NHL schedule-makers should be patting
themselves on the back today. It’s the final day of the season, all 30 teams are
facing off, and so many playoff implications are yet to be determined. All 16 spots have already been claimed, but there is so little wiggle room in the
standings; some teams could find themselves either winning their division, or
dropping to 8th in their respective conference. Florida and Washington each
find themselves in that awkward predicament, battling for the Atlantic.

In the
west, San Jose, LA, and Phoenix are in a rare three-way battle for the Pacific
division. The amount of possible outcomes is enough to make even the most
astute puckhead's brain hurt. What all of this means is that the dream of parity that the NHL sold fans on during the last lockout, is now a reality.
