I agree. All this shows is how much this team needs Larkin, stirs the drink on ice and in terms of leadership.
The team I’m worried about (only because I have Vasy, despise them in real life) is Tampa. Just seem lost in terms of structure and Vasy not bailing them out at all like he normally would. That loss v Cgy on home ice was bruuuuutal.

The other reason I would NOT bet against the Wings is their schedule. It is so easy these last 19 games - they play the Hurricanes, Panthers, Rangers, Preds, Leafs and Bolts 1x, all other games v non-playoff teams going nowhere, including a 2-game set v Canadiens to finish off the season. I’d put good $ on them finishing strong.
Contrast with the Flyers - Bolts tonight and Sharks Tuesday, then Bruins 2x, Leafs 2x, and Hurricanes Panthers Rangers, brutal stretch. Then a face off with the Isles April 1 which could have huge playoff implications.
Then the Isles with an easy stretch coming up and overall reasonably light schedule though not as easy as the Wings. And they’re hot and with Roy there I can see them sustaining it.
Bolts meanwhile have a tough road trip coming up but balanced with a soft stretch in April, and I cannot see that team missing the playoffs - too much skill and pride and good coaching.
So my prediction:
East - Isles overtake Flyers for 3-seed in Metropolitan, Wings and Bolts maintain their wild card position. NYR and Fla take their divisions. First round:
Panthers v Bolts (!!)
NYR v Wings (original 6)
Leafs v Bruins (ditto)
Isles v Canes
West - i’ll have to think about that! I think Preds and Knights/Kings should be good for the wild card with the only threat being Calgary. They have a tough set of games next 4 v Panthers, Canes, Avs, VGK but then it eases up considerably. If they get 4-5 points out of that stretch they could be a factor. But it’s unlikely.
Pacific should be easy - it’s Vancouver no 1 and then Edmonton with the Knights taking 3rd. Central is going to be a barn burner- Dallas heating up and looking dangerous, Colorado and the Jets arguably had the best trade deadlines, all bets are off but i’m going to say Dallas takes the no 1 seed and the Jets have to face the Avs on a brutal first round series.
So, first round:
Canucks v Kings
Stars v Preds (that will be a physical series)
Oilers v Knights (ditto!)
Avs v Jets (threeto!)
