- LA with Voynov and then Mike Richards being out of shape
- Vancouver, man I don't know what to make of them. They've persevered through injuries all year.
But only we get screwed over end-season with Gio going down. We can still do this but I'm not going to say any of these teams are truly better than us when healthy. But I will concede that all these teams are probably better than Anaheim, maybe even Nashville / Chicago-sans-Kane.
I can't see the East winner beating the West in the cup final.

Didn't the Jets have their own issues with the whole Kane fiasco. Then they lost two games that should have gone to OT. So they've had their own as well.
