West Is Best

from John Shannon of Sportsnet,
It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Western Conference is a better brand of hockey. Look at Canada’s Olympic team: 16 of the 23 players are from the West. Or is that because the whole management team is from Western Conference teams; Yzerman and Holland from Detroit, Armstrong from St. Louis, Lowe from Edmonton. But then again Brian Burke’s America has 12 players from the West. (Hey, isn’t that where Burke really cut his teeth as a manager?) The true measure of the balance will be in the final points standings. It could take something in the mid- to upper-90s to get a playoff spot in the West, while it might be only mid-80s in East.
