Official prediction: Leafs win Cup behind Luongo playoff clutchiness
Best Title ever
Jesus I love everything right now. Thinking about how each regular season game is going to basically be worth twice as much as usual bones me up hard. Some dog shit team like the Islanders is going to start the season on a 12 game streak and somehow make the playoffs this year. I. can't. waitttt.
This will be indeed a special Year
Islanders vs Blue jackets Cup final
CALL IT!
lol
With a shortened season, teams that start well could see the post season....my God, will we finally see the Leafs make it into the playoffs after the 2005 lockout?????
From last to make playoffs to first!
WHAT A PROGRESSION!

Predictions:
Detroit is going to be frighteningly mediocre. Barely makes it to playoffs.
Vancouver either wins it all or misses the playoffs entirely.
Minnesota does better then people think (ie makes the playoffs)
Rick Nash gets badly injured. Crosby does not.
Florida makes the playoffs.
Carolina regrets signing Semin.
Also Palin I'm still in for Espn.
Chicago wins not only the Central but the Pacific and the Northwest after every other team mysteriously comes down with a case of the bubonic plague and is forced into confinement for the season, canceling all their games.

This lol, not sure if you guys recall, but Lidstrom retired and Holmstrom is like 50. Their team is pretty much Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and a bunch of 2nd liners. They've started very slowly and turned it on later in the year three or four seasons in a row, that's not going to fly this year.
