GDT | Game 65 | at Seattle | Wednesday, March 12th | 10:30 PM EDT

We're still giving a shit in mid march. Been awhile.
exactly, son and I were saying this on the drive home (he was super choked over the loss but as he said, at least this year, he looked forward to going and was somewhat excited unlike the last couple of years
 
Not if we're only going to miss by a point or two. If we're going to miss we need to miss by a lot so that the draft pick is a single digit number. If it's going to be 14th then we may as well make the playoffs and get caved.
historically we are rarely "caved" in the first round (at least since 1983)

game 7 in 1994, 6 in 1996, 1997 was bad, 1998 won, 2002 won, 2004 won, 2006 lost but not caved, 2008 won, 2009 bad was a sweep, 2010 won, 2011 game 7 ot, 2013 bad, 2014 won 2015 won, 2017 lost in 6 ergo not caved, 2020 won, or if you prefer lost in 6 in 2nd round, 2021 won

In 40 years, we have only been caved in 1st round 3 times
 
I wouldn't say we're "fans" of them, however.
The truth often hurts and is not pleasant to contemplate.

The easiest way to perpetual mediocrity is to shoot for 8th place and take an (insert goalie's name here) "and anything can happen" approach.

Ask Geeman if you don't believe me.
 
Roy looks like a guy who would be happy to play one game a week in the Swiss league so he can spend most of his time chasing tail. No sense of urgency to his game, like he's playing in a scrimmage.
If I had his talent I'd be the same. T'would be a grand life! And no trips to Trumpmerica!
