If they somehow manage to avoid a lengthy McDavid injury here and manage to get into the dance again, it's going to be an absolute slugfest as a lower seed and don't see this rag tag group being carried by 2 all stars again.
Also continuing to pin your hopes on a goaltending tandem of Skinner/Pickard is just nonsensical and no good.
