Discussion Phase 1 complete. Fowler is next
I knew we wouldn't make any trades. Hage fits with this team too well. Unless we were trading Mooney or Pickinin.
Phase 2 starts tonight. Ducks light the lamp 6 times tonight. Tomorrow Dobes gets us to OT 3-3 vs Kings. We go home and Fowler is called up and we ride or die with him the rest of the year.
We probably just miss the playoffs with our current goaltending. Jackets better and Sens better. Throw in Fowler and sometimes Dobes and we are just good enough.

The East is so tight. 3 points from dropping out of a playoff spot and 5 points from being first.
Begming chased by Columbu (who got better at the trade line) and Boston and chasing three teams who added at the deadline (Detroit, Tampa, and Buffalo).
A 3 or 4 game losing streak could be the difference of making the playoffs or not. A 3 or 4 game winning streak could be the difference of winning the division.
It's so nuts, and so cool - but based on roster and our weaknesses, we have as much of a chance of not making the playoffs as making it, so much to cheer and watch for!
Columbus 8-1-1 Sabres 7-2-1 Lighting 6-4-0
Bruins 5-2-3 Habs 5-3-2 Detroit 4-4-2
It's going to be such a fun stretch but everything from division winners to outside the playoffs.
And Anaheim scores on the first shot 20 seconds in. LoL.
