Northwest becoming the North-worst?

When looking at the Northwest Division one has to wonder what happened.
Just two years ago I'd put any team in the whole division up against any other team in the league. Now it appears what was once the grittiest, tightest division in the NHL has devolved into mediocrity.
Calgary? matador defense. Vancouver? forget 'em. The Oil? Still too young. The Avs? too old. The Wild? no scoring.
Makes a guy almost think about cheering for an Eastern Conference team…OK, it’s not that bad, but it’s getting there.

"Last year we came in as maybe an underdog, quietly. Got off to the right start just because teams weren't really ready for us. But this time around that's not the case. They realize we are a good team and they're ready to go against us, right off the get-go."
