Yes, Columbus must be absolutely devastated they lost 25 point Karlsson, or Pittsburgh losing their washed up, overpaid backup goalie that most Flames fans hoped we would stay away from
Face it, the picks were bad, the players were bad, they were predicted to finish in the basement. For the most part they are playing out of their minds and shattered their career highs, mainly from rallying and bonding together during a tragedy.
Guarantee they won't be in the finals again for years and no expansion will ever have a run like this again
