What is going to be fascinating for me is to see how Vegas does next year (and beyond).
I have given up doubting them this year as they have made me look like a complete idiot time after time after time.
But I still maintain they are due for a major regression- and it obviously ain't happening this year.
They are on some kind of magic carpet ride- one of those years when just about everything falls into place and goes your way.
And add to that they pretty much have a roster full of players who are having incredible, career years. Many of whom have never even sniffed a season like the one they are having.
And- they will also have to deal with what the Preds had to deal with this year- no longer being the great underdog story, but now being the "big dogs"- the favorite. They won't catch anyone by surprise next year. They won't be a team of destiny any longer. And as we saw this year with us, it is incredibly difficult to make runs like this two years in a row.
Factor all of that in and it is going to be fascinating to see what happens going forward.
