I agree re expectations, but this is not that unrealistic. I maintain that this isn't a bad hockey team, it's a playoff hockey team with horrible goaltending.

Defensively they still have gaffes but less than the tire fire that was the first 1.5 months of the season. I simply don't see a fix for the goaltending as Ramo has elevated his game from horrific to his normal which is below average goaltender. I still cringe every time a team takes a bad angle shot and he goes down with his pad in the same position that cost them points against the Jets early in the season. He's a good reactionary goaltender but the rest of his game including his positional play is poor.
