This team has shown an innate ability to gather steam the more it plays over the last 12 months. There is no reason to think they will not do the same thing again.

I agree with everything you said except that lots of teams can go over .600 for the year. Last year 11 teams did, and Calgary was .573 (this is off of points and not W/L because that's all NHL.com gives me).
ETA: Just going on W/L, 4 teams were over .600.
