Portland lost there two best defenders, and there coach.. This is probably the best Rockets roster we have seen in a long time. Ive seen them play twice this year.. sometimes they play down to there opponents but always reel themselves in.. They have amazingly clean breakouts.. and Lambert rolls all 4 lines.. Merkley and Chartier are just nuts... Like Chartier had 4 goals in the 2 games i saw him play.. and Merkley is going to be an NHL stud....
I think this is the year we topple Portland, but I think Everett could dispatch of them early though
