You do realize that this team is 4 points fropm being out of the wildcard spot right. It is far too early to get comfortable Especially with Colorado having having 3 games in hand. The team has had a great run of late which is great and Duchene and Johansen have looked like real million dollar players. Could this be Hynes Hmmmmmm maybe. The young guys have been young guys good spurts followed by games where they need to be better. Im pleased with Jeannot and concerned for Tolvanan who I expected to be a 40 point guy. In new Saros has been servicable 15 wins in 24 starts but we are not half way I keep waiting for that slump period he goes thru every year can he avoid that maybe. He better because Rittich is hot garbage, many of the goals hes has allowed have been uber soft its not unlike me watching the back up for Tampa Elliott has been just as bad. As you know I also support XColoradr and both there tenders have been suspect this year if not and short of COVID misses they would be burying the division as it is they have 5 players better than a point per game.
Maybe we will get to see the last 50 games and get a real feel where all the NHL teams are but I doubt it. Yesterday Canada restricted border crossing to having a 72 hour test before entry. I am affrasid were in for another 60 game season. And I dispise that there is enough guff about Tampa not deserving back to back I wanted this season to go off for a threepete to shut a lot of people up. It does not matter that they are leading the league in points without there two best players butr we will see.
As to Hynes I still think he is a pitiful coach and Poile has ran past his shelf life by a lot.
