Unfortunately for you this is the year the Wild win the playoff series. They outplayed the Hawks last year and now this year they have the talent and the depth to finish the job.

Dude... I know it's coming, but this ain't the Blackhawks of the 90s. We'll see. I'm actually hoping to avoid the Wild this year though - just to be safe(r).

Trust me - as a Hawks fan dating back to the mid-80s, it's been hard to get away from jumping at shadows (due to the failures from 87-95). And the North Stars were right in the middle of the second most gut-wrenching of those failures.

Times change though and the Hawks were not engaged in last year's playoffs - essentially coasting until it was too late in the WCFs. They are hungry again now.

The Division is going to be nuts.

Colorado won it last year. I see them possibly being last.
Dallas is improved. No two ways about it.
The Wild finally have the depth and hopefully the scoring to win consistently.
The Blues and Hawks are both picked by many to win the Cup.

That's all in one division.

It's going to be sick.

The West/Pacific (whatever) isn't much worse.

Meat grinders west of the Mississippi.

A coworker asked me, a Stars fan, how Dallas was gonna do. I said "probably same place as last year."
"Really? You guys signed Spezza and have Benn. You guys look good!"
"Yeah, and so does Chicago and St. Louis and Minnesota and Colorado..."

In numerous interviews Minnesota's coach Mike Yeo, and various others have stated that Minnesota could win the Cup this year and they could miss the playoffs entirely this year. That's how sick the West is right now.

How many teams in the West are better than teams in the East?

Chicago, LA, St. Louis.. Anaheim, San Jose, Minnesota?

Not sure all of those are better than Boston. Chicago and LA probably are, but the gap is small. St. Louis may be a push.

There's no doubt though that the west has 7 or 8 of the top teams in the entire league.

Yeah, but what's left out East after Boston? Nothing, pretty much.

I guess I'll just assume Pittsburgh by default. Hell, Columbus might make some noise. That'd be something.
 
Re: NHL 2015 - Trouble Bruin! Ranger Leaf jumped the King Shark! Just Ducky!

Montreal?

What did Boston do to improve over the offseason? The Blues already won both games against the Bruins last season and have undoubtedly improved with the additions of Stastny and Lehtera.

They're in the East. They don't have to improve.

The Blues need to win in the playoffs.

Boston has proven that they can.
