Maybe among some true believers, but I think most of the more rational fans knew this wasn’t our year. I’m proud of what this team did. They finished the regular season with the highest point total since 1993.
Had Roloson not been spectacular, things could have been different. But the hockey gods give and the hockey gods take away.

speculation in the twitterverse yesterday on the Thrashers perhaps moving to winnipeg instead of the coyotes, and then who would move from the western conf over to the east? there was some mention of the preds moving to the southeast division of the East, but i think the consensus was that other franchises have already repeatedly requested to be moved to the East [red wings for one] and that would be more likely than Nashville moving over.
Rollie the goalie has never lost a playoff.
