hockey is probably the most even of the sports for team strength, the 8th seeding honestly has as much chance as the #1 each year
and they give rest and then re-seed after each round
hey, you gotta beat the best to win it all, the West is the one to squawk as i perceive, like the NBA, that it's way stronger in talent than the Eastern counterpart
the Leafs finished way up there in points gleaned and have a 3rd seed in their division...
Tavares got quite the Isles crowd reaction for his return earlier this year, i was laughing the whole time watching the TV
they will have to give a lot of blood to knock off Pittsburgh, wear them out for the Caps...
Leafs playoff tickets are only when the Christmas bonus was lucrative...
