The likely don't care who they play in round 1, which makes it laughable that they are losing (or winning) on purpose to face team X instead of team Y. They'll play who they play and likely feel themselves favourites no matter what given past performances.
The western conference teams play with a little more jam. Vegas just pounded us into the dirt and we were injured. That Vegas team was gross, that was just their year and they weren’t going to accept no.
Yup, they've got 3-4 teams I see as having legit cup potential. The east has 2, Florida and Tampa. And going back the last 5 years, the state of Florida has made the east look way better than it really is. Because Carolina, NYR, and Toronto? (Or whoever you want to label as the best teams during that span) have all been pretenders to everyone except the homers.
He's been generally good and this is a lazy take
Florida has played the most games of anyone the last 2 seasons and had the most players at the 4 nations. They are load managing as best they can. Maybe you’re right and they can’t turn it on but it’s probably better than running them into the ground. I think most Florida fans can accept if this is the year they burn out in the playoffs. They’re human.
I’m an Avs fan and my team has also got injuries galore. So the question was actually just about the players’ ability to ramp up their game.
He was sent to fat camp
