After about 20 games, most teams know where their at. For teams in the metropolitan division, the headaches must be insane.
8 teams in the division are all within 5 points, the top 7 teams are within 3 points,
and 3 teams at the top are tied in points.

Other divisions are all way more dispersed.
First of all, who do you think finds success in the metro? Will New Jersey actually hold on, as they weren't expected to be so good?
As a fan, neutral to the metro division, I find it fascinating to follow the division battle, but if you're a fan of a metro team, is it even fun being in a division that's such a bloodbath?
