That record absolutely does not convince me of a damn thing. All I need to do is watch how many times the team comes out flat, gets hemmed in their zone, transitions with the speed of a sloth on Xanax, gets hugely outchanced, and overly relies on comebacks and OT/shootouts to claim wins. And that doesn’t even count line combinations so weird that the players themselves have to come forward and ask for them to be fixed. It’s easily possible for a team to have a winning record while playing at a fraction of their roster potential. This is one of those instances.
