I voted Carolina for same reason as
@pman25. But honestly, I don’t really care. We are in and that is all that matters.
We won presidents trophies and got bounced. Same happened to TB 3 years ago. Anything can happen.
When you wipe away all of the negativity from these boards, and understand we have the 4th best winning % since March 1. We have been strong the last 10 games including several quality wins and two blowout wins (albeit against non-playoff teams). We are as healthy as we have been all year. We have tremendous depth should we need it. We have a great coach who has won cups and taken three to the finals. We have a veteran team who knows how to succeed in the playoffs. Special teams are clicking. And for once we are playing well heading into the playoffs versus faltering because we have been one of the top teams and got complacent.
