How often have you seen games where a team just hangs around and hangs around despite being hemmed in their own zone for most of the game and wins it on some flukey bounce in OT...?
Kinda what makes hockey so fun. Unlike basketball, you can't decide a series/season by stacking a team with as many all-stars as possible.

And didn't the Bruins win the Prez Trophy...? 
I mean, it's nice and all...but, the playoffs is a such a different beast. Yesterday's game against the Kings/Hawks was a prime example of how weird playoffs are for this sport...and more so than any other sport too.
Hawks were in complete control of the game until with about less than 2 minutes left in the 2nd where a weird bounce goal goes in. Completely takes the air out of the team...then, 2 ensuing PPs in the 3rd where the Hawks once-formidable PK was up and both result in goals. Game. Set. Match. 6 goals later......
See you in LA.
Hockey can turn in a second.

nothing but, you know, fuck Norway. Btw, the puppies were of the cute adorable variety, they weren't those crappy ugly Canadian puppies you're familiar with.
Furthermore... Being a huge fan of the price is right and former host Bob Barker, Looch used his special skills to neuter all the male puppies free of charge.

YOU said the East has no chance & used regular season stats to back that ish up.
I said I have no idea who will win, then used regular season stats as you did except to show it is meaningless.
You came back with lols & poor attempts at jimmy rustling.
I'm loling all the way to the cup (whith whoever hoists it)
