I hope so.
If you look at the BlackHawks, they're not a "truculent" team but they're a damn good team.
The Lightning might still be the most potent team in the league period, and could very well beat the Ducks in the final.
Our biggest weakness last season wasn't being too small at forward, but that we couldn't get or sustain possession. Some of our worst possession players on the team are bigger guys like Colborne, Engelland, Bollig, and Bouma while some of our better possession players last season have been guys like Gaudreau, Byron, Jooris, and Backlund.
