from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
NHL players pay lip service to the fact that a win in October is as important as a win in December, which is as important as a win in early April, but you never get the sense they actually believe it — or until they arrive at the final week and find themselves with just enough of a cushion to sneak into the playoffs.
Take the NHL’s Western Conference race for example. If playoffs were determined only by how a team finished up, then the Edmonton Oilers would be on their way to the post-season, thanks to their wonderfully entertaining surge of the past seven weeks, which came after injuries to Shawn Horcoff, Sheldon Souray, Ethan Moreau and others looked as if it would doom them to the conference cellar again.
