There were 7 teams last year: Colorado, Nashville, NJ, NYR, Anaheim, Calgary and Boston who were all outside of the top 15 in pp and they still made the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>Anaheim, NJ, Boston, NYR, SJ, Minny and Calgary were in the bottom third of goal scoring and they also made the playoffs.<BR/><BR/>As for the rest of the list it is just too circumstantial. If all of those things happen/don't happen we will be in for a dismal year, but a couple of them happening shouldn't be do or die. <BR/><BR/>I think our team is such that we don't have to have a perfect year in order to make it this time around. Last year, because we were so thin, I think it was more critical for everyone to max out and do everything they could. Thing is, they darn near did max out (but for a few players) but the deadline came and we all know what happened after that :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-74890969732373647682008-09-26T10:07:00.000-04:002008-09-26T10:07:00.000-04:00He's right.
