The team has been playing with great effort, discipline, and most important of all, they had been playing as a team. However I feel that they are close, but not quite an elite team yet. Yes, they been quite focused as a team, getting that most of time from most of the players in recent game. Isles my favorite team still have area to improve - PP, face-offs, protecting the crease area in their own zone. and they can also be a little better on watching for rebounds. cash in on those chances in front of the net and use more deflection to score goals. Never be satisfied and keep improving, staying healthy and you will be in the playoff for sure. Remember that the Rags is a very talented team with an elite goalie and Caps can be competitive if OV get hot again. Detroit, Ottawa have also been playing quite well up to now. It is never going to be easy this season.
