POLL: Which NA team will miss playoffs?

[hedgehog337 3,480]

Once again, the NA conference is shitting on the EU, like it was in S49. FA were thinking Cologne isn't attractive enough and like Riga isn't worthy for the two-peat, so there it is - the four-way battle for the NA and Continental Cup. Every NA team (except for QUE) has the chance to win it all, but only three teams are going into the post season. So there are our four teams:

 

Calgary - solid team, but they could use more depth to have more chance. Also, their def line is so-so. 

New York - good offensive line, but Kopralkov isn't a championship goalie IMO. Also, their defense leaves a lot to be desired (the best def Digital isn't even 500 TPE guy).

Seattle - fine team with depth, but without a superstar player it might be hard to advance. 

Toronto - Clegane is gonna do his thing, but without a depth this team might fail. 

 

It's hard to predict which team is gonna be unlucky, so I'll leave it to you people. And maybe we will find an answer why the EU conference became so garbage nowadays. I even heard that Davos' GM wants to compete for the finals with his 4-5 players on roster. Wow. 

 

 

1 TPE goes to Petenis

Just like S49, Seattle.

 

In b4 midseason Kyanon trade.

This guy knows Quebec's winning the cup.

I looked back at the poll I did back in S49 on the same subject and funnily enough that was also Americans and Bears tied at the top again. I understood the Americans votes back then (we only had Kerkko Hyvarinen and Thomas Duddy on D and AVB in net at season start) but it's funny to see how wrong it was in hindsight.

Backup goalies win championships. These have none!

To be fair, you guys did get eliminated first

 

 

(but yeah, there was obviously no playoff race to speak of)

True, Toronto is pretty shit.

Told him to tag along but he went for the money. but hey it worked out for SWC3. I think him and unassisted will be a better pairing

Yep,  offensively not bad.

 

That defense and goalie though. May get lit up like a Christmas tree,

D ain't horrible. G also not horrible but not championship calibre

That's what I was saying. D isn't anything great, below average.

 

But Forwards are great. I really think NYA's 1st line for sure will do major damage.

I think the plan is to keep the puck in the offensive zone the entire time.

No I'm just noting how similar it could be compared to this roster.

it's still early my guy

 

(though I still stand by my Toronto vote)

[Tagger 2,722]

Yeah, still way too early. I remember Seattle won 10 of their first 13 games in Season 42, and they ended up missing the playoffs by 14 points.

 

I was the other voter for Toronto I believe, and right now, they're playing as I expected they would right now, losing to the vast majority of teams also competing but beating those who aren't comfortably. Be interesting to see if that continues.

Still is early, but I don't agree with SEA missing though.

Doesn't mean we can't be happy!
