I found these 2 comments to stand out; I think there was a period of time where I know some people here believed in something other then this - and I would agree with what Treliving said here. You can point to Johnny or Monahan or any number of things, but (as 2nd bullet says) - the margin really comes down to 3 players - Hiller/Ramo, Giordano, Brodie (ok I counted our goaltenders as a single entity). Its great Bob got everyone on the same page and our young forwards are far exceeding expectations (and our scoring is at an incredible pace), but our goaltending and top pairing defenseman is the margin for us IMO.
