Eastern Conference<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe East was a little weak this season, with even the top teams like Oshawa selling at the trade deadline. Top seed Peterborough would’ve finished sixth in the West with their 89 points. That said, with so many heavyweight smackdowns on the opposite side of the bracket, whoever finds themselves winning the Eastern Conference could see a very beaten up opponent in the final.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/03\/647839952-300x214.jpg\")
