So none of us are very good predictors; These are the questions posted by CC in October:

 

Who will win the Hart? Few for Ovechkin, few more for Jagr and also votes for Kipper and Iginla. Max was probably the closest with Thornton.

 

Vezina? Five of us said Kipper. Other votes included Lundqvist and Vokoun. TakerHart likely will take this one. He had Brodeur.

 

Calder? We'll rule out Staal, Wolski, and Kessel (who was picked by 3). King had Kopitar; LightingFlik, CC and myself had Malkin. We'll see.

 

Ross? Two with Ovechkin, single votes for Selanne, Jagr, and Jordan Staal. Honourable mention to Nskie, Max and King with Thornton, but only LightningFlik had Sid the Kid.

 

Richard? Cheechoo, Iginla, Jagr and Nash all had single votes. Two for Gaborik, and four for Ovechkin. I had a 3-way tie, but only I said Heatley, who was the closest.

 

Best/worst offseason move and biggest disappointment etc. are pretty subjective. But worth noting: I had Ottawa and Pittsburgh as being the most disappointing (d'oh), Max and Nskie both called Chara to Boston the best move, Ducks getting Pronger got a lot of ink for best move, Nskie also called Shero to Pittsburgh as the best move. Nskie ALSO called the Cup Hangover for last year's finalists (first time ever, mind you) and finally, every single poster called DiPietro's contract (in some form) the worst - The length will almost certainly be regretted, but this one isn't so bad yet.

 

In the playoffs that weren't last year?

King had 2 (Vancouver and Minnesota) of 5 (Columbus, Boston, Florida). I had Minny correct and Columbus incorrect. Max also batted .500 with Atlanta and Boston. TakerHart was 1 of 4 with Atlanta, but missed on Boston, Washington and Phoenix. Flik was right with Pittsburgh. Baron was well off with St. Louis. Nskie was 1 of 3 with Minny, but missed Boston and Columbus. Quinn and CanadianChris both were right with Atlanta, wrong on L.A. I’ll give this one a draw to me, Max, Quinn, Flik and CC.

 

In last year, out this year?

Another 2 of 5 for King (Colorado and Edmonton, wrong on Dallas, TB, NJ). I again did the half-trick with Tampa and Colorado. Max also hit 500 again, with Tampa and Montreal. Takerhart had 1(Montreal) of 3 (Tampa,Carolina). Flik was wrong with the Ducks. Scuba missed out on the Rangers. Nskie got all 3 in Montreal, Colorado and Edmonton. Quinn again was halfright (Montreal and Tampa). Chris was spot on with the Avs and Habs. Max and CC take this one.

 

Division winners?

King, Max, and I all picked: CAR, NYR, BUF, SJ, NAS, CAL – 1 of 6 apiece

Takerhart: CAL, ANH, NAS, WAS, NYR, BOS – 1 of 6.

Flik: NYR, BOS, CAR, NAS, SJ, CAL – 1 of 6.

Baron: EDM, SJ, DET, NJ, MTL, TB – 2 of 6.

Nskie: OTT, NJ, ATL, NAS, CAL, ANA – 3 of 6.

Harley: PHI, OTT, ATL, DET, COL, DAL –2 of 6.

CC: ANA, CAL, NAS, CAR, BUF, NJ – 2 of 6.

 

Bold predictions?The less said of these, the better, except for:

TakerHart called Pittsburgh to make the playoffs. King’s wasn’t bad (and miiiight still be correct) by calling Malkin to not win the Calder. Flik picked Nashville to make the finals, which could also still happen. CC’s claim that Phoenix would be in the playoff hunt until today, Max calling for Chicago to get in the playoffs, and Baron’s call of Crosby with only 60 points were all pretty outrageous in hindsight…

 

 

I still have the playoff picks saved, but I’ll post them in June. Of all the finalists we picked, only CC and King picked teams that wound up qualifying for the playoffs.

(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (8) Calgary Flames - Flames in 6

(4) Nashville Predators vs. (5) San Jose Sharks - Sharks in 7 - This will be the most entertaining series in the West.

(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) Dallas Stars - Canucks in 6

(2) Ducks vs. (7) Minnesota Wild - Ducks in 6

 

(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (8) New York Islanders - Sabres in 4

(4) Ottawa Senators vs. (5) Pittsburgh Penguins - Senators in 7. Crosby scores a hat trick in the first game to win a blow-out, Roberts scores the winners in game 5 and 6 in OT. This will be the most entertaining series this spring by far.

(3) Atlanta Thrashers vs. (6) New York Rangers - Rangers in 5.

(2) New Jersey Devils vs. (7) Tampa Bay Lightning - Bolts in 7.

 

Finals: Calgary over Buffalo in 6.

Sabres will lose to Ottawa or Random Western Team in painful fashion. This is a guarantee. You can change my avatar and signature to whatever you please if Buffalo ever wins a championship in a major sport while I live.

Jack Adams is probably going to Ruff with Nolan not too far behind. How many of you guys predicted the Isles to finish dead last? Every expert did as well....Nolan deserves tons of credit.

 

BTW, as an Isles fan, I do think Buffalo will win the series, but if DiPietro comes back, it will be a lot closer then some of you think. For the past 2 months before he got hurt, he was one of the Top goalies in the league with the Islanders getting points in 14 straight games or something to that extent.

 

I'll go Buffalo in 6 (def could see 7) w/Dipietro.....if he's not there, Buffalo in 5

Pens in 7 in one of the best series you will ever see

Rangers unfortunately in 6

Lightning in 6, Can't stand to watch the Devils system in the playoffs

 

Detroit in 7 or Babcock gets fired

Nashville in 6...great series

Canucks in 6...should be a great series

Ducks in 5

 

Every series should be fun to watch except the Devils. The Islanders could be game for the Sabres but they need Rick.

It's unlikely DiPietro returns for the Buffalo series. The Isles completely shut him down once they found out about the concussions, and he hasn't even been back on the ice yet. With the crazy contract he has, they can't risk it... If he was to play this series in full health, he definitely could have stolen it. But, no worries.

That's not fucking necessary.

 

Calgary = Went to the finals two years ago, with essentially the same team. Iginla, Conroy, Gelinas, Regehr and Kiprusoff are there. Granted, Commodore's not there anymore. But Tanguay, Huselius and Phaneuf are. The wings no longer have Yzerman, Shanny or the President's Cup. Know what else they don't have? A win over Calgary the last time they met in the playoffs.

 

I'm not saying Detroit will be a cakewalk, but you shouldn't have insulted Canadian fans.

Who wouldn't have trouble saying that the Kings are a playoff team.

 

Wow, this post got way delayed for some reason.

 

I don't think that picking Calgary is a bad pick and honestly, I don't think that picking any team from the West is a bad pick. I could see any team from the West getting to the Final, even Minnesota.

(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (8) Calgary Flames

 

Detroit will win the series, but this isn't going to be a sweep or so. Calgary will take them right to the wire. Seven games for Detroit.

 

(4) Nashville Predators vs. (5) San Jose Sharks

 

Probably the most exciting series in the West. Will Joe Thorton show up this year? I hope so, because the Preds will win in six.

 

(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) Dallas Stars -

 

Vancouver goaltending could be in question (can Luongo play well in playoffs). The answer is yes, and Dallas will be out in six.

 

(2) Ducks vs. (7) Minnesota Wild

 

My upset. While Anaheim is a strong team, they have to realize that there is no shootouts anymore come playoff hockey. Wild will burn them in five games.

 

(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (8) New York Islanders

 

Sabres in five. Any more games, then Buffalo isn't going far.

 

(4) Ottawa Senators vs. (5) Pittsburgh Penguins

 

Exciting series so far, and it has to be in the first round. Ottawa will win in seven games, but hockey fans win out on this series.

 

(3) Atlanta Thrashers vs. (6) New York Rangers

 

I can see the Rangers upsetting Atlanta. I don't see the Thrashers as a major threat. Rangers in six.

 

(2) New Jersey Devils vs. (7) Tampa Bay Lightning

 

Devils in six. Tampa will win their two home games, but it'll be low scoring.

 

 

Coming out of the western conference: Vancouver

Eastern: New Jersey

 

Winner: New Jeresy (one more for the meadowlands)

 

Conn Smythe: Zack Parise

It would be great if the Rangers defeat Atlanta. NYI and NYR to the semifinals? I'm all for that. But, I think the Thrashers are the better team... more scoring ability, and likely the better goalie.

 

Ottawa over Other Hockey Teams

Keep it down, homer.

No Saturday night games with Canadian teams sucks. Ooh, Tampa/Jersey.

 

Ottawa on NBC is kinda weird, though, even though I know its just for Crosby.

(1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (8) Calgary Flames - I like Kiprusoff to steal it, and Detroit sucks in the playoffs. Calgary in 7.

(4) Nashville Predators vs. (5) San Jose Sharks - I think San Jose is the better rounded team. If Thornton produces, they're fine. San Jose in 6.

(3) Vancouver Canucks vs. (6) Dallas Stars - Dallas is the much, much better team, but Vancouver has their life preserver Luongo. If Turco doesn't stink up the joint, Dallas in 7.

(2) Ducks vs. (7) Minnesota Wild - Ducks in 5. The less said, the better.

 

(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (8) New York Islanders - The only way NYI even sniffs a single victory in this, is if Buffalo has some bad nerves. Buffalo in 4.

(4) Ottawa Senators vs. (5) Pittsburgh Penguins - Ottawa has the experience, just not very good experience. Still, it's not Pittsburgh's time yet. Ottawa in 7.

(3) Atlanta Thrashers vs. (6) New York Rangers - Bah. Rangers in 6.

(2) New Jersey Devils vs. (7) Tampa Bay Lightning - Tampa is terrible, but I think they'll get a game because of their scoring. NJ in 5.
