I think you guys are missing the point. These aren't tiers of contenders. you add Washington and Winnipeg to pool A and they overwhelmingly win the poll. I think he was trying to spread it out to get 3 pools of relatively equal probabilities.OP is a Pens fan, no needs more explanations here.
try pool world war z, or pool the lost city of zI believe Pool D
Surely you feel the same way about Tampa's and Washington's defense, both of which allowed more goals then the Leafs did last season.Swap Toronto anf winnipeg in pool A
Then Pool A.
Toronto belongs in pool B with that AHL calibre defense
Pool A
It’s Tampa’s year
Or Winnipeg; even with the disgrace of a goaltending performance that was one heck of a run as well.
From Pool A I'd say Tampa has the only chance at the Cup.
My Cup winner would be from B. Probably Boston.
Nope. I think they'll miss the playoffs actually.Pens have no chance?
Anaheim New Jersey Philly and Columbus are only playoff teams not included.
I go with A, the contenders.
Round 2 of TBL and TOR will be the true Stanley cup final this year.
the pens
washington belongs in tier 2, you could argue that's being generous since only the truly elite have repeated
one aberration year doesn't make up for years of losing so how can you think of them as a favorite
I think that gets overstated, they only lost to good teams. The only bad loss was Tampa 2011, even the 2010 loss the pens loss the next round.
yes they did lose to great teams, some of the best we've ever seen
but it's unrealistic to think the can go back to back as that is almost unfathomable for any team to pull off so they belong in the 2nd tier because of that
I don't get how you determined who was in Pool A & B. If you are implying that Pool A are the 4 most likely teams to win the Cup, then this whole thread is off the rails from the start.
