Same. Unless I'm wrong about the format, I could see the Panthers in the Conference finals actually. The Metro is going to beat up on itself.
Panthers could take the Isles (probably a toss up) and then Would put up a good fight with Tampa or the Wings. Would be cool to see the two Florida teams battle in a series.
Tampa minus Stamkos is in tough. He wasn't that effective last year in the playoffs, but I think people forget that he is getting all the attention, which opens it up for other players. Without him to distract the defense, it could bea rough road. Pending Drouin's superstar break out of course.
