Call the engine room...

Ok, I'm not going to get on here and be one of those natterin' naybobs who are going to run around here with my tinfoil hat, holding a sign that says "The end is near". I would never count our boys out, and would definitely not pigeon hole them into a first round exit. However, with only nine games left before the first round begins, we better start gathering up some steam.

Call the engine room, tell them to double time the coal. We need more power Scotty.

The best way to gather some momentum is to get into the first playoff game and make a statement and win decisively. Anything else does not matter, since the regular season is mostly irrelevant come playoff-time.

There are enough examples of teams that entered the playoffs without momentum that did great and vice versa. What it comes down to is THE playoffs, not what happens before them.

Go Wings!!!

You're half right C-dub, yes a first decisive win is key in the playoffs, but at the same time the players can't "slack-off" (for the lack of a better word) in the final turn of the regular season.

Excellent point. One of the reasons I hate when we are uncontested in 1st place towards the end of the year. A team fighting to have to get into the playoffs is sometimes better off. With all the injuries we had as of late, I hope guys keep fighting to get into form for the playoffs. I don't as much care win or lose at this point, they just need to appear (and be!) ready to go to battle.

i'm hoping that the entry of cleary, homer, and dmac into the lineup will light a fire under this team just in time to get the engines cranking for playoffs. then there's no looking back.
