LAST WORD RADIO

Alex and Chace are back and with news that the league is getting ready to start, they decide to start their yearly previews. However, with things being so different, the divisions are yet to be set. One division, they do know, is the all-Canadian division. So, the guys decide to take a look at that. Today they break down the NHL Canadian Division for the upcoming season. Breaking down all the teams and tiering them on the likelihood of each of them making playoffs. 

They start with the teams that are very likely to miss. Talking about why, if that's okay, and what would have to go right this season. Then, they look at the teams on the bubble. Competing for a spot but maybe not the division title. Finally, they look at the teams that they believe should compete for the division lead. With such a close division, there is a lot of overlap. Overall, it's very hard to give any definitive ranking, however, they do their best to break down why every team may or may not find success this season.
