Yes, they should be fine. They beat out the Sharks and Kings last season for a playoff spot, no reason they cant do it again a year later with an even stronger team. I expect them to finish 2nd in the Pacific, behind the Ducks.
Its hard to say since the season is quite long and sometimes a single trade can make a difference for any team.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
