And the 2013-14 President's Trophy Winner IS

I need more of those award icons man. 


So this is what the President's Trophy race looks like with 2 weeks left gents

• 31 points
• 28 points (Central Division 7-0 Division record)
• 28 points (Central Division 2-4 Division record)

It's a 3 dog race!

There are 3 teams my Hawks concerned about as the playoffs roll around





In no particular order.
Sens are getting their starting G back but have lots of scorers up front.
Wings have a stacked lineup and multiple goalies to throw into the lineup any given night.
Ripper's Blues have been absolutely killing with a balanced roster and a monster goalie.

Common thread for all 3 teams is goaltending. They live and die by their goalies and because of that Wings might be the scariest team heading into the playoffs with Nabby rounding into form and Howard getting more stable (or so it seems). And now Desjardins might have a backup gig going in Tampa if Bishop is still hurt after the Olympics.

The "safe" bet is the team currently in the lead with 2 wks left:

Pigs and Freak, I'm going to jump the gun here and just announce the President's Trophy winner for 2013-14.

With 33pts, 3pts more than their closest pursuers and with only 1 week left to play out the regular season, the Ottawa Senators are the 2013-14 Franchise NHL President's Trophy winner! 

Congratulations Dickie Dunn / OTTAWA SENATORS !

  Congrats

Great regular season especially given the super tough Atlantic Division your Sens are in this yr.
Enjoy the Trophy because the playoffs are around the corner and its a whole new season.

Note to DD/:OTT: ... rumour around hockey circles is Washington Capitals are potentially looking to upgrade their goaltender. That might make Braden Holtby less useful during your Sens playoff run.

Looks like Holtby has a timeshare deal going on in Washington with Halak. That should make for an interesting nightly lineup situation for your Sens!

Kudos DD!
I remember when you started rebuilding the Sens a couple of yrs ago by ripping out the guts of the club.

Thank you!
That Presidents' Trophy Award notation on my Sens page looks absolutely terrific. I am hoping to add another notation to that Awards section this April.
