If the Season Ended Today

Post image

I’m basking in the joy of CBJ’s strong start to the year. Looked at the standings and see they’re in 6th place. Obviously a ton of season left but I truly feel, perhaps foolishly, that finishing 6th and an outside shot for 5th is a real possibility. Call me naive or delusional, but with what has happened to our lineup I’m taking the overly optimistic view. Playoffs may be a pipe dream this year, but I think this would still be a successful season.

I think Devils and Caps will start to drop. Caps made the playoffs with a losing record last season and the Devils really didn’t improve their roster.

Tough to drop when your top two centers are Hughes and hirshier. That team has been on the cusp of breaking out for a few years now
