Im not saying we are terrible, I like the young guns and obviously Johnny is a franchise player, but after this road trip I think its easy to see the difference between a real playoff team (Pitts, Chicago, LA, San Jose) and us. We are still years away from being a real contender.

Our goalies won us most games in the first 10 games of the year. Since then they have been average to slightly above average. For the most part we played toe to toe with Pitt Chi and SJ, and we didn't even play LA, so really not sure what you're talking about. Clearly we're not Stanley Cup contenders but we have been playing with the big boys and are possibly a playoff team in a tough division/conference in year 2 of a rebuild.
