  1. Now that someone is starting to predict the Islanders will make it further, I predict that they will miss the playoffs.
    My Islanders play best when nobody sees them coming.

  2. This is good, except for the fact that you guys think the oilers will get past a round. Every one says that the oilers will win rounds, but they can barely win playoff games. With an offseason like that NO WAY! I also believe Calgary is going to make it this year.

  3. we pre much the exact same perdictions, the west side is pre much prefect with the p vegas edmonton vancover and the central having both wildcards

  4. As a Leafs fan I have zero faith in my team after what happened last season. But on the other hand, the Leafs do like preforming well in the regular season and give their fans hope that maybe this year will be the one we win a round, just to choke in another game 7 situation. Going to be very close with teams like the bruins and panthers but honestly knowing the Leafs luck, we’ll probably end up 3rd with Boston taking second, ultimately having to play them in the first round and lose yet another game 7 to them. Basically screw the Leafs, you’re the reason why I have anxiety and trust issues. Win a round and maybe I’ll start to know what happiness feels like.
