This is actually a tough one. I mean, my team didn't make the playoffs and the ones that did really put a lot of effort to get in it or get back in it. If you had noticed some did well in the beginning and then started to fall apart, but they somehow managed to squeeze back in. So I have been trying to make my own predictions this season and I find it difficult. I can't base this off who I like, but rather how the season seemed to have played out. This is a different season. You had teams really competing against another good team when usually, they would lose to. At this point, everyone's predictions can be way off. I feel it's time for Boston to come back in and say "hey, look we still exist" But who knows. Pittsburgh had done really well and after what happened last season, they were really close and may want it more.
As long as the Ducks don't win, then I say go for it to any other team...even the Sharks.
