season is not indicative of what this team really is. The knights are much, much better than they were during the season. For example, since hertl entered the line up, they were something like 9-17 on the power play before last knight. 53%. Small sample size for sure, but there is no doubt that the power play (and kill) are much better than they were during the season. So you can't take the regular season into account with this team, they are a different team now and the will get better the longer they can play together. Cup favorites for sure.
