Falcons Best Shot Is Complete NHL Lockout

By the way the season has played out for Springfield with the NHL Lockout in affect Springfield is off to a phenomenal start this year, they currently sit at 2nd place in the Eastern Conference with a 16-8-2-3 record, 37 points. If it weren't for the NHL Lockout the Falcons would probably be in the cellar of the Eastern Conference. When you look at it from my point of view the Falcons would not have at least 5 key players that are contributing to their success; Cam Atkinson, John Moore, Nick Holden, David Savard, and Thomas Kubalik. Without those players, God only knows where the Falcons would be sitting in the Eastern Conference, because those five players would be playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets right now. With the way I look at it the Falcons can rejoice if there is a complete NHL Lockout especially if they keep up the style of play they have, they could end a 10 year drought of 0 playoff appearances. The last time the Falcons made the playoffs was the 2002-2003 season, where the Falcons made it as far as the Conference Quarterfinals, but ti get to that point they had to complete a Best-Of-3 Series against the 7th Ranked Hartford Wolf Pack. They were eliminated by the Hamilton Bulldogs 3-1.
