Love the "win to take momentum into next season" philosophy. Its such a load of crap. It means all teams in the finals, bar the GF winner go into the following season with out momentum.
Any round 23 win has lost emphasis after 6 weeks off and a 3 month preseason.
Anyway, would love to see Spicer get a game. He way well be one of those players that thrives at a higher level.
I used to believe the win last round thing too. Until seeing us become dead rubber specialists under Brad Scott only to come out round 1 every year and get dissected in front of a live audience.
Wow actually never pondered it-
Brad Scott
Round 1: Wins 1 Losses 9
Last H&A Round: Wins 6 Losses 3
So last round momentum had zilch carryover to hitting the new year in winning form. In fact our sole round 1 win in 2016 came after losing an EF final the year before.
