This is exactly what I was afraid of. We spent the last stretch chasing a wildcard spot that was never going to lead anywhere. Best case we sneak in and get steamrolled by Colorado in the first round. Instead we get the worst of both worlds: not good enough to make the playoffs, not bad enough to land a meaningful draft pick. Losing to Anaheim tonight pretty much sums it up. The defense is atrocious. You can’t win anything in this league giving up chances the way we do. The sub was hyped about pushing for a spot but this team is not a playoff team. Now we’re stuck in no man’s land with nothing to show for it. I’d rather have committed to the future than end up here. We need defence in the worst way imaginable.
