In fairness, that was a team where Ethan Bear was on the top PK unit.A few years ago, we unanimously voted we wanted the Jets in the 1st round.
Careful what we wish for everyone.

Chances are that we get Vegas now.
To win the division, we would need to win out and have Vancouver lose out in regulation. Possible, but unlikely.
LA is only 1 point up on Vegas. Vegas has 2 games, LA has 1. All of these games are against bottom feeders, so an unlikely loss for Vegas against Chicago or Anaheim would have to happen for LA to have a chance at holding the #3 spot.
I'd rather not face Vegas at all, but zi would prefer to hit them in round 1, before their IR guys have shaken the rust off.
I can't imagine LA wanted Edmonton for a 3rd straight year, not saying they lost of purpose, but Edmonton has had their number. LA is trouble against Dallas too, the Stars are good, and deep.If they crossed over we wouldn't have had to play them at all. No chance they make it to the 3rd round through the Central.
LA really bungled this. Losing to Ducks and then the Wild. Was their spot to lose and they've appeared to hand it over to Vegas

predictions....
Dal over LA in 5
Col over Win in 7
Van over Nash in 6
Edm over Veg in 7
NYR over Wash in 4
Car over NYI in 5
Tor over Bos in 7
Fla over TB in 7
should be a crazy first round.
Interestingly enough if the Canucks win and Dallas loses in regulation in their next games LA will play Vancouver, not Dallas.The thought crossed my mind aswell that the Kings might want to drop from the 3rd seed to avoid the Oilers. I just can't convince myself that they think they have a better chance against Dallas and Colorado/Winnipeg though
ya, there is no easy road to the Stanley Cup, lots of really talented teams out there.The thought crossed my mind aswell that the Kings might want to drop from the 3rd seed to avoid the Oilers.

I think a lot of it had to do with selling playoff tickets. Oilers would be a tougher sale - 3rd time around with Oilers.If they crossed over we wouldn't have had to play them at all. No chance they make it to the 3rd round through the Central.
