Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 3697664, member: 474"] this grouping of teams is turning out to be pretty interesting. the canadian teams are gonna like it because they will only have to beat 1 other team to get to the stanley cup the pitt/flyers/isles/wash/bruins division is gonna be brutal just to get to the 4 playoff teams and that ignores rangers/devils/sabres the west will be probably be vegas/col/stl/minn the central tampa/colum/ then who knows the north montr/toronto/winn/calgary pts are really huge because the most reg. season pts gets you the lowest pt team in the final 4 series. if you assume the east has the best teams they probably dont get the most pts but will they beat each other up and get the 4th most? you might avoid them to the finals or not? who knows. we may have people in the stands at the end which could also be huge.
