Their forward depth is actually quite impressive. A lot of jam in there, with some sharp russian filet.
Their top 4 is young and talented, and if they take a step forward in their development, could be dominant.
Their goaltending is on the verge of elite.
If their coaching staff can put it all together this year, I could see them battling for top seed in the division.
Welcome the rivalry.
(They could acutally really use a guy like Niskanen, but that won't happen.)
Maybe instead of thinking this is me, maybe Sweaty Teddy is actually PCM?
"owner Ted Leonsis gave several interviews, including one with ESPN 980′s “Inside the Locker Room.” He was understandably bullish on his team’s chances.
“We played three kids,” Leonsis said, talking about Washington’s first game of the season. “People talk about how the team is aging. We have the eighth-youngest team in the league. I like when we interject some of the new kids into the lineup….We’re healthy, and my expectation is that this is the deepest team since I’ve owned the team. I don’t see any weaknesses, and I see that we’re prepared for injury. I mean, that’s one of the things in sports that sometimes we under estimate: injuries happen, your second-line guy, your third-line guy.
“This team, I think, is prepared now; if we have any injuries we can slot people in. I think there will be no excuses. We should have a good year. We’re playing in a much tougher division. I also am happy about that. I think that if it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger, and that if every night is competitive and tough — or tougher than previous seasons — that should be good for us.”
