Been waiting 30 years for this kid.

Took a look at the standings this morning. I know it's hockey, but they wouldn't even be in the playoffs if the season ended today.

They were one of the worst (if not *the* worst) team in the league a few weeks ago. Now they’re five points back. It’s a nice run.

If the kid is for real, it might not be a mirage like prior runs.

Took a look at the standings this morning. I know it's hockey, but they wouldn't even be in the playoffs if the season ended today.

That's true, but they were 14 points out two weeks ago and now they are just 5 points out with 30 games left. Some teams have games in hand but playoffs aren't out of the question at all.

To answer Drama Queen, Hextall reminded me of Hinkie to some extent. Very much interms of gathering assets. However, Hextall was stubborn and apparently rubbed the owner the wrong way.

His love of Hakstol was, to me, his biggest flaw. Gordon seems much more willing to play the younger guys and have them develop. Lindblom was a guy that was just sitting on the bench with Hakstol. Now that he is getting more minutes, he is showing that he can be an effective player.

Gotcha. I don't follow hockey too closely anymore. I watched part of the 3rd period last night on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I'll have to check them out.
