Dallas is shutting off our entry plays. Blues are going to have to put it deep and go after it
We have only 4 shots on goal and there is a little over a minute left.

I don't understand this team. How can you come out so flat. Where is the leadership and the fight?

Panger and JK were talking about '08-09 as an example of how a team can turn it around. I've always had mixed feelings about that year. The epic comeback to finish in 6th was amazing as a fan, but we got swept by Vancouver in the first round. All it ended up doing for our rebuild was set it back a bit.

NOW, that being said, if we had stayed at the bottom of the pack in the standings that year we could have drafted a guy like Tavares or Duchene, which would have been great. On the other hand, the guy we did grab in the 1st round that year was Rundblad. And Rundblad became Tarasenko a year later. So in the end maybe it doesn't make much of a difference.
