If only we played Colorado, Tampa Bay, Vegas, Dallas, Vancouver 2x, .... all the time and didn't play those other games. By the same token, if we exclude all the losses this team has, it's undefeated.Wins against Colorado, Tampa Bay, Vegas, Dallas, Vancouver 2x, Carolina, New York Rangers, Los Angeles, and Edmonton this season but yes, go on...
Yes, this team can look really good. It can also look like fresh dogshit, as the 1st period showed. Put it all together, and this is not a 100-point team unless you're prorating 17-10-1 over 82 games, which is misleading because the team is 12-10-6 through regulation which is a better indicator of what it really is: a slightly above average team, which is really riding Thomas (9-29-38), Kyrou (14-14-28), Buchnevich (13-12-25) and Binnington standing on his head most nights, where the only other guys who have played at a 20-goal or 40-point pace have been Krug (1-16-17).
