"Tampa Bays 14-5 start should come as no surprise as they boast the most talented young line up in the East."

BS! Are you serious with that? Yeah, they'll be really good in a few years when their end-run around the entire league for draft capital in S47 pans out, but jesus christ this team is 100ccs of pure surprise and luck. Joseph Gagnier and Michael Owens on defense is a yikes, neither would even be 7th defensemen on some teams, let alone getting actual ice time. They're rolling Nolan Sawchuk on the top line a good 3 seasons early, they have a 3rd line center somehow coming close to leading the team in scoring, and even their 2nd defense pair is below standard but hasn't been fully exposed yet. Not to mention you can't even pin all the success on Benjamin Blue, one of the few guys on this team that has talent matching up to his role. Benjamin's just having an ok year (.917 save %, 2.80 GAA), and not carrying the team or anything.

The only explanation for this team is Game Sharks abounding, theres just no other way. In five years, yeah them being a great team would make sense if everyone pans out, but right now, they should be owning the basement suite currently rented out to Manhattan.
