Both, Boston and Toronto don't seem to be up to there normal standards, they could be had.

Last year's team with 82 games of Larkin could do it. I have less confidence in this one. 46+8 pairing seems determined to torpedo any hopes of success this season.

I watched the Leafs and Bruins game the other night, Toronto now has a goalie and appears to be developing a different game than other seasons (Matthews was out, but still) likely due to the coach and personnel. This has lead to an higher amount of penalties called against the Leafs, so they do not always outscore their sins, as they clean that up, I suspect they may be a tougher game.

It may actually make the Leafs a better team by end of the season, we'll see if the adjustment s make a big difference.

The Bruins appear to be a bit of a mess at this stage, at least for this game, but I would suggest they are unusually "flappable" at the moment, but the season is still young, there is time for them to correct it. If they don't, they may well be on the outside looking in.

win percentage doesn't matter as much as point totals.

Red Wings are tied for 8th.
POINTS percentage is a much better measure than point totals, especially at this point of the season.

Carolina having 18 points in 11 games is not equal to New Jersey having 18 points in 15 games


That being said, I'm not particularly interested in tracking the minutiae of the playoff race with 70 games to go, so use whatever you want
