I agree Jessie. Not sure Jets are a "B" team after they just had a franchise record season. Despite playing in the toughest Division, Jets finished 4th OVERALL and are the top Cdn team in the standings. Theyre also the Best Defensive Shutdown Team in the NHL with under 200 Goals against. Too much focus was placed on Offence when making these picks, but as we all know, its Defence that wins Cups. (below Colorado and Edmonton is just disrespectful)

[@whitneysmiltank]

There's really no point in making a tier list if the entire bottom half is basically empty. You need to lower the standard in that case and make C more relevant as the new B, for example. You then have more wiggle room to separate teams in B and A instead of putting 90% of the teams on the same line.

All the love for the Avs that got embarrassed last year by the Kraken, who had the best 5v5 team in the league last year. Well, guess who has that distinction this year? The Jets scored the most 5v5 and has the best 5v5 goal differential in the league. Also, no way you can put the Avs above the Jets when Giorgiev is easily the worst goalie in the dance.

[@-gumby-3381]

@@Bomber_Boi Avs are probably more a B but Nate is that much of a game changer, so just for that reason they are A.

[@Bomber_Boi]

I don't buy it. Look at last playoffs. If MacK is so much of a game breaker, how did an inferior team like the Kraken beat a 1 seed? That Avs team was better than this year's version, and the Jets are better than the Kraken this year. Also, they kept saying you can't take the season into account because it's a different beast, in which the Jets dominated the avs. Then in the very next breath they draw on the Avs past success over two post seasons ago...

I like the personalities and premise of the show. But these guys are still mainly eastern hockey fans. Very lnsightful opinions on teams that they watch. But rely on stats and other media’s insight for teams they don’t. Don’t get me wrong. People need to sleep. But if your show is going to represent all fans in this country. Put the work in. Or just be honest with your knowledge/opinions. Or lack there of.

[@danreed2189]

I don't see the premise for your complaint. The guys chose Dallas as the top team, and 3 out of 4 took Western teams to win the cup. That is not evidence of an East Coast bias. The second point I have to make is that their comments were just their opinion, and in case you didn't notice, opinions among them vary widely. As should be expected. I am unsure what you thought they should have done differently.

[@jordanstevens4842]

@@danreed2189 Well Dan, let me explain. My comments weren’t about who they were choosing to win. It’s being on a national platform(TSN) and having a show that is supposed to be for all Canadian hockey fans. Yet they choose to not put the work in or just straight cater to one particular area of the country. This is there full-time jobs. So either put the effort into knowing all of the teams. Good or bad. And having a actual opinion based on full knowledge. Everyone has their opinions. But they should be educated opinions.

The reason you feel unsure about the Oilers is because they're a team of individuals, instead of a group of individuals making a team. Also, they might be too soft to win the Cup. Oilers Fan since '81. Hoping, but not confident.;( Are the Canucks the most disrespected team in the NHL this year? I think so.

"Dallas and Carolina are really good teams, but they lack star power." Because YOU don't talk about them lmao. You talk about the same 5 players endlessly. You actually have the platform to raise this. Wyatt Johnston is TWENTY years old and he has 32 goals. If the 2021 draft was redone today, Johnston might legitimately go #1. HE would certainly go top 3. And he's one of the most entertaining and creative players to watch on a nightly basis in the NHL. His personality is hilarious too. Why isn't he a star? Because (ironically) he plays for the Dallas Stars, and channels like Bardown do not talk about their individual talents.

@@DrTieYT honestly I gained a lot of respect for them in their deep playoff run. I still believe Skinner isn’t the guy gonna win you a cup, or even in the top 10 goalies in the league, but that team in general proved me wrong and shoved they have more grit than I originally expected. They proved they have what it takes to get it done, just ran into a better team with an actual goalie. No longer frauds in my mind, but if they fumble this season then probably will go back to my original thoughts on them being the Toronto of the west

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

Based Jessie ⚡⚡⚡⚡. Although I'm a Tampa fan, I would have put them in C. Vasy has had a down year after his back surgery right before the season and their defense has been an issue (even before the Sergachev injury). Also, their Bottom 6 is completely dead weight on offense. I will say that if the Power Play can be automatic (as it's shown to be at times), they can beat anyone. Their Penalty Kill has been sneaky strong this year as well.
