I don't think this warrants it's own thread, but am I the only one that thinks this team is going to fall back to earth a bit? I know they have been really good so far, but they are scoring much more than most people would expect from this lineup. The offense from the blueline has been a huge part of the teams success and they are getting scoring throughout their lineup. I'm not saying this is not a playoff team, but I think they will be closer to the wildcard teams than the division leader as the season winds down.
If they get back to playing the defensive style we've seen this team play the past couple of years then I think they can keep winning, but right now I don't see the defensive lapses holding up over the course of the full (long) season.
I didn't follow the Stars when Tip was there, but I do recall there was the season where the team was one of the higher scoring teams in the league and everyone was marveling at how a team like that could be scoring like they were. Are we experiencing a repeat of that now? I think that was a year a lot of Stars had career years offensively so it made sense at the time. I'm curious if they were actually poorer defensively than you would expect from a Tip team, kind of like the Coyotes this year.
