It's great to be entertained by our team with the effort and pace of play once again, but fans really need to slow down if they are ready to proclaim this team and core fixed at this point. Goals are not going to keep flying from Lindholm and Mangiapane (who have been shooting 35% thus far and account for half of the teams goals) and Markstrom certainly is not going to notch 15 shut outs either.
Frankly, the early results are nice but I don't really care about it unless this level of effort and play continues each and every night for the next several weeks. You can't just whitewash the majority of the last 6 seasons where this team falls flat after just 8 games.
