That was the most Homer response you could have fielded.

You expect to win top spot in the West with the 21st leading scorer and the 13th leading goal getter?

Look at the competition of Minnesota, they are the team to beat in the West. Straight up in Goals and Points they get consistent point production from their line up, but most especially from their top scorers. Minnesota's top line combined for 220 Points this season. New Orleans top line barely cracked 130. Further to that how many games did your goalie steal for you? At least 4 confirmed because he posted 4 shutouts which is tied for most in the league. New Orleans has a hot goalie but lacks the offence.

I am not denying New Orleans has performed well for an expansion team but lets not pretend like they are the team to beat, after all you don't make friends with salad.

BS on your BS!

New Orleans has made the trade for lundberg at the trade deadline to help fix their depth, and their team has a lot more depth than Minnisota. Lets not pretend that just because Minnisota has a really good 1st line it doesnt mean that their whole team is good. Their defense in terms of TPE is not that good, and their Goalie is alright at best. The reason they have been winning is that their 1st line has been killing it in points. If someone can shutdown their 1st line then they will get beat. A well rounded team is better than a good 1st line and that about it.

BS³
Results speak for themselves. Minnesota has shown they can win and no one in the league has been able to shut down their juggernaut scoring. If you give them even so much as an inch they will take a mile. The only power horse NOR has going for it that might shut down Minnesota is their goaltending.
