But the Senators are still 10 points out of eighth, and I personally refuse to get my hopes up until the last-10 goes above 5-x-x (which the current 3-7-0 certainly isn't) and stays there for two or three games.
Just to show that the rest of the season is not totally without entertainment value -- a win in Toronto on Saturday would be nice on its own merits, no matter what the points gap or the last-10 numbers are.
