from Sam McCaig of the Hockey News,
The closer the post-season gets, the more fiercely contested the games. Teams want to make sure they’re peaking at the right time, so they try to ensure everyone is on the same page – or at least using the same playbook – as the post-season nears. A player can be forgiven for a slow start to the season, but don’t go cold when your team is desperately trying to win in the spring.
With that in mind, here are a lucky seven players who can salvage their season - and maybe that of their team’s - with an improved showing in February and March:
Ales Hemsky, Edmonton
Granted, Eric Cole and Sam Gagner need to forget about the first half of the season and finally start contributing some goals on a semi-regular basis. If they don’t, it’s difficult to imagine the Oilers sneaking into the playoffs
A note about Gagner- The Oilers are waiting for results from an MRI performed yesterday on his ankle, which did not improve over the All-Star break.
