Last season was a weird one in many respects, including that. It was the first time we've ever seen the playoff race in a conference settled before Christmas, with eight teams padding their win totals while the other eight sold off assets and quit trying. I believe the 16-point gap between 8th and 9th was the largest on record since conference seeding began. It was certainly the first time that all eight playoff teams in a conference had 100 points.

In the previous 10 full (82-game) seasons, going back to '08-09, an average of 9.7 teams finished with 100 points or more, and never more than 12. I don't think it will take 100 points to make the playoffs in either conference this year.

That’s really interesting to look at. Only two guys with 60+ pts? One with 50? Crazy.

A Gibson and Freddie Andersen tandem is insane.

Ducks have been a goaltending factory from 2000 to just recently. They went from starter to starter to starter and plenty of years when their backup goaltender could start on a lot of teams.
