As we approach the quarter mark of the season, there have been a number of surprises this season. The strong play of New Jersey. Edmonton’s struggles. The Blackhawks inability to score goals. The Rangers winning six in a row after playing poorly out of the gate. Expectations have also been met, such as the Lightning being tops in the East.
Who do you think the best team is right now?
Da blues
Da Lightnin
Da Coyotes
Awoooooo!
Are they still in the league?
Da bears…
Da Nordiques
Right now I only see 3 legit Cup contenders.
Pens (and they need another center by the deadline or else they come off this list) Preds and Lightning.
This is what’s called a Hot Take.
How do you figure none of the other top teams are contenders?
Leafs are getting closer. Their forward depth is almost unmatched in the league but they need a top four defenseman to truly contend. Who’d a thunk it two years ago?
