If the playoffs started today, Canada would have a six in 16, or 37.5%, chance of bringing the Stanley Cup home.
After all, at the moment, there is only the Montreal Canadiens, unsurprisingly, who are not ranked in the playoffs. The CH is more #InTheMix of a big draft choice.
In the East, the Maple Leafs are obviously well ranked, but the Senators are a surprise.
After all, I didn’t expect to see these poor Senators, who have been struggling for ages, to take a step forward in the last few weeks. But with a record of 7-2-1 in 10 games, it is nevertheless the case. Good for the fans there: they deserve it.
The Canadian is in 15th place in the East with 27 points, seven fewer than Ottawa.
But it should also be mentioned that in the West, four of the eight ranked teams play in Canada. I didn’t have that on my bingo card a week before Christmas.
The Jets, obviously, are at the top of the West. As for the Oilers, they are in third place in their division.
We weren’t sure what to expect from the Canucks, but at the moment, they are the first team drafted in the West. I don’t know if it’ll hold up, but oh well.
That said, the surprise is Calgary. The Flames shouldn’t be there, but they are.
The next few weeks should change things and it won’t be for the better. After all, it is impossible for the CH to get back into the playoff picture, which means that it can only be worse for Canada.
Remember, however, that the 1993 CH was the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. I wasn’t born yet. #1996
