The one team that was built to beat them. The only thing that makes us look like last years senators this year is that we are unstoppable early. I fail to see how thats not a good thing? Not every team that starts good is destined to fail in the playoffs.
ya, well, they didn't win the cup last year, they were eliminated by the same team that eliminated the habs...so it really doesn't matter. they do look good this year, but, unless they go all the way, does it matter where they finish?
even if they had come within a goal of winning the cup...if they don't bring home the prize...does it matter? i dunno, that's just my opinion, it's all or nothin' for me...being eliminated in any round is equally painful...
