  2. MoneyPuck playoff odds have us at a 20.8% chance to make the playoffs and VGK at 59.9%. I don’t hate those odds. A win today would bump our odds up significantly as well.

  3. Zach isn’t hurt he’s just scared of the whooping he’d receive and being the 2nd best 11 on the ice

  5. It’s a __huge__ slap in the face to Sammy Walker that Goligoski is the 4RW tonight and Sammy is in Iowa.

    Also ridiculous how the leadership has *now* decided to phone it in. This could be treated as a must-win game, but they have Goligoski slotting into the lineup as a forward…
