Before the re-alignment, I considered the Southeast division (containing such powerhouses as Carolina, Atlanta, Florida, Tampa and Washington) as the worst division in the NHL. I cant help but conclude that the Pacific division is now the worst, although probably not as poor as the Southeast was.

It wasn't to long ago that visiting the teams that now make up the Pacific division would be scary proposition, now I think teams come expecting points.

- Edmonton - A stinking pile of hot mess
- Arizona - A slightly better smelling stinking pile of hot mess
- San Jose - Declining Rapidly on their way to Edmonton-ville
- LA - Perennial regular season mid-table finishers
- Vancouver - On the decline, not part of the contenders conversation
- Anaheim - Very solid team, best in the Pacific by far IMHO
- Calgary - Represents all things good and decent in this world.

At this point I think the Central is the best division in Hockey. The worst team in that division (Colorado) is 7 games above 0.500.

The pacific division being so poor has to have helped the flames make the play-offs this year. The flames are 22-6-1 against the pacific, and if I carry the one and divide by pi, this equate to +16 games above 0.500. Coincidently, the flames overall results are +16 games above 0.500. (45-29-7).

Agree? Are the Flames in the worst division in the NHL?
