Before the last sequence of 10 games, I predicted we'd go 7-2-1 and I was being "glass-half-full." Well, the glass was more than half full! This post is just for fun, I take no credit for the Habs success.
Predicted vs actual. PIT 3-1 W was 4-5 L vs. WSH 4-2 W was 4-2 W NYI 3-1 W was 1-3 L TO 4-5 (OT) L was 5-1 W TO 4-3 W was 6-2 W vs. PIT 4-3 was 6-5 NYI 2-5 was 2-0 WSH 4-2 was 3-2 BOS 4-2 was 2-0 BOS 3-0 was 5-3
total 7-2-1 was 8-2-0
So we have 7 games left, we are almost assured a playoff spot at this point. Here's my stab at the last 7. We'll go 4-3. I think Aebi will paly 2 games, probably against Buffalo and Boston once we secure the a playoff birth. vs. Ott 2-4 NJ 1-3 OTT 4-3 vs. BUF 3-2 vs. BOS 5-2 BUF 3-4 NJ 3-2
This should leave us tied with Jersey for 6th, though that will seed us 7th.
I still think we can take Ottawa. Aebi is do for a good game. There is no way he'll be a 5.00 average for the rest of his career. But maybe that second to last game vs BUF with Huet will be a Habs win. But, I'll go with my first thoughts. Afterall, just trying to have some fun.
