I hate that is so tough to get out of the west. Van was a mess in the end last year. The teams in the west just beat the living sh!t out of each other. So who knows what will happen.

So true, considering it's March and 13 teams have a legit shot at making the playoffs

Dang....

No Love for Buffalo making it into the 8th spot??

Look at FLA and WPG's remaining schedules. THEY ARE NOT easy. FLA has 8 playoff teams out 12 games. and WPG has I think 9 in 15 games.

And what is up with the random Hurricanes finish in 10th spot??

EFF The SEN'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not they wont! The leafs suck.. They do not have the goalie to make that kind of push or even the scoring firepower either.

they just dont suck as much as the sabres, right?

Buff is 5 points back, have 12 of their final 19 games on the road, including 6 on the road against legit Cup contenders (Bos, Phi, Van, SJ, and NYR). I don't see them making up 5 points in this age of 3 points games.

this is based more on realism than on your fantasy...........ek got one right

If the Blues take 1st away from the Canucks then it will be a total choke job from Vancouver. They probably have the easiest schedule in the league remaining.

....wow...Lupul better than Spezza. Now I've heard everything.

Is there anything better than Montreal fans having such a crappy team that they have nothing to root for other than the Oilers making a dumb decision and passing on the 2nd best player in the draft? I am usually not one to revel in the misery of others, but I must make an exception for an entire fan base that truly, but incorrectly, believes the hockey world starts and stops with them.

Enjoy the good times old friend.
Say it and say it loud!!!
Boston are the Champs and all the glory belongs to the Bruins.

But hear me Great Bear... the "bleu,blanc,rouge" will come back and avenge those hard years of supremacy you are enjoying.

Habs vs Bruins is history at its best!

I choose option #2 and draft higher. So interest in making the playoffs so I can watch 4 extra games.

Top 8 in the East:

1. Rangers
2. Bruins
3. Florida
4. Penguins
5. Flyers
6. Senators
7. Devils
8. Washington

Who the Frank cares about the west?

Rangers beat Washington
Bruins beat Devils
Senators beat Florida
Penguins beat Flyers

Rangers beat Senators
Penguins beat Bruins

Penguins beat Rangers

Personally, i want the Penguins to fall down to the 6th seed. Much easier path IMO.

east:

1 - NYR
2 - Boston
3 - Wash
4 - New Jersey
5 - Pits
6 - Philly
7 - Ottawa
8 - Florida

west:

1 - Detroit
2 - Nucks
3 - San Jose
4 - St. Louis
5 - Phoenix
6 - Nashville
7 - Dallas
8 - L.A.

I asked him multiple times if he would trade Lupul for Ovechkin ...he wouldn't give me an answer...so he either wouldn't do it or he just really has to think about it

lupol is elite, top 10 player in the league, sure its only based on this year but woooooo

spezza apparently is cancer and im sure soon we will hear karlsson is too

you guys have given the rangers some problems..........if you make the playoffs you never know

(trying to be the optimist)

- ghostibator

no. why? we beat them in Feb. without Crosby. it will be a heck of a series and it could go either way, but the Penguins are just as good as the Bruins without Crosby.
