  1. Eastern...western teams are harder (some of them)


  2. This year is going to be different, last year it would have been the west, but the North West division is weak, as well as the Southeast, and the Atlantic and Pacific Divisions are both incredibly strong, and The Central has a great team, and 1-2 other playoff teams just like the Northeast, the habs and then boston, maybe ottawa.

    So this year, i think it will be pretty comprable

  3. west

    eastern has: ottawa

    montreal

    buffalo

    boston

    philadelphia

    washington

    tempa bay

    pittsburgh

    ny rangers

    west have

    detroit

    minnesota

    san jose

    dallas

    chicago

  4. It would be easier in the Eastern Conference for sure.

    West:

    Detroit

    San Jose

    Dallas

    Anaheim

    Edmonton

    Chicago

    Calgary

    Colorado

    Nashville

    East:

    Ottawa

    Montreal

    New York

    Pittsburgh

    Philadelphia

    New Jersey

    Compare those top teams and the west is way tougher. The Eastern conference is still tough but it is nothing like the West.

  5. east

  6. Neither it's very tough in both.

  7. I think it would be easier in the East, because even the teams that don't make the playoffs year in and year out in the West would probably make consistent trips to the playoffs in the East.    The top teams in the West, top 8, are probably better than any 8 teams that the East could throw back, and the west could probably get away with putting the 9th and 10th best teams instead of 2 of the top 8 and still be a little better.

    Last season teams who didn't make it in the East: Carolina, Buffalo, Florida, Toronto, Islanders, Atlanta, Tampa Bay. I can see Tampa, Carolina and maybe Toronto being better this year.

    In the West these teams didn't make it: Edmonton, Chicago, Vancouver, Phoenix, Columbus, St. Louis, Los Angeles.  I wouldn't be surprised to see any of these teams in the playoffs next season other than St. Louis, and Los Angeles.

  8. I don't think it makes a difference!!
