Let's Win It All
I have left off from making a thread like this until things became official but I believe now is time for this bad boy to come out.
Through our stretch run, we have seen glimpses of brilliant clutch performances by almost everyone on this roster and I believe that is more of a testament to the make up of this team that it is of just a very good and convenient run that just fell perfectly in place.
Ottawa, IMO, has the right personnel of players in their current roster that could surprise and win more than a playoff round. Perhaps resembling the Devils roster that made cup finals 3 years ago.
Condra-Pageau-Lazar as brilliant as they've been, IMO, still contain an extra gear that could be even better, like we seen them display that in 2012-2013. I think Lazar is the type of player who all of a sudden wouldnt be surprising to lead our team in goals at the end of the playoffs.
Boro, Gryba will make things hell for whoever we play. Turris, Mac and Ryan have clutch displays in their resumes.
This is were Boro will show his worth the most. Legwand too.
Karlsson and Methot as well. Stone and Hoffman should be a feast.
These are the playoffs were guys like Legwand become heros. Chiasson even.
tl;dr i feel like we have a good enough group where the majority of the players are built exactly and perfectly for the playoffs.
Oilers in 2005-2006 essentially.
I'm just so excited guys. With a hot goaltender and depth scoring like we've had, anything can happen. I've never felt this confident going into the playoffs since the year we made finals.
If there was one major weakness we might not be able to overcome, it might be that 2nd pairing not having top ability or depth, mainly Wiercioch. I feel confident in Ceci. And also 3rd pairing's lack of mobility and vision but then again i feel the playoff's clutch and grab and physicality could make them much better and freer to get away with many plays.
