Eating away at the Scary Sixteen

[Cranky]

The Hab's are slowly and surely climbing the ladder. Berezin will help. I expect to see Saku somewhere in the Benign Nine. Insurance reasons (60 game payout). Bruins are going to be tough but doable. Like my old girlfreind.

Penguins are picking up steam. Not good.

Isles and Rangers are scratching their butt but planted it right in front of us. Somebody tell Fleury that his momma is ugly and tell Yashin that he got his money now, he can float.

I am keeping an eye on their progress.





Scary Sixteen. No free lunches in here. They need to play .500 hockey to make it. OR ELSE. Dream of 16 points from this run. Anything less and they may as well polish the old golfing shoes.  <br>

Benign Nine,
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>

Sour Six, possibly 6 points. These boys are not going to be kidding around at this time of year.

Apr 13 02      Sat      HOME       Sabres       <br>

Scary Sixteen =16 points
Benign Nine   =15 points
Sour Six        =  6 points            
That is 37 points from possible 64.

They have a total of 37 plus 51 for 88 points. Right smack in heart attack territory. This thing is going to the wire.

That is one hell of a tough sched.Heck,even Atlanta is no pushover.


We will see what the boys can do.

Excellent analysis HA.
It will be interesting to follow the results from those games to see if they can keep par with your observations.
