2010-11 Pucking Awesome NHL Preview: Southeast Division
Saturday, September 18th, 2010 Written by: SamanthaThe Southeast division is one that generally tends to get looked down upon by the rest of the league because it usually fails to send more than one team to the playoffs each season.

Southeast Division Preview
Monday, September 14th, 2009 Written by: A.J.Welcome to the Southeast, home of more Chick-Fil-A’s per square mile than hockey fans. All joking aside, while hockey may still be catching in warm weather markets, this division does have some of the best kept secrets in the NHL. Two of the previous five Stanley Cup champions reside here (Tampa Bay in 2004, Carolina in 2006). Though the most recognizable player is Alex Ovechkin, other great hockey players also make their careers south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Perhaps the best kept secret of this division is while it usually comes down to Washington or Carolina to finish first, any team has a realistic shot to take the crown this year. The Southeast is just as competitive as any other division in the NHL. Here is my take on how the division will shake out this season.
