Bruins Nation

Here is what I predict the standings will look like at the end of the season:

1. Pittsburgh Penguins 2. Boston Bruins 3. Carolina Hurricanes 4. New York Rangers 5. Montreal Canadiens 6. New Jersey Devils 7. Ottawa Senators 8. Washington Capitals 9. Tampa Bay Lightning 10. Philadelphia Flyers 11. Buffalo Sabres 12. Florida Panthers 13. Atlanta Thrashers 14. New York Islanders 15. Toronto Maple Leafs	ATLANTIC: 1. Pittsburgh Penguins 2. New York Rangers 3. New Jersey Devils 4. Philadelphia Flyers 5. New York Islanders NORTHEAST: 1. Boston Bruins 2. Montreal Canadiens 3. Ottawa Senators 4. Buffalo Sabres 5. Toronto Maple Leafs SOUTHEAST: 1.

San Jose Sharks 3. Phoenix Coyotes 4. Anaheim Ducks 5. Los Angeles Kings

As I looked through the rosters and off-season moves one last time before making these predictions, I realized that the Western Conference is MUCH stronger than the Eastern Conference. I think during the season I am going to track the East vs West record.
