I think the most surprising thing with the Canadian teams and more specifically the Oilers, Canucks, and Leafs is the meltdowns they have had. Edmonton started right away and have not crawled back. Vancouver and Toronto both have lost at least 7 games in a row in regulation to go from playoff positions to being on the outside looking in.
The Sens surprise me mostly due to how well the played under Maclean since he took over. The identity he was able to establish is gone. Winnipeg continues to spin their wheels and I am not surprised Setoguchi and Frolik did not put them over the top.
