Pacific Power

[Vegas07]

The Knights have won 7 in a row and still can’t pull ahead. Calgary keeps winning and the Sharks wouldn’t even lose to Tampa Bay.

I’ve been hearing that the Knights would have an easy path to the conference finals again. What are people talking about because it doesn’t look easy to me.

All I know is the Kings suck and they still aren’t far enough away from a wildcard place for my liking. Those wildcard teams need to start pulling away more.

Just wait till the oilers rack up 10 in a row and will be back in business!

Am I right? @Todd from Leduc

3 out of top 4 teams are from pacific. So long to weak pacific posts.

They have played more games then all the teams around them. As that equalizes they will drop out of the top 5.

The Pacific is basically the Atlantic last year, very top heavy

Hilarious that the Ducks/Canucks/Oilers are right there in a playoff race.. The west is so bad

Kings could still make it.

Doubt it.

I believe most places usually charge double for that kind of action.

Jets and Preds are better than every Pacific team

Maybe the Jets. Not so sure about Nashville anymore. Their D will always keep them at the top but the balance of power seems to be tilting.

Vegas, which has no top end scorers is just a machine that will not slow down.
Calgary and San Jose have entire teams of guys that are playing at their peak.

Surprisingly San Jose, a team mixed with young guys and vets, is having players having career years on all ends. Pavelski, Couture, Burns, Meier, Hertl, Donskoi, Kane, Karlsson (current pace) are all having career years.

That's not true. Flames and SJ are both just as good or better.

I beg to differ

Kase and RNH over Tomas Hertl is a joke.

They have played more games then all the teams around them. As that equalizes they will drop out of the top 5.

Nashville has a lower points percentage than three teams in the Pacific.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Doubt it.

You think Toronto, Winnipeg and Washington cant win 1 game in their next 2, 3 or 4 games?

Solid take.

Great; Washington, Winnipeg and Toronto have a better win% then all 3 Pacific teams.

The kind of run it would take for the Kings to make the playoffs--particularly with the other teams picking up the pace--would make 2012 look like a light jog.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

And when you rank by points percentage, Calgary is 5th, San Jose is 6th, and Vegas is 7th. So, your idea that the Pacific will have no teams in the top-5 once the games played normalizes is not really based in fact. Same as your idea that Nashville is better than any Pacific team (which is what I originally took issue with - you just moved the goal posts).

Where did I mention Nashville?

Toronto, Winnipeg and Washington will pass the Pacific. At best Maybe Calgary stays at 5, but I also suspect Pittsburg will pass them in the coming weeks.

Based on?

Eating popcorn and enjoying this shit show.

Based on?

The 1st 3 teams being better and Pittsburgh had a horrendous start but are coming back hot.

"Being better." Great analysis.
