With about 15 or so games to go in the regular season, pressure is starting to mount.
So lets take a look at each conference.
Western Conference:
– Crazy races from top to bottom. The Ducks vs Blues at the top should be fantastic to watch.
– The wild card race – new to this season – is really going to fun to watch. But don’t tell that to fans from the wild. The look on this guys face says it all:
If the playoff started today
1 Blues vs 8 Stars
2 Ducks vs 7 Wild
3 Sharks vs Kings
4. Blackhawks vs 5 Avs
The playoffs never are bad, but those matchups? Whoa.
Eastern conference
– Boston is streaking, while the Penguins have fallen off.
– The wild card race is insane. Four teams within seven points.
If the playoffs started today
1 Bruins vs 8 Rangers
2 Penguins vs 7 Lightning
3 Habs vs 6 Blue Jackets
4 Maple Leafs vs 5 Flyers
– The East is a fluid situation. The matchups today aren’t great, but a point here or there and they could be. The Blue Jackets are the surprise of the season right now.
