With each passing week the playoff race is getting more intense in the Western Conference. It is becoming increasingly clear that there will be at least a couple good teams that won’t make the playoffs this year in the West.
With that in mind, I spoke with writers from Mile High Hockey, Hockey Wilderness, Defending Big D, Fear the Fin, Anaheim Calling, and of course a fellow writer from Matchsticks and Gasoline.
I asked each site for two reasons why they respective team both would and wouldn’t make this year’s playoffs. I split up the answers into two articles, the second of which will come out on Friday.
