Have been hearing a decent amount of buzz (not necessarily on here) that the East is quite a bit stronger then the West. Was bored lol so I wanted to see if this is really true or if the gap between the top and bottom teams in the east is boosting the EC teams points totals. First, I took the EC playoff teams and checked their record against the current WC playoff teams only, and Eastern Conference playoff teams are actually 62-66 (didn't take the the time to record OTL, just included them as losses) against Western Conference playoff teams. Below are the individual teams records:

EC
1. Carolina 11-5
2. Toronto 10-6
3. Tampa 9-7
4. Florida 8-8
4. Boston 8-8
6. Washington 7-9
7. NYR 5-11
8. Pittsburgh 4-12

WC
1. Minnesota 11-5
2. Colorado 10-6
3. Calgary 9-7
3. Dallas 9-7
5. Edmonton 8-8
5. LA 8-8
7. St. Louis 7-9
8. Nashville 4-12

Not necessarily saying the West is stronger than the east, just saying I don't think the East is that much better then the West.

Then, just for fun I decided to look at every current playoff teams record against other playoff teams, no matter the conference. Standings in order of winning %.

EC
1. Toronto 22-14
2. Carolina 22-16
3. Florida 21-16
4. NYR 19-18
5. Washington 17-21
6. Boston 16-20
7. Tampa Bay 17-22
8. Pittsburgh 14-25

WC
1. Colorado 22-14
2. St. Louis 22-16
3. Calgary 19-17
4. Minnesota 20-18
5. Edmonton 20-19
6. Dallas 20-20
7. Nashville 17-22
8. LA

Pretty interesting to see Tampa at 7. but considering the way they have played the past couple games I wouldn't be too worried if I was them. Also surprised to see the Leafs at 1. hopefully the continue this success in the playoffs, but considering their track record in the playoffs and how well Tampa has looked the past couple games I'm not overly optimistic. No real surprises in the West.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PointStamkosVasilevskiy219188</b></div><div>Absolutely. Markstrom (much like Jack Campbell) is a great guy with a heart of gold. I don't think either of the trips-Kylington's OR Hartman's-were intentional though. Looking at them, Kylington's is definitely a trip but it doesn't seem to be intentional, and Hartman definitely held Kylington's stick and caused to him to lose his balance and horrifically crash into the boards (looked like he hit his head-oy), but while the holding of the stick was definitely with intent, I don't think he wasn't trying to hurt or trip Kylington in any way, players hold the opponent's twigs all the time.</div></div>




Yep, hard to say holding the stick is intentionally tying to hurt someone lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Maybe its just the way this was worded, but im kind of confused. Youre saying a lower expected goals against is bad? Pretty sure limiting goals against is a good thing. Also can you explain what xGA% is? I dont see that anywhere on evolving hockey unless you mean xGF% or xGA/60 like AustonMatthews3443 said

I cant really find any metric which suggests that either Makar or Fox is bad defensively:

By EV Defensive WAR Makar is in the 66.7th percentile and Fox is in the 70.1st percentile this season among players with 100+ mins of EV TOI (data from Patrick Bacon, which is where JFresh gets his WAR data)

By Evolving Hockey Makar has -0.05 xGA/60 relative to teammates and Fox has -0.13 xGA/60 relative to teammates (negative here is a good thing)

By Dom's player cards Makar's 5v5 On Ice Defensive Impact is in the 90-100th percentile and Fox's 5v5 On Ice Defensive Impact is in the 70-90th percentile (tbh not really sure what stat this is, it isnt labelled on the cards)</div></div>

I was also so confused lol, never heard of xGA%.
