Those are false equivalencies of comparison you’re using about injuries. I said Crosby and malkin. I said NYI top four defence and their top PWF. Ottawa didn’t have their top center and top goal scorer who owned the flames last year.
If we were missing OK, tanev, Rasmus and hanifin. Maybe. If it were lindy and Johnny? Maybe but your comparisons were our depth players.

Sens were missing Batherson, still had Stutzle, Tkachuk, Norris, Ennis, Chabot. Isles were missing D but they still had Chara, Dobson, and all their top forwards.
Like I said, you take your opponent as you find them. Those same Isles beat Florida the game before. The same Sens beat Pittsburgh the game before, 6-3.
