Why is the Northwest Division so tight? Two point difference from first to last? Thats INSANE!!!
The 2nd tightest division in the NHL is the Atlantic...and their separated by 11 points!! Is it because the teams in the Northwest Suck...or....Kicks ***?

Northwest Division sucks. If Vancouver wins tonight, they'll go from the 8th place to the 3rd place in standings. I thought Northwest Division is supposed to be good. Some say the toughest division. But if you look at the way some of the teams are playing right now, they're mediocre.

Well in the Atlantic I know it is they are that good. I mean the 11 is only because you include the Flyers who had a bad start. It is only 5 when you drop them. Usually it is teams that are that good. One of the real ways to look at it though is look at the records, not how close the "points" for standings are. If they were being beat by everyone else and the leader had like 14 points then that doesn't mean they are that good. It means they stink. Being about even and having them all that close is meaning you are good. In cases like the Atlantic they keep playing each other and no one is so dominate that they can win all the games because the other teams are that good.

The NorthWest Division is mediocre. if Edmonton(NW Div leader), were in the Pacific Div, they would be in 4th place. As far as the Atlantic Division, the same applys. If NY Islanders werE in the North East, they also would be 4th. So both Divisions are Average.
GO KINGS GO!

Thats good to see, creates better games especially when so many of the games are played inside each division

Its about Gary Bettman and money..Does't matter if the games suck, it matters that they suck equally, and suck profitably.
