Yes Florida would’ve won if healthy, and Vegas would’ve lost to Edmonton if they didn’t circumvent the cap

If all teams are 100% healthy. Florida doesn't make it to the 2nd round...

Edmonton wasn't far behind Vegas when it came to the total team cap in last years playoffs. Edmonton was 2nd in total cap in the playoffs at 90 million.

If Devon Levi is what he looks to be, Sabres have everything they need. Theyll be there...

But boy...toss in Zegras and away we go

Ek is back. Look at the second sentence:

I am searched high and low for and article I believe was in the hockey digest 30-40 yesars ago that predicted hockey 25 and 50 yeasts out.

Again, all just in the 2nd sentence.

I was starting to get worried we would never see another Eklund article again. But the poor grammar and rambling is back on the menu fellow Buzzards!

and only a few short months away from end of year pts predictions via the Excel modeling tool from the Bat Computer - always a very interesting read - some teams only playing 81 games

Don't forget ambitious efforts like "how each team could win the Cup". Does 4 or 5 teams and then runs out of time to do the other 27. All of them are essentially the same...if the goalie gets hot, these guys play to their potential, and this young player has a giant leap forward, then they could win the Cup. Still a fun read. Do those again please.

This guy singing the anthems for Toronto and Buffalo absolutely sucks. Has no emotion or real range of any kind. Seems like they got a homeless guy off the street. That would explain the long hair

It's incredible to me that this site still exists. I guess it's losers like us that keep the lights just barely on. Keep on keeping on the 50 of us that just can't help but look at this relic of the 2000's.

Isles would be 32 if not for having the best goalie on the planet who’s still relatively young. The rest of the team/prospect pool is a disaster

I agree. If the Panthers were healthy and the officiating in that series was remotely fair, Florida wins that series all day long. But Vegas is Bettman’s team.

Florida got humiliated in that series. Vegas outscored them by 15 goals in five games with Florida's only win coming in OT. They didn't belong on the same sheet of ice.
