NHL 2010-11 Predictions


WEST

1 - Vancouver (I like their off-season additions / movement)
2 - Los Angeles (Quick or Bernier will get it done to help them reach the next level)
3 - Detroit (Too many vets. It's like going through the motions)
4 - Phoenix (Not a fluke)
5 - San Jose (Niemi doesn't help them in the regular season like Nabokov did)
6 - Colorado (I really don't think they'll finish this high, but they seem better than the teams below them)
7 - Blackhawks (Still have enough firepower in the right positions, Turco is good enough, I guess)
8 - Predators / Blues (I can't pick between these two. I believe in Rinne and the Blues just have too much depth up front for me to deny them a shot)
------------------
9 - Blues / Predators (Halak helps this team get over the hump and into the mix)
10 - Flames (Some form of collapse at some point this season, it's only natural)
11 - Ducks (Hiller faces a tough challenge with that D)
12 - Stars (Lehtonen nor Raycroft get the job done despite having a decent and well coached team)
13 - Wild (Excellent goalie, solid defense, not enough scoring depth unless Havlat and Koivu's shoulders grew immensely over the summer)
14 - Blue Jackets (Rick Nash, Filatov and Voracek carry them as far as they can 14th place)
15 - Oilers (Probably the last time they're in the basement, if they can figure out their goalie situation)

 

 

EAST

1 - Washington (The regular season Peyton Manning stat whores of the NHL, Varlamov's 3.89 GAA is good enough for 40 wins)
2 - New Jersey (Brodeur has his last Vezina-type season. They finally get enough scoring to win games 3-1 instead of 2-1)
3 - Buffalo (Miller carries this team again. He becomes the best goalie in the East, dethroning Brodeur)
4 - Pittsburgh (Malkin regains his Art Ross form. Except for their 6/7th defensemen, this is their deepest team in years. They'll miss Staal at the begining as the league tests P.K. Subban's skates for VD)
5 - Boston (Horton and Seguin should help, but proven scoring keeps them from establishing themselves where they should be - an Eastern contender)
6 - Tampa Bay (The southern hype machine lives up to their projections. Stamkos somehow takes another step forward)
7 - Carolina (They seem to alternate between good and bad years, Cam Ward helps their consistency)
8 - Philadelphia (Their goalie situation is so bad that they could finish 12th. Somehow Laviolette will get them on track)
----------------------
9 - Montreal (Carey Price does enough, but doesn't handle the work load as well as he should've)
10 - Ottawa - (Another fugly goalie situation. Losing Volchenkov drops them to 10th, yes he was that important)
11 - New York Rangers (Gaborik, Del Zotto and Lundqvist. They get this far on those three)
12 - Toronto (Another rebuilding year. A healthy defensive unit goes a long way as the Leafs dress two of them to play goalie at the same time)
13 - Panthers (Poor Tomas Vokoun. That's about it)
14 - New York Islanders (I don't know how, but they finish above someone in the East)
15 - Atlanta (I don't think anyone has a clue what is going on down there. They have enough talent to play respectively, but don't put anything together until it's too late. It's what Atlanta does best)

 

Cup - Vancouver (Now that I've cursed them...)

Hart - Kopitar

Vezina - Brodeur

Calder - Seguin (on account of his team being better because of him)

Norris - Doughty / Weber

Presidents - Washington

Wales - New Jersey

Campbell - Vancouver

Adams - Ruff / Murray

I think the Penguins will win the cup. Yes, I know i'm a blantant homer, but its looking good this year. Shero has put together an amazing group, and still will have some cap space to play with at the deadline. Very tough team to play against.

The Islanders will be a better team, but will finish in last place due to the fact that half of their games are against the Penguins, Flyers, and Devils, with some games vs the Crapitals in between.

Ovechicken**** and the rest of the Semin lovers will run away with the presidents trophy again, then crumble in the playoffs. Might make it all the way to the conference finals this time, but I just dont see them getting past Pittsburgh, Philly, Jersey, and Boston in a best of 7. Maybe one, but not 2 or 3 of them. Hell, if Buffalo is an 8th seed, I wouldn't count out Miller beating them single handed.

Finals: Penguins over Pheonix.
Hart: Crosby
Norris: If Lidstrom has a decient season, it will go to him as a swan song on his way out. If not, then Chara if the Bruins stay healthy and they win their division.
Vezina: Brodure (see above). But Miller or Bryzgalov wouldnt surprise me.
Calder: John Carlson

so now that the season is over we can look back at what we all thought.... i like Rob Ives picks 7-1 in the West 6-2 in the east making it.. plus predicting president trophy winner Vancouver... but i think the real winner and wow impressive as well.. is ..... John of the Avs.. 7-1 in the west and east.. only missed out on anaheim in the west and the rangers in the east..

playoff predictions should get quite interesting...

7-1 in the West (VAN, DET, CGY and EDM correctly slotted), 6-2 in the East (WSH, PIT and NYI correctly slotted).
