As badly as they've played this year, they're still at .500 and in contention for a playoff spot. There have been many years that a .500 record would have been considered a success.
The worst case "successful" scenario? They make the playoffs and get swept by the Capitals. How bad would that be? Great to make the playoffs, but to have to face the best team in the NHL. Brutal!
I said something very similar to Monsieur Catalogues last night. It would be awesome to get into the playoffs, but then what? I just don't see winning a single game against the Caps. And that would be, as you say, Brutal.
I was just thinking last night if the Thrashers can stay within three points until Tuesday, then they have a chance. Then I came to my senses, realized that they actually had a legitimate chance, and know they will lose both games to Philly to fall seven points back of Boston. This is how this season has gone. This season has been a rollercoaster of emotions, sometimes all within a week's span. I doubt these last 12 games will be any different.
