When just last season, last place in January Blues went on to win the cup and every top seed lost in the opening round, and a couple of those bottom seeds went on deep runs, I can no longer subscribe to the Thanksgiving standings being a set in stone indicator of how things will finish.
There has never been a more wide open and unpredictable NHL than right now. Top seeds no longer feel like shoo ins to do anything.
Just get in.
