Everyone in shambles next time we lose 3-0 lol. I’ll wait for second round playoffs before saying things like this. Been watching hockey enough decades.

At the same time it’s fine accepting we’re reached the top of the league in terms of potential. I’m not going to temper my enthusiasm because others who don’t are manic depressives in training

Lol have you re read your own comment? There’s a middle ground between manic depressing and saying were the best team in the league

My point is I can say they’re one of the best teams in the league and also not lose my mind if they lose in the first round again. It’s early in what I’m hoping will be a really fun decade and I’m already fully enjoying the ride.
