Please explain...how are they mediocre?

You know the no good Edmonton Oilers? ya those guys that usually allow 40 shots a game? The mediocre Panthers had 14 shots on net against them! Mediocrity beat the no good.
Yes that division where the best player in the league had the Habs atop the standings before he got hurt. Lightning who have had injury isssues/Stamkos contract/Drouin trade request to deal with.
In the end if you barely beat the no good oilers and put up 14 shots on them? you are a mediocre team. No other way around it.
ps - I also like how you say "They're the absolute best team in the league defensively" when Caps have allowed 2 less goals in 1 less game. Also the Kings are tied for goals against having played 1 less game. So they're good defensively, thanks to Lou but they're not absolutely the best team defensively.
