It'd huge, but not really. I think our sure bet is beating the Pacific teams we need to beat and keeping the Division. I don't want to add Chicago, Calgary and Colorado to the teams we need to worry about.
The biggest reason this would be a must win is that if we do lose the Division, we'll have a shot at #6.

Been saying it for a while now and still stand by it.
Finish ahead of Chicago and we'll make the playoffs. This is a big big big game, for numerous reasons. 1) To get past Chicago. 2) To get the ROW AND head to head tiebreaker. 3) Respond after losing and avoid a Phoenix like let down following a regulation loss. 4) Go back 4 up on Phoenix.
We have to win tonight to have more breathing room in division. Well, Hawks also on my "hated teams" list so I support the double "We ******* the Hawks, everybody ******* the Hawks and We smash this f***ing Hawks this year"
Heika says Kari will get all four games at the AAC. Would be shocked if we see Bachman again, honestly. Maybe the back to back but wouldn't be shocked if not.
saw your team play the Wild and Jets live this past week. We caught you on an off night on the dreaded B2B but I am a big fan of the team you have put together. Nice top 2 lines, very good structure to your play. Benn was just great to watch both nights, the lad is beastly!
I really want you to make the playoffs. Glad you got your ownership situation solved, glad Joe is your GM, and Lites is a good "re-hire". My guess is now that you have solidified all three of these key positions with committed passionate “HOCKEY” people your future is looking bright!
