dictate this not being possible but if it comes down to where do we push this pile of money, I know what I'd do. Obviously some of us will have different perspectives when it comes to determining what's a luxury for this team and what are necessities when you really get into the discussion of how this team is being built. Arm chairing gm'ing is fun when there's no pressure :-)

    I hope you're right.  As much as I like Minnesota.  Wild and Jets with the last two spots and end up in the conference final would likely result in a lot of OT for border security.

    This is my take on the 4 guys... And i really dont think Buff or Ladd are going to ask for stupid money to stay.
     
    Buff i figure stays because hes not a flashy type guy... He dont needs the lights of a big market or warm weather and houses on the beach and hes a quiet type big leader in the room and he likes to work and teach younger players. He likes it here and respects the Team... Throwing Kanes track suit in the shower or whatever shows that IMO.
     
    I heard the comments from Ladd about wanting to win now and dont care about the draft and develop thing... I dont read to much into that. Hes the leader and needs to comment like one and thats what he did. Speaking of being the leader and captain.... Ladd likes the role to much to really want to go... Hes not going to go to a team and become their captain... IMO he will take a lil less money to keep that role on a young up n coming team that he can lead.
     
    Stafford i think resigns with us. If Staff thought he was brought in as a rent a player them i think hed bolt but i think Maurice has let him know he is in the teams plans and has a role on this team now and in the future. IMO he sees he has a good fit with Wheels and Schief and will want to continue with that and see where that line can go.
     
    Fro....  Hes a bit more iffy IMO. Hes said he wants to stay and likes his role with the team and likes Maurice.He doesnt come across as a me me me type so i think he may stick around for 3.5 i think he knows hes not going to get much more then that and if hes comphy with his role here i think he stays.
     
    From what ive seen of this team is the guys have character. none of them seem to have the all about me attitude and thats what im basing my opinion on.

    Here's the problem.  Just because ten people tell you the same story doesnt mean the story has been independently verified by ten people.This is how rumours spread. 
     
    I've heard things that are hilarious in how silly they are but its also human nature to want to seem "in".  When a co-worker comes up to me and says "did you hear X?" and I say oh wow, thats crazy, where did you hear that?  They never say "some dude at the bar on Friday was drunk and told me", it's always "a good friend of mine has a brother who's was actually there and witnessed it!"
     
    Just like the Kane/Wheeler rumours.  I heard from various "sources" but who's the say they werent all started at the same incorrect place?  Because if everyone who claims their buddy or brother or cousin witnessed the incident, then there was a massive amount of people in the room when it happened which just isnt reasonable.
     
    Rumours can be fun.  But are mostly like anywhere from greatly exaggerated to 100%false.
