I don’t know, there is the saying anything can happen once you make the playoffs. This 2019 team makes me believe that. I’m not expecting a cup this year but I can’t help but be optimistic if we can stay healthy that anything is possible.
We may not have the top goal scoring the 2011 team had (especially on the PP) but if Markstrom continues being this amazing all year, I would argue we didn’t have THAT kind of solid goaltending constantly through the playoffs. A hot goalie is game changing. Quick on the Kings cup run as an example.
***edit*** Also regarding some depth, have to add in that we may get Tryamkin back for a playoff run and it’s hard to argue that his size, strength and reach wouldn’t be beneficial for the usual playoff grind.
