LightningRide75 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Western Conference#8 Colorado Avalanche#4 Phoenix Coyotes#3 Vancouver Canucks#2 Chicago BlackhawksPhew! Just making sure I'm not the only one who sees San Jose's annual postseason nosedive coming a mile away.San Jose will beat Colorado. Avalanche pretty much blow. Sharks will lose in the second round.And the Sharks don't blow in the postseason? C'mon now.They do but the Sharks won't lose to Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Weird time for a middle of the week game. (All Times Eastern) so that means Game 4 starts at 4:30pm in Phoenix.Actually, that would be 3:30 PM!Phoenix isn't in the Pacific Time Zone is it?Arizona doesn't participate in daylight savings time...Okay that makes sense but that's even worse then 4:30.This wouldn't be a problem if the Red Wings were in the Eastern Conference where they belong....

The Wings have lobbied for that in the past but nothing is set in stone.

NEW.ERA Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 For the five teams that have the best shot at either Mr. Hall or Mr. Seguin (I'm sure if the BJ's win they'll take Seguin) here are the odds at winning tonight's Lottery 8pm ET on Versus, TSN and NHL.comAnd if your a fan of the team on the outside of the Top 5, I believe you can move up four spots. Either way 6-14 can't pick first overall.1. Edmonton 25.0 (48.2% Selecting First)2. Toronto (Boston) 18.8 (18.8% chance of selecting first)3. Florida 14.2 (14.2% chance of selecting first)4. Columbus 10.7 (10.7% chance of selecting first)5. NY Islanders 8.1 (8.1% chance of selecting first)-----------------------------------------------------6. Tampa Bay 6.27. Carolina 4.78. Atlanta 3.69. Minnesota 2.710. NY Rangers 2.111. Dallas 1.512. Anaheim 1.113. Calgary (Phoenix) 0.8 14.

Take into account about 80 years or so of seniority and that gives Detroit the edge over Columbus.Yes, but if the Wings moved East it would leave the Blackhawks 1)without their biggest rival and 2)the only "Original 6" team in the West. So all things being equal, I would like to see Columbus make the move East instead of Detroit.

The_Admiral Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Red Wings fans bitch about the grueling travel of the Western Conference as if teams go from city to city by Conestoga wagon train, and yet they've still won four of a possible six Stanley Cups. Is the gripe that they could've won nine of a possible ten? I don't get this. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the gripe that they could've won nine of a possible ten? I don't get this.I bitch about the Western Conference because I want to see the Wings play Toronto and Montreal and Boston and the Rangers. Chicago, too, but not at the cost of the others.While I don't doubt that the travel wears on the players, that's the wrong reason to switch conferences. Teams have private jets and stay in resorts on the road, a West Coast road trip for them isn't like a family vacation where everyone piles into the van and Dad refuses to make any rest stops. The players can deal.Late night games suck for the fans but since when do we matter?

The_Admiral Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'd like to see Chicago play the rest of the Original Six more often than when there's a solar eclipse, but I also get that you're not going to get a perfect west/east split in a league that has so many teams out east.

CJR Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Toronto was in the Western Conference and it somehow made geographic sense.I still want to know how the hell the Leafs got into the East so fast. They were supposed to stay in the Central Division until 2003, at which point they'd swap with the Blue Jackets (who were to enter the league in the Northeast Division for competitive balance).
