Are you kidding, Vancouver at 9, Colorado at 10 and Edmonton at 11 are you kidding?  This whole conference setup is crazy.

I guess it’s a good thing the same doesn’t apply to comments…

But rather than just prattle on about typographical errors and how the list sucks, why not present some actual evidence, or at least a fact of some kind?

Myself, I think the list looks mostly good. It does seem a little unlikely that both Chicago and Phoenix will improve enough to make the playoffs ahead of both the other top two NW Division teams. But I think probably one of them will.

Predicting the order of the Pacific Division finish correctly will be the key to whether or not this prediction gets wrecked in April. The Pacific Division will be absolutely brutal again this season.

Ok, fair enough.

a) I wasn’t “prattling on” about typographical errors, I was “prattling on” about grammatical errors.  Thanks for coming out though.
b) I’m sorry, facts?  Are you aware that this is a prediction?  Predictions aren’t based on facts, they’re based on past performances and OPINIONS.  So I’m sorry, there are no FACTS when it comes to predicting the future.
c) As for presenting arguments, I’ve already done that on the division prediction pages.  I’ve already argued why I think PSH is completely wrong with the predictions of Minnesota, Vancouver, Colorado and Edmonton.  I didn’t feel the need to regurgitate them on this page.  Sorry I wasn’t so considerate of you, your majesty.  Begging forgiveness.

Thanks for coming out, though.

Vancouver should make the playoffs with a goalie like luongo with all their cancers gone. Atleast this website has the common sense to know the west is the only conference that matters in terms of teams that have a shot at the cup. NHL needs to fix the conference so they are more even. Teams like vancouver have a .850 win percentage against east. Its getting a little boring. East fans are also missing all the good hockey
