How many Canadian Teams make it to the playoffs?

[lawrence]

Toronto Winnipeg and Edmonton are my bets to make the playoffs.

Calgary is one of those I won't be surprised if they miss it or make it team.

Edmonton has the Mcdavid factor

 

[firstemperor]

Over/Under would be around 2.5

Leafs and Jets are locks

Edmonton and Calgary have a chance.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Leafs and Jets are locks and I think one of Calgary/Edmonton make it (not both)

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I know a lot of people are still high on Vegas. I honestly see them as a bubble team in the Pacific.

San Jose
Edmonton/Calgary
Vegas/LA
Anaheim
Arizona/Vancouver

Speaking only to my own team, Edmonton had terrible special teams last year, and terrible contributions from everyone outside of Connor/Drai. Many agree that Connor looks like he can put up 120ish points this year (maybe more).

That's an average of 1.5 goals per game that 1 player is helping this team achieve. If the majority of the remaining cast just plays to their ability, and some guys step forward like Pulju or Nurse, it should be enough to make the difference and earn more wins than losses.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Oilers, Jets, leafs and fames.

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

Jets Leafs and one of the Oilers or Flames. I think whichever Alberta team gets in does it by eliminating the other.

 

[libertarian]

While I voted 4 teams it could be just 3.

Jets
Leafs
Flames/Oilers?

If the Central takes 5 PO spots like I think they will then only one of the Flames or Oilers make it. If The Pacific takes 4 PO spots then both Alberta teams are in.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Jets and leafs

 

[rent free]

Toronto Winnipeg and Edmonton are my bets to make the playoffs.

Calgary is one of those I won't be surprised if they miss it or make it team.

Edmonton has the Mcdavid factor

mcdavid factor is a myth

 

[DEVILS130]

Went with 2 (WPG and TOR). I think there will be 5 teams from the Central in the playoffs which leaves 3 spots for the Pacific. SJ, VGK and LA take those spots imo

 

[jetsforever]

Voted 2 (Toronto and Winnipeg)
CGY/EDM might, but I wouldn't bet on it

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Locks:
Toronto
Winnipeg

Bubble:
Edmonton
Calgary

 

[BonAppleTea]

Zero

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Leafs
Jets
Flames

Calgary added somemajor offensive depth

 

[Baxterman]

Two: Toronto and Winnipeg

Neither make it out of the first round

 

[Calgareee]

CAL has the same amounts of wins as VAN this pre-season.
Means nothing...

You are correct. Preseason wins and losses mean nothing.

For purpose of the poll went with three

 

[lawrence]

heres the thing to the fans of pacific teams

I think San Jose, (karllsson addition) Anahiem and L.A who added Kovalchuk are locks.

I don't see both Alberta teams making it, only 1 or none.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Winnipeg
Toronto
Calgary

Correct answer here, let's wrap it up and go for wings and brewskies.
(Edmonton might make it, dark hors.)

 

[BruinsFan37]

Toronto and Winnipeg.

50-50 shot at 1 of Calgary or Edmonton.

No real chance for Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver.

 

[Captain97]

Toronto and jets plus one of the oilers or flames.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Two to four.

TOR and WPG will qualify.

EDM and/or CGY may.

I've got all 4 in.

 

[ManofSteel55]

2 to 4. I think Toronto and Winnipeg should get in unless things fall apart horrifically for those teams. Edmonton and/or Calgary could get in - maybe not both, but I could see one making it. Voted 2 to be conservative on this.

 

[treple13]

My prediction is it's going to be four, but voted three as it's the most likely. It all comes down to the Pacific. How many teams and which ones are very up in the air. I actually like the Pacific bubble teams a lot more than the Central bubble teams so I have Calgary/Edmonton both in. I think Edmonton is going to be right around the final wildcard spot. I have them making it as the 5th Pacific team (yep, there's a wild prediction).

 

[Canada Drai]

Oilers, Jets, Leaves.

 

[Wolfpuck]

2

Jets and Leafs

I don't quite think the Flames make it, but I wouldn't be shocked if they did.
