I love the level of parity in this league... the Central is going to be brutal (in a good way), I could see any of those teams making it to the WCF. Caps/Isles seems like one of those really intriguing matchups that usually end up with the more defensive minded team beating the shit out of the softer/offensive minded team, followed by that team vs the Rangers....
I'll kind of miss the Bruins and Kings though.
