Yeah, the Knights were built like the Wild of yesteryear with endless energy, but finally got some first line talent in Eichel and a few guys have developed... and there was also a huge difference in the offensive zone this year.
They used to be as bad or worst than the Leafs when it comes to a structured offense, yet didn't have the same level of talent to score any more than junk/puck luck goals.
They were actually fun to watch this year and their transition game against the Panthers was on point.
I would have liked to see them against better teams in the past month, but you take that fortune 10 times out of 10 when going on a run, and there are no easy outs.
