Did someone out there request some 1980s Japanese fusion? I thought so.
After spending most of the postseason being uncharacteristically optimistic about a team that still doesn’t quite know why it started Thomas Harley for a game during the round robin, I’ve finally had a chance to take a breath, step back, and re-assess what this team actually is, and ought to be, going forward.
The answer? Well, I’m not here to be coy. This team is probably going to look like the best team in the NHL for another 20-game stretch at some point next year, if everyone stays healthy.
