People also act like the team never lost a game with Gaudreau/Tkachuk

Short memories I guess, that old core had a great regular season last year but as recently as the year before totally choked and couldn't beat the Sens to get in the playoffs.

In Gaudreau's 8 seasons 5 playoff wins is the best they did...it's certainly possible this core does better than that.

Vezina Markstrom and no injuries last season is as big a factor as anything.

They blew a point last night for sure

6-2-2 in their last 10

People can be pissed if they want but comments like "this isn't a playoff team" and they were "dominated in HD chances" probably should be called out. This game didn't decide their playoff fate and they certainly were not dominated in HD chances.

Nobody is going to argue that they are finishing enough but to say they aren't getting the HD looks is wrong because they certainly are.

They have also been playing over .600 hockey since December, despite losing a point things seem to be going in the right direction
