do you think the President's Trophy is undervalued? I think we are a bit too playoff-obsessed in the US and Canada when judging the quality of teams, especially in hockey. Best record out of 32 teams over an 82 game season is hard and a good test for quality. You can have complete dogs do well in the playoffs, like last year's Panthers.
I don't...the regular season is just a seeding process...underdogs just find ways to win in the playoffs...
The 2012-2018 Nats are a good example of choking dogs...be it in regular or postseason...
