Top team in the Western Conference


Recommended Posts

Just a question of which teams you think of, (besides the Canucks of course), are the Wests top powerhouses.

Now that the season has started, the Blackhawks seem to be playing like the team that won the Stanley Cup, Hossa is on fire, Kane seems to be reinterested, maybe Crawford steals a game for them here or there, but with all that firepower, watch out.

Same goes for St. Louis, I envy how this team has such a stacked lineup. On top of that they have a 1 & 1A goalie tandem considered one of the best in the league.

Does anyone see Edmonton & Minnesota actually joining them this year?? (So much hype before the start of the season)

Does Detroit still have it?? Too early to tell.

Hawks, Blues, Kings when they have their full lineup (Kopitar, Mitchell, Green all out) are all definitely the teams to beat.

Teams that have improved and may make a run for a playoff spot: Minnesota, Edmonton, possibly Calgary (doubt it)

Teams that have regressed: Detroit (you can't replace Lidstrom, just not possible), Nashville,

Teams that more or less are around the same level they were last year: Anaheim, Colorado, Phoenix, San Jose, Dallas (lost Ribeiro, got Roy and Jagr)

The only team that has improved but still is pretty terrible: Columbus
