I shouldn't read article comments. It's just not fun. In this installment, we aren't actually that good since Ottawa took us to 7 games.
Their game 6 win and game 1 win were juuuust about the least legitimate outcomes to any sporting event ever played.
But also...who (besides Washington) could possibly have been described as a better team last year? There really was no one even close. And this year, we're (I think) objectively better than Washington going into the year. So f*** yeah why not a 3 peat?
