Rinne is prone to sudden implosions, so they'll have to navigate around those, but I think Nashville is the team to beat in the West. Best defense and finally some talent up front. Rinne is the only real question mark and so far so good.
Chicago was good this year but they weren't the same team that won Cups. The Bruins actually had more true regulation wins than the Hawks. Tough draw with a Preds team that wasn't a wild card #2 level team. I didn't see a dominant sweep coming, but I don't think this was as big an upset as it'll be made to be.
