Eklund: For the First Time, New Projected Winner in the Metro. Tonight's picks

LOL, Detroit may be bad right now, but they will d better than just 2 more wins!!!!

Feel like coming in 2nd in the Metro is a much softer landing in the playoffs than actually winning the division.

Whatever team backs into the 3rd Metro spot will not be any better than the two WC teams.

Are you going to fix your record for Saturday? You went 7-7...but have claimed to go 8-6.

I agree. it's a fault with this. the games they have individually are not great matchups, so individually looked at they only get 2 points. We all know they will win more than that.

The winning percentage still says 56%. It's now 54%.

Tampa is significantly more dangerous than Washington, Philly or the Islanders. Even in an off year for them.

They wont be and good chance the Metro winner plays WC#1which will be Tampa in Rd1...as a Rangers fan 2nd could be better

I would love Tampa to draw Boston in round one. Lightning fan here.

So the Canes are going to only lose 1 game the rest of the way?

Interesting.

Ek hates the Red Wings.

Agree. That's what I'm saying. TBL at least have a great first line and PP.

You are projecting Carolina to finish their last 14 games with 13 wins and one OT or shootout loss?
Well, then they would certainly deserve that chance to face off against Tampa!!

It's kind of like when a player scores a goal in the team's first game of the season and 5 dorky sportswriters tweet "So-and-so is now on pace for 82 goals!"

Not a fan of Button but he’s probably right. Taking Reinbacher over Michkov wasn’t swinging for the fences.
