With about 30% of the season played, here are the top-3 teams who have surprised me the MOST.
Clearly better than I expected (I didn’t think they’d be above 0.700):
Washington
Winnipeg
Minnesota
Clearly worse than I expected (I didn’t think they’d be below 0.500):
Nashville
Pittsburgh
Ottawa

Minnesota has done a great job at drafting and building a strong team internally. They nail the draft every single year. The Faber trade was also huge for them. I thought Winnipeg would be a playoff team, but not this good, but they are starting to slip. Obviously, you can't stay that hot all season. But they have a lot of depth and 4 good lines. The PLD trade set them up nicely. Guys like Perfetti and Heinola also coming into their own.
Washington is the biggest surprise. McClellan has done a great job there the last few years. Another strong drafting team, and Chychrun for Jensen was a massive upgrade for them. Of course, Ovi having a resurgence helps.

Mason Marchment with a pretty cool goal.
Also surprised to see he has the 2nd most points on Dallas with 24 points in 22 games. Is on track to have a season comparable to his 2021-22 campaign with us, good for him.

It will be hilarious when those 4 nation idiots choose a lot of our roster to add miles to those legs
Barky, Lundy, Lousty, and Mikkola
Chucky
Forsling
Reinhart and Verhaeghe with Ekky and Bennett invited to be extras
Half the line up pretty much

I miss Marchment so much. He was built for this team. Yandle can lick my sack.

Shesterkin looks really shaky again tonight. Rangers could be in serious trouble.

Shesty, Vasy and Fourgoalski have all looked off this season… elite Russian Gs taking a few months off?
Would be funny if he settles for less than the 90 mill he was offered in the summer

caught the intermission and valiquette was commenting that since we beat them, they are the worst defensive team in the league by a good margin. said shesterkin "looked lost" and wouldn't be surprised if he was pulled in the 3rd. of course, he looks lost because the team isn't playing in front of him. he's gone from the best goalie on the planet in october to trash in november.

Amazing that relying on special teams and otherworldly goaltending isn't sustainable.
