Teams like the Canes and Rangers run into teams like the Isles and Caps. Both should handily win their series, but the other side to that is sometimes teams who overachieved to get their really have nothing to lose. And they can become dangerous. I look at the Panthers last year. The Blue Jackets or hell even the Blues in 2019. That’s what makes the playoffs the best time of year. I just wish we’d return to the 1-8 format and get rid of the divisional/wild card format.

You are wrong. Dallas was the president’s trophy winner in 98-99 when they won the cup
