So we are just over half way through the season and playoff partners are being set. Where do things stand now?

Eastern Conference

1. Buffalo Sabres vs 8. New Jersey Devils
2. Philadelphia Flyers vs 7. Washington Capitals
3. Toronto Maple Leafs vs 6. Detroit Red Wings
4. Carolina Hurricanes vs 5. Pittsburgh Penguins

Tampa Bay, Ottawa and Montreal sit just outside the race and are within 4 points of the final spot. Even tighteris the actual 1-8 race itself where only 3 points seperate 3rd thru 8th place. Any kind of streak whether wins or losses could mean in or out of the race.
Who do you like in the current match-ups?

Western Conference

1. Chicago Blackhawks vs 8. Anaheim Ducks
2. Calgary Flames vs 7. St Louis Blues
3. Colorado Avalanche vs 6. Minnesota Wild
4. Phoenix Coyotes vs 5. Edmonton Oilers

This Conference is still extremely tight and until recently where a few teams have put some distance between themselves and the bottom of the order there are still 3 or 4 teams that are currently out of a playoff position that could sneak up to 7th or 8th if they get on a hot streak, but that streak better happen soon. Columbus, LA and Dallas are on the outside looking in and need to get hot soon or end up out. 8 pts seperate 3rd from 8th in the West, get out your shotguns its going to be a stagecoach ride!
What do you think about the west match-ups?

Now is the time to decide, am I in, or am I out, what are your chances of moving up 2 or 3 spots or falling out of the race?
Trade deadline is not far away.
