New York Notables: Status Quo

All that matters is point total/standings. We all learned the lessons of December 2014 were not enough come playoff time.

2014-15 is long gone, this team has a different personality, better in some ways/worse in others.

6-0-2 is very nice (necessary/must continue to remain in mix) I see some signs that tells me this team is attempting to convert to a defensive strategy like many of the divisional counterparts where they have low maintenance 2-1 wins, but it's been more about the goaltending than the team defense.

And the goalies are paid to steal a few which Halak did in Philadelphia, who are playing well.
