'(The NHL wants) parity. Well, they definitely got it in the West.'
Vegas Golden head coach Bruce Cassidy’s club endured a recent 2-6-2 stretch to tumble down the Pacific Division standings following a torrid start.
“It’s game on,” he said. “I don’t think you can have a bad stretch. We’re in one right now that we’ve got to work our way out of. But it’s good for hockey and it keeps you on your toes.Dallas forward Jason Robertson likened it to last season when the East’s top-8 seeds were realistically set months before the playoffs as a fight down to the wire waged in the West.
Calgary centre Nazem Kadri said a West playoff race with all sorts of scenarios on the table will make for appointment viewing. “The most fun that way,” he said. “We haven’t even played close to our best. That’s a positive sign.”Oilers centre Leo Draisaitl is looking for his group to make a second-half push to create separation.
“You’d like to be the team to nail that down a little bit,” he said. “It’s open, but I think we’re gonna be the that’s gonna close it down.”And once the West’s is set, the road to the Stanley Cup final should be equally wide-open as the East’s heavyweights slug it out on the opposite side of the playoff bracket.
