I don’t think the team is better than last year but I think enough teams in the east are falling off that we are still in a better position than most of the east. Tampa looks like they’re coming back to reality. Florida is good but I don’t see a team that better than what they had last year. Boston is obviously on a tear and I’ll never be confident against them in a playoff series but eventually this insane streak of theirs will end. NJ is amazing but teams that young usually don’t get it done in the postseason. I’m still cautious about facing Carolina because they’re such a tough team to break down. The Rangers might be a little more manageable this year. Pittsburgh and Washington are finally meeting Father Time. Overall I’m happy but this still isn’t the 1993 team just yet.
