Just a fun thread, man up and tell us how well you predicted this year at the start? I remember having rather heated conversations about Montreal and Vancouver with some so man up and tell us how you done?

Im doing pretty good on mine but not perfect!

Things I predicted that I remember:

-Oilers would make play offs - looks like im wrong on this one baring a huge turn around in coaching attitude and team preformance in last 10 games.

- Calgary would win divison - I think this will happen

- Vancouver will do well in regular season but not win 2 rounds in play offs. - Time will tell on this one still but they are doing well in regular season after some bad bumps! Still dont think they have the mental toughness to win 2 rounds in play offs

- Montreal (same prediction as Vancouver) - Well they not doing as well as I thought they would in regular season to be honest but all signs point to a early play off exit for them so that part of prediction still valid!

- San Jose/Detroit to win cup - Im not sure about this anymore, Calgary is more a threat then I thought they would be at start of season and Detroit has terrible goaltending on some nights. If I was guessing again Id predict Calgary or San Jose rather then Detroit to win cup.

So anyways, thats what I predicted at start of season (that I can remember anyways) and how it looks right now, 10 - 13 games from end of regular season. Guess im about 60/40 which isnt terrible :)

I obviously had Montreal doing much worse than I predicted.

I didn't have Chicago making the playoffs.

I certainly didn't have Boston doing as well as they're doing.....well were doing anyway.

Didn't see St. Louis in a playoff battle.

Never thought Ottawa could've been as bad as the were for most of the season.
