Surprising ...
- Team finishing despite not getting lion's share of chances
- Defense much better at transitioning the puck than I expected
- Depth on the blueline looks deeper than anyone thought
Honestly happy as hell, and when they are playing tight gaps they dominate against teams as the opposition can't get up the ice.
But do feel a correction is likely in order towards the 93-35 point team that they should be.

This is still the biggest worry.
Mangiapane and Lindholm can't keep up this pace forever...need to get others finishing for when those two dry up.
