Have the Bruins done Enough to repeat as Eastern finalists?

[Stylizer]

Are losing Horton and Seguin and Peverly going to hurt team chemistry?

Does Eriksson make up for the loss?

They're good enough, but it's in no way guaranteed. Those losses really do sting, and Pittsburgh is just as stacked as ever.

I think we have a Boston v Ottawa "Atlantic" division final.

The Bruins look stronger than last year, to me. Eriksson is a great player and he should finally get the attention he never really got.

Call me crazy, but I can see the top two Atlantic Division teams being Ottawa and Tampa Bay. The worst team in the division might not be Buffalo; Florida doesn't look to stand a much better chance.

You're crazy.

Unless the Atlantic Division final is something I'm not aware of or whatever lol... Boston will go furthest in the east though.

this should be the default NHL standings page, it's the only one that shows anything useful.

Confusing.

So if the playoffs started today, it'd be...

1) Toronto
2) Boston
3) Detroit
4) Pittsburgh
5) NY Islanders
6) Columbus
7) Ottawa
8) Montreal

?

yeah I think so.

Re: Have the Bruins done Enough to repeat as Eastern finalis

Not quite. Pittsburgh would have been in 2nd. The Atlantic division doesn't just automatically get ranked higher than the Metropolitan one, and Pittsburgh has a superior goal differential. Of course, the standings have now changed so Columbus is out and Carolina is in... I wish TSF could still be accessed; I'd written up that huge post using last year's standings as an example. Ah well, I'll write it again soon.
