Hard to argue. I thought their puck movement last season was good, I felt it was even better so far this season. Everything about them seems smoother this year. I think being settled into Lav's system for a year has helped and they are completely bought in and comfortable.

I mean you can call it what it is: it’s a very elite team who has spent multiple years together and who read each other and off each other extremely well.

[Ozzy]

We rock!! 

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Would rather be best shooting team, but this is a good #2.

 

Are there any forwards or D's better at passing than Panarin and Fox at the moment? Can't be many.

[Kick save and a beauty]

It is all Mancini boys.

 

Only 99% kidding here.

This core has been practicing passing for like 6 years now!

6 years?

 

the #1 chant at MSG for the last 2 decades has been “SHOOT!”

Passing on the opportunity to excel in the playoffs?

The team finally learned how to pass

[Rangers]

I dont think we ever had problems passing, we always had issues shooting

[L'albatros]

Some passers are better than others

[Ozzy]

wait!!!   ....we shoot???  Since when???

[RJWantsTheCup]

If you’re always reluctant to shooting you better be good at passing.

He got on my nerves sometimes, but I'd take him over Ray Ferraro any day and twice on Sunday.

Yeah, you're probably right.

UPDATE: They are also good at scoring, and are at the top of the league in goals for.

Pierre McGuire? I had to double check no one had bumped a thread from 2011.

Question though is if it will translate to successful playoff hockey.

There's less open ice once the tournament begins.  First round maybe not a lot less but by the ECF a *lot* less.

It's October. Unfortunately we can't fast forward to April. Just sit back and enjoy the show.
