The playoffs aren't guaranteed, i've seen lots of stories about us getting in the playoffs, almost like it's a guarantee but it's not at all. We are now sitting in the second wild card spot, Minny is on a roll, Calgary is playing well, (3rd in pacific), LA is right there, SJ is still there even altho they are fading... We have a pretty tough schedule left, we have injuries to key players, Not concerned about Buff as he honestly has not been playing well since the ASB, but... losing Little even if it's just 1 or 2 games really hurts.. Reality is, 1 or 2 wins is going to be the difference between making the playoffs and not making the playoffs. I hope we do but it seems like the hockey gods are not on our side. It's too bad cuz this team when healthy can compete with anybody, it would be a damn shame if they missed the playoffs by a point or 2. I'm afraid they might, hope they don't but.. losing your best player (little) who happens to be your number 1 center too, that hurts. Even if it's just for a game or 2, it hurts lots.
