another win that shows how bad this team is without Larkin.  theyre playing a horrible team, at home, and they barely win.

hey, a win is a win.  but this is just another example of how this team is defying the numbers and - honestly - getting lucky.

it helps that everyone else at the bottom of the east sucks too.

Third CBJ goal was on Reimer.

Raymond is playing like a star. Fabbri had a good game.

Kane is immensely talented, but he doesn't create possession. DeBrincat is in a funk.

OTOH, Edvinsson gets pucks back. And attempts to forecheck against him were futile. I don't care if he makes an occasional mistake if he drives/maintains puck possession like that. At least against CBJ's level of play. Can he do it against better competition? Tonight was a good start, but we'll see.

patrick kane continues to save this team.

The team is at a development plateau right now. Even given the most optimistic read - which would be that Edvinsson sticks and raises the level on D, they are just about as desperate for another center as they have been for the DMan and Kasper is still too far away. Veleno is still terrible, Ras does some good things but if they had the center depth I'd still rather have him at a wing.

We'd be easily 5-6 behind where we are now if Stevie hadn't brought Kane in. This team without Patrick Kane would be well out of playoff contention were he not here.

He'd be even more valuable playing with a center closer to his level. Compher gives it his best, but he's more like a 3rd line guy.

Larkin to be a gametime decision. Reimer in net. Should be a playoff atmosphere tonight.

Wings are wrapping up a 5-game stretch of winnable games: vs Arizona, vs Buffalo, at Pittsburgh, vs CBJ, vs NYI. I wanted 7 out of 10 points. But so far only 4. A win tonight is a must and would mean a 3-2 record over that 5-game stretch. Not great, but maybe stopping the bleeding.
