I voted a reluctant yes. I think this team has vastly underperformed this year yet still has a respectable record.
I think a lot of why it feels like they aren’t playing well is because they haven’t put together a 5 or 6 game win streak yet. It’s been win two, lose one, win two, lose two in OT, win one, lose another in OT, win two, lose one (not accurate, just how it feels).
So while it feels like they can’t string together 3 or more wins in a row they’re still getting points.
Seattle reminds me a lot of the 2015 Flames. I keep waiting for them to fall off but I think they likely make it in. I think the Flames or Oilers will overtake the Kings with the other taking the last wildcard spot.
