I'm making a prediction.We're winning it all this year.It's been 23 years since we won in 1993, years after years of hopelessness or false hopes.
We've been conditioned to expect everything to collapse as soon as things start to go well.Last year was fun on that "meta-level", since it justified that conditioning we feel inside of us.No more.
This year the Stanley Cup is coming back home.
Except Markov (and to some extent Beaulieu), every core player is near the peak of their powers.The league is also weak.Look at the teams, most are in development or tired from past-glory.The road is wide open.Tampa Bay is a threat, and maybe LA.
Assume for a second we make it to the Finals.Which Western team can beat a healthy Carey Price who just won three straight series? None.
Carey Price is beyond dominant.I mean he "looks" dominant almost at first glance, and it's hard to judge the dominance of a goalie from a quick look unless he's playing like Dominik Hasek which is the opposite of Price's style.
25th.
