TorinK92 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I saw the NBA and the NFL versions go up, so I figured it was about time.Maybe this could also delve into the Olympic roster predictions?Anyway, here's my two cents (I'm only doing the top 10 in this post)East:BostonPittsburghWashingtonDetroitOttawa NY Rangers*******************TorontoMontreal============NY IslandersColumbusWest:ChicagoLos AngelesSan JoseSt LouisMinnesotaAnaheim****************VancouverWinnipeg===========PhoenixDallasNotes:Boston -Chicago going as the no 1 seeds seems a bit safe, but given the way that the NHL mostly worked last playoffs, I think it actually might happen.I think the Blue Jackets will be better than they had been, but I'd be insane to say that they could keep up their pace in the second half of last season. They're moving into a tough division and Bobrovsky could still fall yet, he did play for the Flyers after all.Homerism for Ottawa? YesThat would set up an Ottawa - Detroit playoff series that I would go to absolutely every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Senators win the Cup. I had hoped they would do it with Alfredsson hoisting the Cup on his way out, but oh well, I guess Bobby Ryan is pretty good. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a sweep where every game is 7-0. Either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 With this new playoff format, I don't know how to rank the teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 With this new playoff format, I don't know how to rank the teams.Quite simple actually (grab a snack)Top division seeds get th #1 and 2 seeds in the conference. The next two Teams in each division get into the top 6 as well ( making the division seeding 3 for 2 divisions rather than 1 for 3 divisions, didn't we want to get rid of that thing?)Then in the playoffs it's 1 vs 8 , 2 vs 7, and the 2nd a 3rd seeds in opposite divisions play each other.It is kind of confusing nowWhich means I was wrong about the DET - OTT series, it would be NYR vs DET and OTT vs WSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Caps miss the playoffs by more than 10 points out of eighth place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 - All the old southeastern division teams will miss the playoffs. - The Blue Jackets will make the playoffs- At least 2 of the Central division playoff teams will be terrible. - The Blackhawks will finish first in the west (this isn't a prediction. It will happen. That division is 2010 NFC West bad)- A good team in the East will miss the playoffs- Somebody important will get injured during the Olympics- The Olympics will not live up to the 2010 tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Prediction: Outdoor games are going to get old in a hurry by the end of the season. On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

kevsim1 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Not really, but they'll probably have the roof open. But I do agree with you, i wouldn't consider that an outdoor game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 CUP- Montreal over St. LouisBoy I can just envision the riots now. I still remember how bad the 1993 riots were, and they even had mini-riots when the Habs went to the Conference finals 3 years ago.Anyway its going to be a Minnesota North Stars-Hartford Whalers Stanley Cup Final and the Quebec Nordiques will win the Cup.
