NHL (National Hockey League) Eastern Conference preview Over the past six seasons, five different teams have represented the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup final. The Boston Bruins are the closest thing to a powerhouse in the wide-open East. Those Bruins also lost in the second round of last year’s playoffs to the Montreal Canadiens, made no off-season additions and lost right winger Jarome Iginla, enforcer Shawn Thornton and backup goalie Chad Johnson. The New York Rangers and Habs went through changes, and the Tampa Bay Lightning are expected to be better. Don’t forget about the much-improved New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils and maybe even the Florida Panthers. Put 16 teams into a hat, pick out eight and you might have as good a chance as any of choosing which ones make the post-season in the East.
