Looking at the opponents, I'm just not buying the softest schedule in the league bit.
VAN x 2, ANA, Chi, SJ and Detroit. 60% of the games against Top 5 teams in the conference is not the softest sked in the league. That's not opinion.

The fact is they have played the least amount of games, and regardless of opponent which included a non playoff team in Anaheim one that barely got in San Jose we started off poorly. I'm sure the break in schedule hampered our hot start to the season. No excuses, this team just doesn't put in the effort and willingness to win like others do.
Unless we start to put together some big streaks, we will be picking top 5 in June.
