No. The Jets.
The Jets are absolutely not the best Canadian team.

As a team we weren’t playing a safe or patient game in the 3d period last night. It was turnover city both ways for several minutes before Sev’s gaffe. Ruff has responsibility too for our “go for broke” third period, as opposed to the controlled attack and “wait for them to make a mistake” approach against the Rangers.Feel indifferent on that Severson benching which seems like it's happening, there's plenty of blame to go on this L4 especially some of the defensemen who've been solid turning into brain dead players like Siegs/Hamliton. But eventually Severson has to learn how to play a safe game on the circumstances, he's too full throttle at all times.

I know you’re a David Rittich fan, but I really don’t think they’re the best team in Canada.No. The Jets.
How does a handful of mediocre games prove that the previous 25 were a fluke?Very disappointed. I guess they played over their heads.
Well of course not, they aren't even the best football team in their own city.The Jets are absolutely not the best Canadian team.
ESPN is hardly a legitimate information source.The most recent ESPN Power Rankings, whose insight you most appreciate, begs to differ with that as well as where we stand currently too.

god damn I just want Palat and Bastian back.
OK cool so give us an example of what is.ESPN is hardly a legitimate information source.
Perhaps you could tell us why you think Winnipeg is the best Canadian team when they're 5 points behind Toronto and 4 points up on the mighty Oilers?ESPN is hardly a legitimate information source.
How many other teams that have won at a .850 clips through the first 25 games have ever gone on the kind of "death spiral" people here are talking about? Like I could totally understand thinking maybe the team will be just average the rest of the way and only get in on a wild card spot or something, but the takes in here seem more along the lines of "I'm worried they are actually a bad team who will have a bad record for the rest of the season."I like this timeline where we're one of only three teams on 20 wins on December 16th and many of us are freaking the f*** out.
It was 2011-12. They won 20 of their first 30, then had 15 wins the rest of the season.How many other teams that have won at a .850 clips through the first 25 games have ever gone on the kind of "death spiral" people here are talking about?

The only team I can recall off the top of my head having a really good record for that long and then divebombing out of the playoff picture was the Minnesota Wild like in the early 2010's. I can't remember exactly what year it was but it was definitely before 2012 because Parise hadn't jumped ship to them yet.
What I’m saying is I’m tired of hearing how we’re the youngest team and the fastest team. Than on the other side, we were gassed or we got beat by the goalie. It’s incredible the excuses fans come up with for this team. Doomed? No. Just a bubble team with flaws starting to show themselves.So you're saying we're doomed, is that it?

I don't get it. Young and fast teams can't get gassed or stymied by a good goaltender?What I’m saying is I’m tired of hearing how we’re the youngest team and the fastest team.

Ah yes. I remember distinctively thinking to myself that team wasn't legit despite the start because their roster really wasn't that good. Looking it up now...their top scorer was a 30 year old Dany Heatley with just 24 goals and 53 points. That was the last time he'd score more than 20 in a season and he was out of the NHL three years later. Their next leading scorer was noted offensive superstar...Kyle Brodziak. LOL. They had zero legitimate top line players.That team only won CF% in 8 of those 30 games so there were signs that team wasn't great. Devils have won the CF% 24 times in 30 for some perspective.
