Sure seems like Boston is a juggernaut regardless. Of course, history has not been kind to President's Trophy winners, but they're so far out in front it seems like they're a good bet to buck the trend.

Yeah, the Bruins are nuts... they were picked as a wild card by most and to run away with the Atlantic of all divisions is even crazier. And if it was seeded 1-8, they could have played TB and Toronto, but will only play one of them now (not that the Metro is a slouch).

I wonder how them not winning the Stanley Cup would be viewed in light of what they were predicted to do vs them setting a points record. If they were expected to be this good then I could see it as one of the biggest disappointments of all time.
