Thread: standings prediction 202122
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Let’s be honest everybody about last year. Grubauer was indeed a Vezina finalist, he also got to play , SJS, ANA, Kings, and AZ a lot. Kuemper healthy is better than Grubauer. WPG got to play OTT, VAN, CGY a bunch. Predicting a lot based of last years play is dangerous. Do I think COL is 23 pts better than WPG, 🤷‍♂️. What I do know is COL has the 3 best players and arguably 7 of the best 10 (I know so in no particular order after the best 3 MacK, Makar, Mikko, Landy, Schiefle, Connor, Helly, Toews, Girard, Kuemper - yeah Eilers is probably 11). I just think COL is going to win more games they shouldn’t than WPG just because they have more talent.</div></div>

Even if you are good in the regular season I dont think that should be your goal. There is no problem with finishing second. As history has shown us the best teams in the regular season often dont make it the furthest in the playoffs.

I think Colorado makes the playoffs regardless, 1st or third it doesnt matter. they should focus on getting past the hump in the playoffs

Thread: leafs lowkey gonna have a hard time making the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SNipeSHowInc</b></div><div>Why would you think Toronto would have a tough time? who did they lose from last years dominant regular season that would drastically change your view of having a hard time making the playoffs? They have a solid top 2 lines, a speedy 3rd line and A 4th line that can score some goals with Spezza. The defense is quite good and the goalie tandem hopefully performs well, I see the goaltending being a bigger question mark than other aspects of the team (although im pretty optimistic about the goaltending, I do think it is a question mark if it can be as good as last season though)

Tampa is good I see them in first place, but they just lost their entire 3rd line and replaced them with young rookies

Florida - Matthews &gt; Barkov, Marner &gt; Huberdeau, Tavares &gt; Renhart, Nylander &gt; whichever other Florida forward you want to pick... I do think floridas depth is a bit better with Vatrano Duclair Hornqvist Verhaeghe. I think the Leafs have better D than Florida does and depending which Bobrovsky shows up, they could have better goaltending too.

Tampa
Toronto
Florida
Boston
Montreal

I also have 4 Atlantic and 4 Metro, I dont think the Metro is that good compared to the Atlantic</div></div>
Atlantic is top heavy, metro is good all around. will be very hard to play in own division for metro teams while atlantic can feast on sabres and red wings

Thread: will the Islanders even make the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UBS_ARENA</b></div><div>My first problem with this team is that I really don't think it's gonna look like this on opening night. I trust in Lou and I don't think there's any way we don't make a deal for a LD2. Playing Greeneon the second pair is the best way to not make the playoffs and tho Lou and trotz really like "their guys" they aren't dumb. So I don't agree with the premise of this acgm.

As for what teams will make the playoffs, rangers have no RW1, Pittsburgh goaltending is atrocious, the caps defense is extremely thin not to mention unproven in net. The flyers will be good I really like their team but they can finish anywhere from 1 to 7 in the division, that will mostly be based off how hart does. We will get to see if last year was really because of the defense or because of him. The Canes got worse everywhere, forwards, defense, and in net. As for the devils they're not there yet. Would they be a playoff team in the pacific, yeah and maybe in the central, but with so many teams on front of them i just don't see how they jump that many teams.</div></div>

I like your analysis
