This shit needs to stop. 4 years in a row. It doesn’t breed rivalry. It breeds fatigue. I don’t hate the kings. I’m tired of them.Oilers/Kings in the first round... you don't say.
Pretty wild that a month ago the Penguins looked like the worst team in the league, now they’re in the mix for a playoff spot. Of course there’s a lot of hockey left to play.
Well please knock us out in 4 games this year then and maybe our dumbass GM will finally get f***ing fired like he deserves.This shit needs to stop. 4 years in a row. It doesn’t breed rivalry. It breeds fatigue. I don’t hate the kings. I’m tired of them.
Of course lots can change. But as we sit here today:

I have no idea what all the colored boxes and teams are in the OP, but here are the standings with current wild card teams for each conference, right from NHL.com.

Excellent way to look at it.Wins minus losses (matches real record strength perfectly as 1pt is neutral)
East
Wash +14
NJ +12
Fla +10
Tor +9
Car +9
TB +8
Bos +6
Ott +4
Pitt +1
NYR -1
Phi -1
Cbj -1
NYI -2
Mtl -3
Det -4
Buff -7
Very disappointing season by Nyr so far and there is not a lot of playoff spots available as teams like Tor, Car, Tb and Bos know how to make the playoffs and chances are someone else around their level will have a hot second half.
West
Wpg +15
Veg +15
Min +11
Edm +10
Lak +9
Van +7
Dal +7
Col +6
Cgy +5
Uta +4
Stl 0
Ana -3
Sea -4
Nsh -6
SJ -9
Chi -9
I can't see Utah and Calgary as particularly scary so if anyone in the top 8 misses they only have themselves to blame.
Take heart. The Kings annual January collapse is coming.Of course lots can change. But as we sit here today:
