After last night’s somewhat surprising (not too surprising as our Florida Panthers tend to do the unexpected) 6-2 win over the Minnesota Wild, I took a peek at the standings and saw that the Cats had crept back to within nine points of a playoff spot, thanks in large part to two-game losing streaks for both current wild card holders, Carolina and Montreal.
I know we have been throwing wild scenarios out there the last few weeks (20-4-1, 15-3, 14-1, what have you), but what about a miracle run that has an actual touch of realism for a middling club that’s only won 29 games so far this season.
