The demise of the California teams is an annual prediction here on CP - yet it never seems to happen.
Keep in mind the Ducks have played a lot of this season with major injuries - the Sharks remain ahead of the Flames despite our recent fortunes - and LA is in the midst of a dreadful tailspin yet are still within 2 points of a playoff spot.
I know you disagree that the Central teams will take the 2 WC spots - but that is how I see it - which means Calgary has to beat 2 of the 3 California teams to make the playoffs. Its gonna be a close one.
