Is 2025-2026 the worst eastern conference ever?

[Panthaz89]

Easiest path and one of the best postseason W-L records as well

Just realized they didn't even lose 4 games the entire run.

Not at all, i don't care about you or Carolina but the truth is the east was weak and Carolina got a free pass to the cup. Just like the Yankes when they made it to the world series and lost to the Dodgers. It's not an insult

The East is better than the West. Carolina beat both conferences.

How about people give them credit instead of making excuses? We were all hyping up Colorado as that unstoppable monster that would annihilate whoever made it to the finals. Colorado gets mollywhopped by Vegas who then gets handled by the Canes, all of a sudden it's "mmmh, actually, they were all weak teams",

Nice try- the entire NHL was weak this year. Science can’t explain it.

Idk what’s going on there, poor image just like poor quality of competition. Every team they ran into was nerfed, like hitting all green lights on a stretch of road.

(Kidding, it’s fun to extend the logic of denial though. A+ team, Rod wins).

What teams have gone 16-3?

2012 kings lost 4 games

8-1 on the road and it took a double OT to lose that one.

Special year

Nobody. Playoffs went to best of 7 in all four rounds in 1987 and the Oilers went 16-2 in 1988. Every other winner since then lost 4+

Can't believe the weak eastern conference lucked into another cup.

And Freddie had a Giggy-esque run until he shit the bed in the finals.

The East crushed the West in head to head games this year. And obviously Carolina is the best team in the league. Anyone claiming the West is the stronger conference this year is simply brain dead.
