Sometimes, I really do have faith that this organization will win a Stanley Cup - or anything close to it - at some point during my life. And then other nights, like tonight, I cannot help but feel that such faith is an endeavor in futility. Such a game, in light of their recent skid, makes me wonder why a certain someone would ever even consider returning next season.
I want to say it’s just a bad stretch, but this chart seems to confirm the team in the midst of a downward spiral.
Remains to be seen whether they can rescue themselves from complete collapse - up to and including their standing at the end of the day on April 7 and the captain’s contract status on July 1.
