We have to pick up an enforcer and a good 3rd line center.

Really bad timing on the Ruutu surgery. Not sure why they even waited this long... Oh well

Jonathan Quick (MVP!)

Yea there is no reason to have an asterisk - nobody is taking away what Miami did in the NBA last year, let alone whichever team hoists the Cup this year. Winning it this year would say a ton about the coaching staff too.

It will be a horse race b/t the Canes, Caps and Panthers for the division, but I think they take it.

Well to me at least, there would be one. Even if the Canes win it. There absolutely is a reason to have one. Almost half the season was canceled. To not think there should be one is to think those missed games aren't important and if the higher ups think the same thing, then they might as well just cut those games out for good from now on. How many times have you seen teams competing right to the very end to clinch a playoff spot in the NHL? It happens all the time. I don't really care what the media thinks because most of the time they aren't the ones to look for in order to make conclusions about sports.

Your argument makes no sense... teams will still be fighting until the last game for a playoff spot. They are playing a 50 game season and the best team will win. No need to put a stupid asterisk beside their name. That's just trying to take away from the accomplishment from some of these guys.

Also to the LA fan, you better hope Quick has another MVP year or you aren't repeating. I think NYR finally gets over the hump this year.
