Fear is the mind-killer.
I wonder how many are still in the "we're not a true contender" camp because we still need another Dman or need two more Dmen or need a couple more forwards who are physical or need to win a round first or whatever else. I'm not saying we're the cup favourites or anything but as I've said from the start of the season, if some other team would be favoured against us the gap so small there may as well not be one. There is a group of elite teams at the top and IMHO, there's no question that we're one of them.
This could be the year ...
We're a contender, but I am in the camp that we need to lower our chances against before I feel good about beating Tampa or Boston. A good dman would definitely help there.
Maybe we can trade chances and win, though.
