While the Eastern Conference of the NHL has the three best players in the league -- Geno Malkin, Sidney Crosby and that Russian guy for the Capitals, it's pretty clear that the talent level in the Western Conference is ten times greater than it is in the East.
TSN's SportsCentre (That's Canadian for "SportsCenter") compiled the Top 10 plays from the NHL so far. And while the Eastern Conference is represented, highlighted by Tim Thomas' ridiculous save against New Jersey, the Western Conference, as always, steals the show.
