With six games to go, here are a few goals to shoot for:
1. Koivu & Kovalev each have 59 points; 60 + just around the corner. Dare we try for 70?
2. Saku has 17 goals; go for 20.
3. Ryder has 29 goals, 30 just a shot away; anything more is gravy.
4. Bulis has 19 goals, 20 would be nice.
5. The team has 89 points; 90 will likely get them in the playoffs. Dare we dream for 100? (5 wins and a "tie" would do it.) Or at least 97 - that would be the highest total since their Cup year of 1993.
6. Huet leads the league in save "%" and is tied for #1 in GAA (2.09, tied with injured Dominik Hasek), and one behind Kiprusoff in shutouts with 7. Go for the Triple Crown!
7. And a plug for my boy Sid (who won't win the Calder but has been hot as a pistol these past few weeks): 91 points >> Go for an even 100!

I said before the season started that I'd be happy if we made the playoffs, I'm sticking to that. Just heard that "new" Norway lost the semi-final of the world curling championships and the chance to meet canada in the Final. Damn!
