It’s all smoke & mirrors with these losers, and their schedule down the stretch looks like it’s gonna be a rough ride.

We say this every year but then they get to the playoff with 2 of the top 5 scorers in the NHL and the two of them go nuclear.
Extra off days and playing 27 mins a night against the Pacific Division (potentially) it wouldn't surprise me to see McDavid and Drais drag them to the conference finals again.
