Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

Preds need to pull the trigger and hire Quenneville and let him evaluate the rest of the year.

Yes but playing a balanced schedule against every team in the league with a lot more travel makes up for the .30% points.
I count the Division win, but it is quite a bit more difficult to navigate through a full 82 game season

I don't see how travel changes anything, and there's no real evidence that our division was weaker. We count the division wins from 2012-2013 the same as any, and it was even less games. I get the we're disappointed in our playoff record, but we really need to stop being so dismissive of all other accomplishments.

I agree with your last point.

But a full 82 game schedule is more meaningful.

They were fooled by the exceptional season they had last year. Should have sold high but instead they bought high last summer. Now they’re stuck in no man’s land.

Trotz doing his best Burkie, not being able to read the landscape correctly.

Trotz never struck me as the GM type.

I wanted him here as a coach but Dubas was married to Keefe.

2-2 after two for both Ottawa/TB and Cats/Caps.

 

[BallardEra]

I have Tampa and Florida winning.

Florida was never going to win that game.

Ottawa and Cats both lose and are still separated by 5 points

0.1 left on the clock. He’s straight up trolling at this point.

Wright might be finding his game now.
Kinda hope so.

I think the east will end up like this:
Atlantic:

1. Toronto
2. Florida
3. Tampa

Metro:

1. Washington
2. Carolina
3. NJ

Wildcard:

1. Detroit
2. Ottawa

So I guess we’re getting Detroit in the first round then. We will have to go through Tampa or Florida in order to get to the ECF, I think we all knew that already.

Maybe this is what they need to bring back those '93 vibes.

They can fight each other for second play in the Atlantic, I guess, but Tampa will probably have a say in that discussion.
