The western conference is lucky the league's crummy system denied a darkhorse team that would've been a dream killer in the playoffs.
I think they would've upset one if not more teams.
They rose to the occasion against better opponents, had proper tough guys and were essentially denied by stupid 3 on 3 and skills comps which don't exist in the 16 team tourney.
It's a damn shame. A team like the Jets on the other hand will be your standard first round fodder
Playoffs are just better with a Sutter team in them. Too much pansy all-skill hockey otherwise.
It will be terrible hockey, and now hardly different from regular season powerplay fests that prioritize entertainment over blood, sweat & tears.
