reminder:the Central Division has been home to the Stanley Cup,two of the last four years... that just means that the Central Division will beat up on each other all season,and there is a possibility that four teams in division(Detroit,Chicago,Nashville,and maybe,St. Louis) will make playoffs,like the Pacific Division(San Jose,Anaheim,Phoenix,and Los Angeles)had four teams make the playoffs,last season,and if Dallas had beaten Minnesota,in last game of season(they lost,5-3),they would have eliminated Chicago(then the defending Stanley Cup champions)from the playoffs,and they would made the playoffs,too...
