The 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs have gone largely to form so far. Three of the four top seeds have advanced to the conference final, and the fourth, Nashville, could make it 4-for-4 with a win in Game 7 tonight. It’s the first time since 2011 that three division champions have made it to the third round, and four division champions have never made it to this point since the NHL went to four divisions in the 1974-75 season.
And partly because the playoffs have largely been as expected - if you’ve picked chalk, chances are you’re in the top half of the leaderboard - the standings for the CC Playoff Pick ‘Em are bunched up very tightly.
