I don't think Columbus is in the class of Tampa or Boston. I just think you're over estimating us. We have a lot to fix and remedy before the playoffs. We need MM, We need Rust to play at a high level and be healthy, hopefully Reese plays to his abilities and we dodge further injury. But currently we are in a precarious position and our depth on defense is terrible. I sincerely hope you're right, but right now I wouldn't mention anything about a parade.My reply was solely aimed at the stat of allowing only 7 ES shots a game. Not who we did it against, not how we did it, just that simple stat. If you're only allowing that many shots a game, you're winning the vast majority of your games. I'm not getting ahead of myself at all on that score. Sure there's harder teams to do it to than Dallas, but that's not the point.
But, since we're here, we can already take on those teams. We're running just as hot as them since January and have beaten all of them this season. That we've chosen Tampa and Boston for two of our off-nights means little - just ask Columbus.
Oh cool, it's the rush to proclaim ourselves lower than dirt because we can't handle the possibility of being disappointed part of the season!
Maybe I'm being over optimistic, but I feel like he could start racking up numbers when he hits his stride.
I saw this on twitter too.. and was baffled by it. What is he talking about?
To the Jarry deSmith comparisons... I think Jarry makes everything look scrambly and hectic similar to fleury. I personally don't like that style of goaltending and prefer the non-flashy positional players.
