If I was forced to pick a yes or no, I'd take no. They haven't played the strongest teams yet and their goaltending is likely to revert down towards the NHL average at some point.
That said, I'm very happy with how the team has played - especially given the injuries and the large number of road games to start the season. The young forwards are making more of an impact than I expected them to make this year.
And Brodano has been just sick so far. I'd expect them to tail off a bit as well - maintaining the pace they're on seems tough. But who knows.
