Watch the Eastern rep get to the Cup finals and sweep it. And I'll acknowledge a bias, but I just have not been impressed by the East. It seems that each of these games are just an exercise in sucking a little less than your opponent. Poor puck movement, intermittent effort, backup goalies kicking ass. I mean c'mon, the Lightning are without their TWO best players and they're just marching bravely forward - are we really to believe that they're just that damn good? No way; the whole conference just seems weak as shit.

I don't watch hockey as much as I used to (although it's hard to avoid when you live in Toronto), but this is my impression whenever I do.
