FAN COMMENT
If fans step back and look from an unbias perspective, they would realize that they have a very good shot this year. Tortarella's style of play is exhausting! To do that for 100 games is insanely difficult, which probably played a part in falling short last year. However, a shortened season with that style of play might be exactly what NYR needs.
Could they get bumped int the first round? Certainly; it's the NHL. But as far as preseason speculation goes, they have to be considered a top contender.
Unfortunately, I think the Devs will have a tough time moving past the loss of Parise. I am afraid that the impact of that loss will soon be felt.
