Wow, have you gone down hill or just band wagon jumping? Stick with the kings man, soon as they find a real coach and stop giving up on thier good goalies (thanks for Garon btw Kings organization) they should be a decent team. They have some pretty good talents coming up.
The sharks and the ducks? The sharks may have a chance this year to go to the final, ift hey choke as per usual, I expect that team will be dismantled a bit. The ducks are not what they were last year and there are too many teams who improved this year that I don;t expect the ducks to be in the final. But you never know, the playoffs are a completely different style of play and they may get it together.
Yeah, the South East is a joke, but you look at the division Detroit is in and it’s a joke too. Detroit gets so many easy points against the likes of Chicago, St.Louis and Columbus.
As for the tuffest division, I would say the North West is. 4 teams currently in the playoffs with the 5th (sadly my team) 3 points out of 7th.
I can’t wait for a more balanced schedule. 2010 I hear is when the balance schedule should be in, but it may be 84 games.
