I know we're only ~48 games into the season, and a lot can happen, but it's hard to imagine anything but a Blackhawks-Capitals final at this point.

I think the Kings would take down the Hawks in a seven games series at this point. Hawks as constructed are too reliant on Crow

The Capitals are very good at having a great regular season and blowing it in the playoffs.

Also, Marvin is so goddamned lazy

I'd agree that the Kings have the best chance to defeat the Hawks in the west, but I think it's silly to say the Hawks are too reliant on Crawford considering they have the same core that's won them 3 championships.

Plus there's the whole "Patrick Kane being 15 points ahead of the next best scorer" thing.

Ya, but this Caps team is better than any they've ever put together. Better than the 2009-10 team, even.

The Hawks possession game hasn't been up to its usual standard, which is the main thing worries me in a potential series against LA. They have a lot of talented players still, but the blue line is not as good as in the years they've won the Cup (even last year they had a solid top 4...this year not so much). They're still top-10 in the league in that category, but they're usually #1 or #2. Nights like tonight where Crow basically bails them out of a period have been a bit too common for my comfort level, and while I think he is good I am not sure he'll be able to keep it up for the rest of the year and into the postseason.

You have to prove you live in the Nashville area with proof of residence to buy tickets. But only when they play Chicago and St.Louis.

The Stars haven't addressed a single one of their issues the entire month where they've been consistently terrible the entire time. Ruff (or his assistants) might just be a bad coach.

On that second Kings goal if that were Carey Price (or Holtby) in net it would have been waved interference on the spot.

So the Eastern Conference has weird rules where they randomly call interference for no reason?

well 1 point on a road trip you deserve 0 is kind of like a positive result.

Lots of these guys can't have any complaints if they are traded off the team. Not many guys earning their spot right now.
