One real team, and 7 pretenders.
Get to the conf. finals and anything can happen from there.
"Get in and anything can happen" might actually be true for a couple years. But it's still a terrible plan.

The Flames are the real pretenders here. What’s their playoff record over their last 4 playoff series?
4-16.
Absolutely putrid.
Based on the history of their past playoff series and this season’s performance, I don’t give the Flames a chance against the Avalanche, the Knights and even the Jets and the Oilers. Obviously we hate the Oilers around here, but how less denial and a little intellectual honesty here.
The Jets are an extremely well run organization, they draft well and their GM makes few mistakes. The Oilers have 2 elite superstars centers and a swath of contracts coming up that’ll give them a lot of cap space over the next couple years to fill out their wings.
I’d rather start the rebuild now then watch this goal-less trash we’re witnessing. If someone can tell me where the goals will come from next season, then I implore you to try to change my mind.
