TSN analyst Mike Johnson weighed in on whether the Canucks or Canadiens have a better chance of making the playoffs. He stated that he believed the competition in the Western Conference would be fiercer.
Johnson was discussing the prospects of four mid-table teams from Canada: the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators in the East versus the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames in the West.
Speaking with Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Frank Corrado on TSN’s OverDrive show on Tuesday, the hockey pundit said:
“I guess what it comes down to is, I have faith in the top teams in the West…Vegas, Edmonton, LA and Van are going to be really good and it's going to be Dallas and Colorado and Winnipeg and Minnesota. I don't think Calgary beats any of those teams.”
