The biggest thing that pushes me towards "yes" is the way we've played against a lot of top teams. Against the top 10 teams in the league (excluding us):
- Haven't played Tampa
- 1-0-0 against Toronto
- 1-1-0 against Nashville
- 2-0-0 against Colorado
- 1-0-0 against Buffalo
- 1-0-0 against Winnipeg
- 0-0-1 against Washington
- 0-1-0 against Anaheim
- Haven't played Columbus
- 1-0-0 against Boston
That's a combined record of 7-2-1 against the best teams in the league. And it's not like we've been pulling out miracle wins despite getting outplayed - a lot of those are dominant victories where we were clearly the better team.
