Don’t take this for granted. Remember how you felt when they clinched a playoff spot for the first time in almost a decade? Enjoy every bit of this team like you did then.

Thank you for the reminder. It was easy to take for granted this year that we would make the playoffs. Remembering the years when we were one win away (fuck you Florida) or not even close makes me realize we are in the golden years now. Let’s enjoy the ride.
Edit: i was originally irritated that we took Jeff skinner at #7 instead of Nino at the draft year. Nature finds a way of righting itself one way or another. (Still have a Skinner jersey though)

I would guess most fans now were not there for the really rough years. That’s ok though!!

Man what a game. I remember picking up cheap tickets at the last minute to go to this one because I knew we had a shot to clinch the playoffs and I will never forget it, one of the most memorable and fun games I’ve ever been to. The interview with Petr after the game was legendary.

Unrelated but man do I miss the Fox Sports theme song
Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen a clip of those final 3 or so minutes of the game since watching it live. Crazy to think that the only players left over from that team are Aho, Turbo, Svech, Staal, Slavin, and Pesce.

I was there. It was insane.

I honestly miss Mrazek and Ned on our team some of most fun personalities

“We’re in, we’re in!” is something I think about whenever I’m feeling a little down.
Then I think about how I rolled my ankle after we beat the caps in celebration, what a fun fucking run.

Thanks for posting this. Was at the game and it was just incredible. The whole back half of that season had some magic behind it that made every game a blast. I’m hopeful we can get some of that mojo going into the playoffs (also maybe some of state’s mojo after they win?)

I haven’t heard that one in awhile. Damn that nostalgia just hit hard.
Agree that we should be grateful for this team. I’ll be really bummed if we suck again in 3-4 years without a cup for this core though.

Mike’s an awesome guy, but god I miss John Forsling!
Such memories. I was listening to John call both games on my headphones while soaking in the PNC atmosphere
