What I mean is when I look at the standings I see teams with 14 games played to LA's 11. Then I think if Detroit and St. Louis lost their next game (which would be their 14) and obviously everyone else didn't play (which they will) and LA won their next 3 (which gives us 14 games) we'd have 16 pts and be in 6th place in the standings, suddenly right in the playoff picture.

We have (to me anyway) 4 very winnable games in the next 7 (Calgary, Edmonton, Colorado and Columbus)...and three iffy, but if we can't beat Anaheim, Detroit and Chicago then we ain't got a chance...so we should be able to 8-10 points but I just don't recall LA going on extended winning streaks other than the playoffs last year.

Isn't that the only winning streak that REALLY matters? I don't care about 7 game winning streaks persay. I'd certainly be ok w/ winning 8 out of 10 or something along those lines.

Right, I agree, but I don't recall that many. I know we went 8-2 or something after losing to Detroit last march, but how many times in the last 5 years have we gone 8-2 in a 10 game stretch. Or 10-3, or whatever? If someone knows, cool, I just have no recollection though.

I'm sure you can look up the schedule for each year and check it out. Personally, I need to get my ass working.

This is a philosophical question that no one except POSSIBLY Mitchrock can answer.
