The Metro looks really winnable this year. Canes don't look the greatest and Andersen just went down for them, Isles are legit the scariest team so far besides us, Flyers don't score enough to keep up with the other teams but Hart looks amazing in the Torts defensive shell, Rangers look iffy right now, Pens and Caps are dealing with their own issues whether or it's injuries or just being bad.
Isles look good ? I’ve only watched them against us and the first two periods against the flames Amd I didn’t think they were anything special ?
I won’t count the Pens or Caps out until they are mathematically eliminated .
Canes are too deep to fall out of the top 3 in the Metro.
Flyers are shit and will crash back down to earth eventually.
Jackets are no where close to good.
Rags for now look mediocre but if Sheshterkin activates god mode and some of their one-dimensional grease balls get hot , I can see them anywhere from 1st -6th in the metro.
Out of all the Metro teams, Canes and Rags are the only teams that I would say can be argued have a lineup as good or better than us, but mainly their goaltending only is better IMO.
I like our skaters better than any team in the east.
