It's time for the west. Last night's Oilers game against Calgary gave me something to think about before I made these predictions, but I still didn't pick them to make the playoffs.
1. Sharks: Niemi should back-stop San Jose's offense
2. Nucks: Why not?
3. Wings: Old, but still good
4. Kings: This year's Hawks
5. Hawks: Because they're the Champs
6. Blues: HALAK!!
7. Yotes: No pressure, No fans, No problem
8. Avs: Good coaching and young core
9. Flames: I'm starting to feel embarrassed 10. Ducks: Just look at their D
11. Preds: Need offense
12. Oil: Not quite yet
13. Jackets: They're missing something
14. Wild: Work in progress
15. Stars: New era starts flat
Really, every team in the west has playoff potential, but some just don't compete.
Stanley Cup Prediction:
Capitals over Canucks in 7*
By then, the Canucks would have fought their way through the tough West, facing the Yotes, Kings and Sharks. The Caps would have won an easy series against Buffalo, and a harder 6 games against the Sens, and a 7 game showdown against the Penguins.
*This prediction should happen if the Caps add a Defensive D-man who can patrol the Caps zone (no, not Chris Phillips). Solid goaltending from Neuvirth if not Varlamov should backstop the Caps to a title.
Now let's watch some hockey!
