St. Louis won a Cup after being dead last in the Western Conference in January. I think the Kings and Capitals won Cups in similar positions.

Maybe not "set" so much as there is an increasing delineation between the real contenders, the bubble teams, and the disappointed.

The east is insanely tight so far. The last place team is only like 4 or 5 pts out of a wildcard spot at the moment.

How are 6 of 8 first round match ups a repeat? I count 2. Toronto/Boston, LA/Edmonton. Those matchups are inevitable. The rest are different.

You put it better than I did.

Just because the Habs are out doesn't mean the playoffs are set

Isn't it something like only 2 teams on average each year climb into the playoffs after Thanksgiving? I remember seeing that homework having been done a few years back.

Not even being close to being set. There is a dog fight for the last spot in the Pacific and centrel divisions with an equal dog fight for the two wild card positions in the west. In the east there is an equal dog fight amongst ten teams for the two wild card spots.

I have the 5 pt rule. If you are with 5 pts of the last playoff spot? You are within striking distance.

There are only 5 teams that you can say are already booking their T times.

Ducks, Preds, Hawks, and sharks. But the Preds could be the oilers of this year if they can every find the proper gear
