Way back many many many, like four, seasons ago when we sucked, we relied on the 6 points in 5 games system as a threshold for playoffs.
Nobody’s even talking about that anymore… but so far in 9 games that’s pretty much the pace we’re on, just slightly better.
But that’s ok because that’s while Tkachuk’s been Stone’d and Barky’s been Kuch’ed. And our D is still learning the ropes (noting though that Kulikov is playing like the all star we knew he always was and Ek is playing for his next contract he hopes will be more than a very small number of millions per year). And Mo hasn’t even thrown any tantrums yet.
All in all, nobody needs a crystal ball to see that we’re winning a second Cup this season. I mean it’s sort of obvious and therefore a bit boring but I’ll take it.
