it's defintely either the central or the southeast that's the worst. I just think the gap between the Wings and the rest of the central is greater than the Hurricanes and the rest of the southeast.

agreed, it is a long season and strange things do happen. however at this point and time, Ottawa doesn't seem to have a big weakness in any area (neither does Carolina, I guess, but like Detroit, I never really expect Carolina to sustain the scoring they put up night in night out).
