Of course the opposite side of that argument could be injuries and guys banged up from the play in round.
Will be interesting to see how the first round of playoffs goes.
Also get to see some teams who might claim to be “built for playoffs” playing in the playoffs that never would have got the opportunity had the regular season played out. Chicago and Montreal. I am not saying that either of those teams are built for playoffs, just examples.

It’s no different to last year when the Avs had to fight their way into the playoffs gaining momentum and the flames coasted.
