They were 8-2-1 or something vs. the Pens the past 2 years, and have now won all 6 games at their new arena.
I don't really know what to make of them since Bryz is so schizo, but he's also been the hottest goaltender in the league for the past month.
If Bryz stays hot they have most of the ingredients of a Cup contender:
1. Ton of depth, featuring the league's No. 3 offense yet only 1 player who had over 30 goals.
2. Legit superstar in Giroux.
3. Proven veteran playoff performers (Jagr, Briere).
4. Kids maturing at the right time (Schenn, Couturier)
5. Several players remaining from Finals team of 2 years ago.
They're not one of the top 5 teams in the league and maybe not one of the top 10, but seems like a team that could make a lot of noise.
I think people are sleeping on the Rangers, too.
