There are other series to pay attention to, regardless of the lies others tell.
The Ducks
Of all the teams with really good records, the Ducks might be the least respected. If you use goal differential, or shots, or some other designer metric, the Ducks don't jump out on paper. They just win close games. For the last few years, they've followed the same script. They score, they get decent goaltending and okay defense, and they win a round in the playoffs. All of this while losing either Corey Perry or Ryan Getzlaf to an annual 3-6 week injury.
