You mean the Pacific? If so probably. If you mean the entire West I dunno. Their goaltending can he pretty shaky at times.The West is Sharks’ to lose this year?
The West is Sharks’ to lose this year?
Thinking about possibly having to go through the Jets in round 2 and SJ in round 3 is frightening. That's a tall task.
The Jets and Sharks can outscore their problems. That's where my fear comes into play. The Preds margin of error is much thinner. Of course I'll take my chances! I don't think it's impossible. I just think it's a very tough road. Pred's goaltending and defense would have to be playing up near to the top of their abilities to get through those series back to back. The gold brick road that was laid out for us in 16-17 probably isn't going to happen this year.
Blues are on fire, have 4 games in hand and are 10 points behind the Preds. I shouldn’t be worried but I am worried.
So apparently Vancouver just traded for Marek Mazanec... had no idea he was still in North America

Stars are only 8 points behind with 3 games in hand too. If the Preds don't start playing better they may find themselves playing the Jets in the 1st round.
I still haven't figured out how the schedule is so screwed up that teams can be that different. I guess the good way to look at it though is it means more rest in these last couple of monthsFor all our angst we have actually gained two points on the Jets in the last 10 games. 6-3-1 for Preds(really doesnt seem like that, feels like 3-6-1) while the Jets are 5-4-1.
Edit... we are also the first team in the league to have played 60 games. The Blues have 4 games in hand on us. Crazy.

Not only have we played the most games (60), but 21 of the other 30 teams have played 57 or less, meaning we have played at least 3 more games than over 70% of the league.
Will be glad when that evens out- makes looking the standings very frustrating with just about every team we are battling having multiple games in hand.
