It sucks that no Canadian team made the playoffs this year, but the future is bright:
- Winnipeg is loaded
- Calgary is headed up, faster than expected
- Toronto has a hill to climb but has good management and the right approach
- As no good as Edmonton is they will figure it out eventually
- Not sure which direction Ottawa or Montreal are heading
- Vancouver? yeah, ok
The dominant Pacific and Central teams are aging and the East is more wide open. I think we could easily see three or more Canadian teams being dominant around 2020 and have a good run of playoff and cup success.
Here's hoping for a Canadian Decade
