Any hockey fans out there?

I believe an Avalanche hit Minnesota today...full burial...no survivors

Agreed. We got our butts kicked. Solid game put together by the Avs and they showed why they are the best team in the league

Avs maybe need to lose a few more. Not sure we want to have that President's Cup jinx on our backs.

The reason the Avs are on top is because the West is sooooo weak compared to the East

Sabres looking for 8th in a row! There is hope for us poor sabre fans

I guess that’s why they’re only 12-2-2 vs Eastern conference teams…

If they had to play constantly against team like Detroit, Tampa, Florida, Philly, Canes, Islanders, Habs etc. They wouldn't have over 60 points. Instead they play mostly teams below .500 and then choke in them playoff's

Haven’t had the wings yet, but have run pretty good against the rest of that list effectively every other game this year so far (16/36 games against the east) so not sure what the argument is

Random thought: I wish they'd go back to 1-8 playoff seeding. I hate the divisions/wildcards. I think 1-8 is more fair and rewards the higher seeds.
If the 'yoffs started today, My Mild (3rd in the conference in pts) would play the Stars (2nd in the conference in pts) in the first round. Seems silly to me to send one of the three best teams in the conference home after round one.
The league really likes those first round division matchups....

Agree. Penalizes the strong Divisions.

TBH i wish come playoff time they got rid of the divisions all together. Have all the teams going up against each other rather then East vs West until the finals. It would also make the rivalries more intense.
