Barrie 900 Report post Posted October 26, 2021 I know it's only 7 games, but I've been thinking about this, as I see the Maple Leafs continue to struggle. I think we can all agree Florida, Tampa, and Boston will take the top 3 spots, but I'm wondering if 4th is up for grabs? The Leafs are a mess, and the pressure is only going to get worse and worse for their top 4 forwards, coach, and GM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted October 26, 2021 I dont think Florida and Boston are locks either. Not saying the Wings slip in there, but I think the division is a crapshoot based on the season so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Euro_Twins 4,485 Report post Posted October 27, 2021 I definitely don't see Boston as a lock. And if coach quenville gets fired over the hawkcock scandal, then I don't see florida as a lock either. But I don't see the wings making the playoffs, in fact I think making the playoffs would do more harm than good for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akakabuto 1,842 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 Tampa, Florida and Boston are locks. The fourth spot might very well go to the Metro this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the Leafs to lose though. Florida could lose their HC. That could negatively affect their performance this year. I really dont see Boston as a lock either. The only "lock" in the Atlantic is TB IMO. I still think the Wings finish 5th tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No thank you. I'll take winning the Cup over drafting in the top 5. Let's win the whole thing. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 Tampa and Florida I feel are the only locks, with Florida winning the division. Toronto will get their s*** together at some point. They have a great regular season team. If any "top 4" team in the division drops, it'll be Boston. They are a Bergeron injury away from no top 6 center. They won't be a basement team by any means, but their roster this year is very capable of running into some serious slumps if Bergeron can't play 82 games.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted October 30, 2021 The Division is getting more interesting by the day. I know it's early, but what's with Buffalo? Also, we've come back twice now, down 2-0, to get 3 pts against Washington and Florida Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtlantaHotWings 1,126 Report post Posted November 10, 2021 HYPE TIME .. Ignore games played for a moment...who expected us to be here in the division and playing some entertaining hockey If you were to take the GP into account putting everyone @ 14. Assume everyone wins their games in hand for arguments sake...still respectable start... Florida - 23 Boston - 20 Tampa - 19 Toronto - 17 Detroit - 16 Buffalo -16 Ottawa - 11 Montreal - 7 1 number10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 91 of Ryans 3,019 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 We're at the point now that even if you use "Points %" the Wings are the 2nd wild card. Good chance it doesn't last, but still pretty wild. Tough week coming up with a back-to-back on the road vs St Louis and Colorado. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
