What sucks is that since teams don't play enough divisional games anymore(thanks to the huge divisions), I feel like the only way this rivalry is ever going to be one is with a playoff matchup and who know how many years that will take.
Pre-season is too long and it means nothing. Starters are going at 60-65% max intensity, players shaking off the rust, the play is choppy, just a warm up for the regular season, shouldn’t take too much from a player having an outstanding pre-season, Sergei Shirokov scored 7 points in 4 preaseason games, everyone thought he was the second coming of Pavel Bure, his NHL regular season career lasted 8 games.
