NHL 09/10 PREDICTIONS. ( STANDINGS, LEAGUE LEADERS, AWARDS, STANLEY CUP FINALS. )

Eastern Conference

1. Washington Capitals ( Ovechkin will lead the way, also Backstrom, Semin, and Varly will help em out for 1st.)
2. New Jersey Devils
( Brodeur is the reason NJ will win the Atlantic division, aswell as Parise tearin' it up!! )
3. Buffalo Sabres
( Thanks to Miller having a career season, Sabres win the Northeast, Vanek, Pominville, Roy also big factors for the success the Sabres will carry out through the season.)
4. Pittsburgh Penguins
( Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Fleury are still superstars, but Pens fall to 4th by April. )
5. Boston Bruins
( Bruins are still a good team and are still playoff worthy, but the loss of Kessel is showing in their game, they fall from 1st to 5th throughout the year. )
6. Atlanta Thrashers
(Big improvement over the year, Antropov was clutch, Afinigenov was clutch, also, Peverly and Kovalchuk are on fire!! Aswell as Pavelec!! Thrashers make playoffs this season. )
7. Toronto Maple Leafs
( People thought these guys were crap, please, a gritty, hard-working team night in and night out, these guys keep fighting, their makin' the playoffs, in 7th place. )
8. Philadelphia Flyers
( Flyers, something going wrong right now but they'll snap out of it, Carter, Pronger, Richards will cary them JUST into the playoffs. )
9. Ottawa Senators
10. New York Rangers
11. Montreal Canadiens
12. New York Islanders
13. Florida Panthers
14. Tampa Bay Lightning

Western Conference

1. San Jose Sharks
( Their a great regular season team & they'll get a few points higher then LA for 1st place )
2. Chicago Blackhawks
( Great job rebuilding, cup contenders and there is no way Detroit is going higher then CHI this year. )
3. Calgary Flames
( Kipper is having a phenomanl season & CGY will beat COL by just a couple of points. )
4. Los Angeles Kings
( LA is stacked this year, they got a tough month ahead in January so my guess is they drop down a few spots and work their way up to atleast 4th place, just a few back from 1st! )
5. Colorado Avalanche
( COL is having a good season but I don't think their good enough to win their division, but they finish a solid 5th )
6. Detroit Red Wings
( Their definetly not the same Detroit without Hossa & Hudler, still a great team but other teams are starting to gain confidence and talent. Red Wings finish 6th. )
7. Phoenix Coyotes
( Coyotes have made a great turn-around and they're good enough for playoff hockey this 2010. )
8. Nashville Predators
( Predators are the team that could and JUST squeeze in for the playoffs. )
9. Vancouver Canucks
10. Dallas Stars
11. Columbus Blue-Jackets
