San Jose finishing higher than Nashville was not on my bingo card (so far)

Rangers, Nashville cratering hard so far was absolutely not on my bingo card.
Excepted both teams to take a smaller sized dip.
Did not expect Washington to be this good, so far, in fact had expected Washington to crater the way the rangers did instead.

I was there every step of the way…
Despite that I am shocked at the big improvement by the 11-17-5 Sharks

Washington is this season's biggest surprise. Honorable mention to Minnesota and Winnipeg. Dishonorable mention to Nashville. What happened there?

Rangers Wings Preds all doing worse than I expected.

Awesome
I was curious to see what teams points percentage was looking like compared to this time last year and found this site.
This was about the point most teams had played 30-31 games.

Devils definitely on the right track. Their team D play is absurd and a complete 180 from last season.
In the last 4 games they gave up a combined 67 shots

Sens are trending up big time, they finally have a legitimate elite goaltender, Sens have given up an average of 1,28 goals per game the last 7 games, They are finding ways to win games instead of losing them.
Seems like too much key personnel turnover destroyed the team chemistry, and perhaps the new pieces aren't actually as good as those they let go.
Otherwise stated, Trotz gambled his paycheck but crapped out and will be spending the rest of the season eating nothing but cold cereal.
Perhaps the better question is why the Preds thought that Trotz would make a good GM. It's somewhat like taking a champion NASCAR driver and deciding that he could be a successful 747 pilot too.
Nashville is the huge outlier at -249; two best are +180, +178. Second worst is Rangers at -178. So… what do they do? Get shutout by Nashville. Sounds right.
Watch out for the Blackhawks. I mean by default they put up 52 points last year. With the worst record in the league, they're on pace for 62 and they just replaced their coach. There is clearly signs of life and they have more kids coming up later into the season.

People obviously tend to look at the teams at the top and the bottom but what about the Kraken going absolutely nowhere? Very concerning when you consider they were able to build their future outlook from the scratch. But then again I think we could all see this happening right from the expansion draft.

Boston managing to sit in the third in the Atlantic, courtesy of smoke, mirrors and duct tape.
