Believe it or not, we're roughly halfway through the NHL season.

Right now, 10 point separate the top of the east (Lightning) from the bottom (Blue Jackets). 10 points! It's so close that a few games could completely change the race in the east.

Meanwhile, in the west, the Avs just suffered their THIRD regulation loss after 41 games.

What a season!

Initially, I thought you were talking about the teams currently in a playoff spot, but no, this is the whole eastern conference - wow! Caps are currently trailing the Pens by 1 pt. That needs to change. Let's Go Caps!

Yeah, ALL teams in the east are separated by 10 points.

Think about that - the Jackets could go on a short run and be at the top pretty easily. The Lightning could go on a bender and be at the bottom just as easily. It's THAT tight.
