They're not contenders though, neither is Dallas or Fla. Nashville in on the line. Rags, Bs, Pitt, Van, Det., STL, the others are a tier below.

Ok...Then the Hawks too.

We're talking about playing in the top 6. And we have to eliminate their number 1 centres as well that changes everything.

You eliminated #1 centres on a couple of teams, not me.

I'd be surprised if they didn't make the POs but its not an impossibility...hardly the mark of a contender.

I also remember people everywhere saying they would have trouble winning the cup with the superstar duo of Niemi and Huet.

The idea that a Stanley Cup winner has to have the best GTing is especially ripe in Hab fans minds because without it we are looking at 30 years instead of 20.
