HockeyTime.netE così si conclude la regular season e si archivia il primo anno della nuova era della nhl. Regular season che vede i Red wings stringere in mano la President Cup dato che con 121 punti hanno il miglior record della lega professionistica. Quest’anno sarà ricordato per l’ennesimo flop dei Penguins nonostante le promese di riscatto da parte di Lemieux e della brutta figura dei Capitals che nonostante si sono trovati tra le mani un gioiellino come Ovechkin non sono riusciti a fare un granchè. I penguins l’anno prossimo potranno contare su Malkin che sia la carta giusta? Brutta sorpresa per i canucks che purtroppo non riescono ad arrivare ai playoff per soli tre punti. Mentre deludente anche sulla costa ovest la stagione nell città degli angeli. Ottima la sorpresa dei Predators che si candidano ad essere la sorpresa dei playoff. Quindi arrivederci all’anno prossimo ed ora è solo tempo di play off.
