I would argue that this might be our third best statistical season. In 1987-1988 they won the presidents trophy with 105 points in 80 games with 9 ties. If that team played 82 games and had 3 on 3 OT and shootouts to decide those tie games they probably finish with more than this year's tally of 111 points. Incidentally that season was a bust because despite winning the first round against the Kings they got swept by the Oilers in the second round
.
Given they won the division this year in the regular season, it makes sense that the expectation line is that they do the same in the playoffs and make the 3rd round.
