But as far as Eastern Conference goes, with Florida out of the mix this year,

Sure, Tampa's got experience, but they're a little bit beat up.

I know they got goaltending in Vasilevsky, but I think any team that qualifies for the playoffs this year has got a chance.

Even the Boston Bruins, like Marco Sturm has done a great job in there.

They've got Swayman.

Buffalo's hot.

Carolina, you got to think sooner or later, Carolina is going to break through, don't you?

Or is that just going to be the old San Jose Sharks where they just never do?

But I think anybody that's in the East has a legitimate chance this year.

Kipper, I can't remember a year.

where you're sitting down doing your hockey pool and you're trying to figure out who your four teams are and you're going to pick players, I don't really have a clue this year.

I think it's that wide open.

Yeah, yeah.

Who are they most likely to match up with in the first round, Barney?

Yeah, yeah, and the Ducks are young, but you know what?

The Ducks can get some sneaky good goaltending from time to time.

I know the save percentages aren't that good.

I still don't trust Edmonton's goaltending, to tell you the truth, and I'm sure they're probably going to score enough to win in the first round, and McDavid, he's a freak, and he's going to will that team, but yeah, I'm with you on that.

They've got such talent, but...

I don't know sooner or later, like maybe one of these years they're going to get knocked off early, but it's, it's so tough.
