Well however encouraging that game against Tampa was we're still out of the playoffs as of right now since NYR won again.
The Pens crapped the bed hard and now it's going to be a dog fight the rest of the way to make the playoffs. None of the teams currently in are going away imo.

I think it was the official 100th birthday of the NHL? MaybeAnyone know why NHL's Instagram had pictures of Lemieux with birthday cake and him saying "Happy Birthday!"? This was from yesterday.

Indeed. I would say the bright side is we have a lot of home games coming up, but we've already blown 2 of those vs Hawks/Canucks.
We play Philly this week who has lost 7 in a row and then we have a home and home against the Sabres. After that we have 7 of our next 11 games being at home.
This month is kind of a make or break month for us. If we don't make good headway in the standings with all these home games we might very well miss the playoffs.
