I know we all want more than just to end this season above .500.  The playoffs? Certainly!  Winning a first round series? Why not?  But can we pause for a moment and celebrate the fact that this team will not finish below .500 for the first time in five seasons?

I know this might sound lame to some, but I think it is a good reminder of where this franchise has come from, and hopefully will not sink back down to for quite a while.  There will be time for criticism of certain players, the coach, the GM, the ticket prices, and a lot more nail biting before the playoff spot is clinched.  Just think about where we were four years ago and where we are now...

Doesn't that feel good?
