I am baked lol
Yes it should.

 

[leafsfan5]

NYI is too far back to make it

CAR/WSH/NYR/PIT is my 4

Boston gets the other wildcard

 

[bobholly39]

Carolina/Rangers/Pittsburgh/Washington.

2nd wildcard to come from Atlantic

 

[All Mod Cons]

Wash, Car, Nyr.

Really poor division.

 

[AvroArrow]

CAR/WAS/NYR/PIT

FLA/TB/TOR/BOS

 

[Governor]

I think Trotz is too good a coach for the Isles to not squeak in as a WC at most.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I could definitely see the Isles having a huge surge but I've kept doubting the Rangers this season and every time I've been wrong. Rags ain't shabby.

Caps/Pens/Canes for the others in no particular order.

He is a very good coach. That isn't gonna happen, the Isles are cooked this season.

 

[HyperX]

Answer to this seems obvious with the big-8 in the East right now

CAR/WSH/NYR/PIT
TOR/FLA/TMP/BOS

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Wash, Car, Nyr.

Really poor division.

What? It's not as good as it was early as teams have fallen off but it has one two of the best teams in the league, the Penguins who are always good, and an up and coming team in the Rangers that currently has the second best point % in the NHL.

Bait, dude, that was bait.

Bait, dude, that was bait.

I remember how last year people were trolling the east because it was supposed to be amazing but the Flyers fell off and the Sabres sucked, but at the top of the division it was the best in the league. I think most people who were trolling were butthurt Canadian fans who were upset that the north was called the weakest division. Maybe this is where it stems from.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I think the Blue Jackets have a realistic shot. Have scored the 2nd most goals so far behind the Caps(in the Metro).

Have some underrated forwards on that team for sure.

Washington Pittsburgh Carolina NYR

Great coach, mediocre roster. I think they'll miss.

The Islanders hate seems like alot of wish full and hope full thinking from certain specific fan bases. Been a tough start for them 13 games on the road then covid. I dont think so far this season is an accurate depiction of what the team is capable of but they have played alot of hockey. Their roster isnt below average either. I know when you only stat watch its hard to identify players that are hard to play against but that team has alot of them. Hence why they have success in the playoffs not November when the games are loose. Even if its too late this year they will be back next season.

They've lost 6 straight at home (getting out scored 18-6) so the road excuse doesn't work. Every team has had to deal with injuries, covid, etc to varying degrees, it doesn't excuse being on an 11 game losing streak.

Caps, canes, pens, NYR.

Lol they have lost half their team and have no rhythm. Its not the same for every team. Hockey keyboard warriors that have never been there just dont understand injuries or what its like when half your team is out and there is no consistency.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Was nervous about the pens missing the playoffs a few weeks ago but turns out flyers devils and isles are nowhere near as good as I had feared.

 

[Rob Brown]

CAR/WAS/NYR/PIT

FLA/TB/TOR/BOS

Agreed.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Honestly still think the Isles get hot and turn their season around at some point. Rangers falter a bit and the two NY teams battle it out for 3rd metro slot/WC slot. Canes and Caps a top the division in some order, too early to tell.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Answer to this seems obvious with the big-8 in the East right now

CAR/WSH/NYR/PIT
TOR/FLA/TMP/BOS

2 of those are clearly not like the others if you ask me.
