Scarry Sixteen done. Now for the Benign Nine.

[Cranky]

We came out of the scary sixteen right on track, right down to the exact points that was expected. I am getting way better at this, must be the delicate blend of pesticides in my water.

Les Boys need to buckle down and go on a 9 game streak. It's difficult but not impossible. They have the talent to beat any one of these teams, but, what is going to hurt them is taking any of the benign nine lightly. So far so good. One win on the Benign Nine. Glad to see that everybody was so calm, cool and collected about the teams progress........

BTW, I use to do this in my teens, put a calander on the wall and keep track of every game. Only a century or so ago.

Getting superstitious about not keeping this up to date. You think The Simple Man and St. Savard come in here? I can see it now, "hey, micky (as he pats him on the a$$), HA says you have to go on a winning streak, you better do it, and, uhh, wipe the putine off your nose......it's not putine?.......ughhh".  ........... .............. ;D

Benign Nine,      <br>Soft spot, the do or die underbelly of this season, if they put together 15/16 points out of this run, I think the post season is doable. Now, that is .850 hockey.       <br>      <br>Mar 16 02      Sat      HOME      Hurricanes  win--15 pts to go

Happy not to be the only one who think off this

Good work followin' this through, HA, always fun to read.  Incidentally, I have my suspicions on our good captain's return.  

If I was a bettin' man, my money would be on Saturday, March 30th.  Home game.  Penguins in town, along with a certain other player (watching from the press box, mind you), who has also beaten cancer.  Buy your Puffs Plus today, you're gonna need 'em.  Get the ones with aloe, they're gentler.

I wouldn't make the Habs winners of a Carolina-Montreal series like you guys are doing.The Canes outplayed us again last night and should have won that game.It would all be up to Theodore.

That would be great.Right now, anything we get from Saku and Donald will be a huge bonus IMO.
