Think they gotta win a round or two first. And likely knock off TB before they get the Cup, the Parade & the Ring-Blings...
Think Wsh Caps history lesson first....


Yes

Maybe, I just think they’re so deep this season. They can play any style, similar to Tampa bay last season. I think they can beat any team in a 7 game series

Hajek is indeed a good prospect for future.

Certainly him+2nd should be worth Pavelski.

Lightning vs. Stars. Let's do it EsoYeezus69 justaboss


I'm not even going to watch. I'm bummed out by their latest performances. I'll watch them again when they actually win someone who isn't trash. Until then there's no point for me to punish myself.

Goaltending is like the only question mark in that team, Which is quite ironic considering they signed Bob as a Vezina-winning star goalie able to play 60+ games a season at a very good rate.

@mcgruff

I think Colorado, Tampa, Vegas, and Carolina when fully healthy are probably on the same level as Florida.
Calgary, Boston, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Washington depending on what they add at the TDL, (most are 1 piece away I think)

Edmonton if they get Fluery is in contention.

Was 3-1 Leafs after 20 minutes, now it's 3-3 not 5 minutes into the 2nd. Blues must've just said to each other in the locker room "Guys, relax, I know we're down 3-1, but it's the Leafs". Poor Dangle.

Serious question, is Huberdeau the best winger in the NHL?

He's clearly the hottest one, but actually speaking how many wingers are clearly better than him right now.

I’m very happy I traded for him in fantasy. Also can someone explain the New York post joke. I don’t get it

I agree, they look ready and will be in the top 3-4 teams to win it all.

However, the biggest impediment is the "never been there factor" that is soooo much the history of the NHL...

Compete hard but lose. Get to late rounds and get ur a s s handed to you first is the NHL-path; usually...

I put COL ahead of FLA in the next up category because they have been just a wee bit closer and have learned the tough playoff lessons...

That’s it. That’s the note. I don’t care that the game isn’t over yet, they’re not winning this game.

He's right up there. Marchand on a good day maybe? Kucherov.
And of course Ovi is top points ahead of him points wise on (arguably) a worse team

You could make the case for Kuch (who's been injured for the entire year), and maybe Marchand also. But right now, he's making that a heck of a tough argument.

Ovi, Marchand and Kucherov are probably clearly better IMO. Other than that, he's the same tier as Kaprizov, Panarin, Rantenan and Landeskog.

Yeah, I'd give a case for maybe 2-3, maybe four wingers on being better than Huberdeau.

Still think Kucherov's number one, but the likes of Panarin, Marchand and Ovechkin very much equal to Hubby imo.

There is a four way tie for 1st in points. I recommend screenshoting this historic moment. Also one of those guys is 36. I said that before

Martin St.Louis was like 38 or 39 when he won Art Ross in 2013.

Here's to hoping he can keep this up for the next few years.
